China’s Chang’e-4 Lander to the Moon’s far Side

China is going to do something new which no one has done before, as china is going where no
one has gone before: The far side of the moon.

A rocket which is carrying the chang’e-4 lunar lander blasted off at about 2:23 a.m. local time on
Saturday from Xichange satellite launch center in southern china. The Chinese authorities did not
broadcast the launch but some an unofficial live stream recorded the footage at that spot. Chinese
representatives have talked about Chang’e-4 in public, but their dealings with journalists more
look like the wisely managed scheme used by the Soviet program during the Cold War rather
than the more open persuasive by NASA and many other space organizations. That’s way, the
Chinese, like the Soviets, could claim about the achievements and modulate any disasters.

When we talk about the China’s Chang’e-4, there is a need to know that what is the mission?
What is the purpose of that mission?

Chang’e-4 have two major parts: The lander is about 2,4 00 pounds and the rover is weighing
about 300 pounds. The previous spacecraft chang’e-4 in 2013 landed on the moon and chang’e-4
is the clone of the previous spacecraft and is built to backup if the first attempt failed. The
Chinese changed the different set of instruments and decided to send the chang’e-4 spacecraft on
different location.

Where is the chang’e-4 going? Well we have an answer; the rover will plot in the 110-mile-wide
Von Kármán crater. It is the far side of the moon, which is always pebbledash away from Earth.
The crater is surrounded by an area known as the South Pole-Aitken basin, a gigantic, 1,600-
mile-wide crater at the extremity of the moon, which has mineralogy separate from other
locations. That may reflect materials from the inside of the moon that was brought up by the
influence that created the basin.

The china sending spacecraft on the moon from earth and there is question that how this chang’e-
4 communicates with earth because the moon blocks the radio signals. Well, china has launched
a satellite named Queqiao in May. This satellite will circle the high over the far side of the moon
and will relay message between the Earth and the chang’e-4 lander.
China’s space agency has not broadcasted yet a landing date; though some believe that will be
the first week of January, when the sun will be shining over the far side of the moon, an
significant contemplation because Chang’e-4 is solar-powered. The first new moon of 2019 is 6th
January. That’s when you cannot see the moon as the dark side the side that is in sleuth facing
away from the sun is facing Earth. And when the close side of the moon is dark, the far side is
overflowing in bright sunshine.
