China Lands Spacecraft on Far Side of Moon for Sample Retrieval

China successfully landed an uncrewed spacecraft, Chang'e-6, on the far side of the moon on Sunday. The landing module touched down in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, a gigantic impact crater on the moon's space-facing side. This mission marks the sixth in China's Chang'e Moon exploration program and is designed to collect samples from the rarely explored area of the moon. The probe will be the first to retrieve samples from this region, which has never been explored by any country before.
