A Chinese spacecraft successfully landed on the far side of the moon on Sunday, marking a significant milestone in the country's space exploration efforts. The mission aims to collect soil and rock samples from the South Pole-Aitken Basin, a large crater that has not been extensively studied before.
This mission is part of the Chang'e moon exploration program, named after a Chinese moon goddess. It is the sixth mission in the program and the second designed to bring back samples, following the successful Chang'e 5 mission on the near side of the moon in 2020.
