The historic landing of China's Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon shows that it has successfully completed the six key stages of its journey, and opening a new chapter in lunar exploration.
The probe, including a lander and a rover, was launched by the Long March-3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Dec 8, 2018 directly into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit.
The spacecraft then embarked on a voyage of around five days to the moon. As it approached, the probe decelerated and entered an elliptical lunar orbit.
Chang'e 4 then orbited the moon for about half a month, while preparing for the final landing as instruments onboard the ship were used to analyze the planned descent area. As it hovered and approached the moon, it adjusted its altitude and speed to make for a soft landing process.
Monitored by the Beijing Control Center, Chang'e-4 touched down on the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on Jan 3, 2019, and shortly after landing, the Yutu-2, a lunar rover on the landing craft drove onto the lunar surface and dispatched the first photo of the moon's surface from its far side back to Earth via a satellite communication relay.
Both the lander and rover carry scientific payloads of instruments to study the geophysics of the landing zone. The rover will collect more information about the surrounding lunar surface captured by the camera facilitates and sent them to the Control Center.
