Chinese lunar rover sent the first ever pictures of the far side of the moon
China has long become one of the space powers, and is successfully implementing its program of studying the moon.
China Space Science Corporation and equipment (CASC) published the first surface images taken on the far side of the moon by the Chinese Chang'e-4 spacecraft, which landed on the moon this morning, which in itself is an important event that will go down in the history of space exploration by mankind.
The Chang'e-4 lander was successfully launched from the Sichan Cosmodrome, located in the southwestern province of Sichuan, and, after almost thirty days of flight, reached the Earth’s satellite.
The Chang'e-4 includes a stationary lunar station and a lunar rover, which will study the surface of the planet.
Recall that the previous Chinese lunar rover Yutu (Jade Hare) examined the lunar surface in the Crater of the Rainbow crater from December 2013 to August 2016, having worked 31 months instead of 12 on the Earth’s satellite.
Chinese Lunokhods became the first Earth mechanisms on the Moon, after in December 1972 the American astronauts from the crew of Apollo 17 left the planet-satellite, whose presence there still raises doubts among experts in the space field.
