China Successfully Lands Probe on Moon's Far Side for Historic Mission

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe successfully landed on the far side of the Moon in the South Pole-Aitken Basin to collect samples, marking the first time this rarely explored area will be sampled. The mission, which began on May 3, involves complex maneuvers and aims to gather lunar soil and rocks using a drill and robotic arm. This achievement is part of China's ambitious space program, which includes plans for a crewed mission to the Moon by 2030.
