China’s Chang’e 6 has landed successfully on the moon’s far side.
With the assistance of the Queqiao 2 relay satellite, the Chang’e 6 landing craft softly settled on the lunar surface in a designated site inside the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
The landing marked the arrival of China’s second-ever spacecraft on the far side, which is believed by scientists to hold clues to the mysteries of the moon and the solar system.
In the next two days, the Chinese craft will use a robotic arm and a drill to collect surface and underground substances before a return journey.
