After the experience of completing Chang'e one to three, we have made great breakthroughs in orbit determination, with position error of 100 meters. In this way, we can control the lunar orbit, and aim at the targeted landing site to carry out landing."

China's Chang'e-4 moon probe which successfully landed on the far side of the moon on Jan. 3, has achieved a number of key technological breakthroughs in space exploration, according to the deputy director of the Beijing Aerospace Control Center.

The probe launched successfully, starting its journey to the far side of the moon on December 8, 2018, and it successfully landed in a pre-selected area on January 3, 2019. The whole process has showed China's achievements in space exploration.

"We must improve our accuracy of orbit determination to control the probe in such a long time. After the experience of completing Chang'e one to three, we have made great breakthroughs in orbit determination, with position error of 100 meters. In this way, we can control the lunar orbit, and aim at the targeted landing site to carry out landing," said He Jun, the deputy director of the Beijing Aerospace Control Center.

After the successful landing, Chang'e-4's mission will shift to scientific exploration phase. The lander and rover will carry out inspection and exploration work on the moon.

Xie Jianfeng, chief engineer of Chang'e-4 mission, said that the completion of the mission has beyond their expectations.

"The result is beyond our expectations in terms of accuracy of all kinds of calculations in the center, and the working conditions of all kinds of equipment. The result is better than what we expect to achieve," said Xie.

The success of the mission also laid a solid foundation for future exploration to the space, He added.

"The Chang'e-4 mission has raised the working coordination and the ability of the network for exploring deep space. The network has already have the ability to support for deep space detection, which lays a solid foundation for future development of space exploration," said He.
