China's Chang'e-6 lunar lander has achieved a significant milestone by successfully landing on the far side of the moon. The landing, which took place in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, marks a crucial step in China's ambitious mission to advance its space exploration efforts.
The Chang'e-6 probe, part of China's most complex robotic lunar endeavor to date, is set to collect samples from the lunar surface. This uncrewed mission aims to return samples to Earth from the moon's far side for the first time, following the historic achievement of the Chang'e-4 probe in 2019.
