BEIJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- China's Chang'e-4 probe touched down on the far side of the moon Thursday, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's uncharted side that is never visible from Earth.

The probe comprised of a lander and a rover, touched down at the preselected landing area at 177.6 degrees east longitude and 45.5 degrees south latitude on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. (Beijing Time), the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced.

With the communication assistance of the relay satellite Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, the probe sent back the first-ever close-up photograph of the moon's far side, opening a new chapter in lunar exploration.

After the Beijing Aerospace Control Center sent an order at 10:15 a.m., the Chang'e-4 probe, launched on Dec. 8, 2018, began to descend from 15 km above the moon with a variable thrust engine being ignited, said CNSA.

The Chang'e-4's relative velocity to the moon was lowered from 1.7 km per second to close to zero, and the probe's attitude was adjusted at about 6 to 8 km above the lunar surface.

At 100 meters up, the probe hovered to identify obstacles and measured the slopes on the surface. After avoiding the obstacles, it selected a relatively flat area and descended vertically and slowly.

Then the probe landed in the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin.

During the descending process, a camera on the probe took photos of the landing area.

China names new moon rover "Yutu-2"
Source: Xinhua | 2019-01-03 23:48:33 | Editor: yan

BEIJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- China has chosen the name "Yutu-2", or Jade Rabbit-2, for its new moon rover, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced late Thursday.

The CNSA made the announcement after China's Chang'e-4 probe, comprised of a lander and a rover, landed on the far side of the moon earlier in the day.

In Chinese folklore, Yutu is the white pet rabbit of Chang'e, the moon goddess who lent her name to the Chinese lunar mission.

Legend has it that Chang'e, after swallowing a magic pill, took her pet and flew toward the moon where she became a goddess and has lived with the white jade rabbit ever since.

Last August, China launched a worldwide poll to name the rover. According to the CNSA, a total of 42,945 proposed names were submitted from Aug. 15 to Sept. 5, among which 3,192 names were submitted by more than two participants.

During the final round, Yutu-2 stood out from nine other names in online voting and a special committee discussion. The other names included "Tansuo" (Explore), "Guangming" (Light), and "Jintu" (Golden rabbit).

The CNSA said that Yutu is a symbol of kindness, purity, and agility, and is identical to the moon rover in both outlook and connotation. It also reflects China's peaceful use of space.

Yutu-2 faces more challenges than Yutu as its landing area, the Aitken Basin, is the largest, deepest and oldest crater in the solar system. "We hope Yutu-2 can make its exploration with no fear and have a more stable, wide and long journey," said the CNSA in a statement.

Like its predecessor, Yutu-2, capable of enduring vacuum pressure, intense radiation, and extreme temperatures is equipped with four scientific payloads, including a panoramic camera, infrared imaging spectrometer and radar measurement devices, to obtain images of the moon's surface and detect lunar soil and structure.

China's new lunar rover leaves first "footprint" on moon's far side
Source: Xinhua | 2019-01-04 00:58:55 | Editor: yan

BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's lunar rover, Yutu-2, or Jade Rabbit-2, left the first ever "footprint" from a human spacecraft on the far side of the moon late at night on Thursday, after it separated from the lander smoothly.

The rover touched the lunar surface at 10:22 p.m. on Thursday, leaving a trace on the loose lunar soil. The process was recorded by the camera on the lander and the images were sent back to the Earth via the relay satellite "Queqiao", the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced.

Launched on Dec. 8, 2018, China's Chang'e-4 lunar probe, comprising a lander and a rover, landed on the far side of the moon on Thursday morning.

Since the moon's revolution cycle is the same as its rotation cycle, the same side always faces the Earth. The other side, most of which cannot be seen from the Earth, is called the far side or dark side because most of it is uncharted.

After the successful landing, experts verified the conditions of "Queqiao", meaning Magpie Bridge, which was launched in May of 2018 to set up the communication link between the Earth and the moon's far side, the environment parameter of the landing area, the conditions of the probe's equipment as well as the angle of incoming sunshine to make preparations for the separation of the lander and rover, the CNSA said in a statement.

At 3:07 p.m., experts sent the separation order to the probe via "Queqiao".

After receiving the order, Yutu-2, atop the probe, extended its solar panel, stretched out its mast and started to drive slowly to the transfer mechanism, according to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center.

The transfer mechanism unlocked as planned with one side reaching the moon's surface, allowing the rover to descend to the surface from the slope.

Chang'e-3, consisting of China's first moon rover Yutu and a lander, was launched in 2013. It was the first Chinese spacecraft to soft-land on and explore an extraterrestrial object.

Like its predecessor, Yutu-2, capable of enduring vacuum pressure, intense radiation and extreme temperatures, is equipped with four scientific payloads, including a panoramic camera, infrared imaging spectrometer and radar measurement devices, to obtain images of the moon's surface and detect lunar soil and structure.

Новый китайский луноход получил название "Юйту-2"
2019-01-04 11:05:54丨Russian.News.Cn

Пекин, 3 января /Синьхуа/ -- 3 января вечером китайский луноход "Юйту-2" успешно отделился от посадочного устройства космического аппарата "Чанъэ-4", успешно прилунившись на обратной стороне Луны. Посадочное устройство зафиксировало на камеру первые следы, оставленные "Юйту-2" на поверхности обратной стороны Луны, и через спутник-ретранслятор "Цюэцяо" передало полученные изображения на Землю. Фотографии Синьхуа

Пекин, 4 января /Синьхуа/ -- Китай дал своему новому луноходу название "Юйту-2" /"Нефритовый кролик-2"/ . Об этом сообщило Китайское национальное космическое управление /CNSA/.

CNSA сделало это заявление после успешного прилунения китайского зонда "Чанъэ-4" на обратной стороне естественного спутника Земли 3 января.

По китайскому фольклору "Юйту" - это белый кролик, принадлежащий мифической богине Луны "Чанъэ". Именно под названием этой богини ведется китайская миссия зондирования Луны.

В августе 2018 года Китай запустил по всему миру сбор предложений о названии нового лунохода. За период от 15 августа по 5 сентября CNSA собрало 42 945 предложенных названий, в том числе 3 192 названия было предложено более чем двумя участниками.

В финальном раунде онлайн отбора и по результатам специальной экспертной дискуссии название "Юйту-2" получило наибольшее число голосов, опередив другие девять альтернативных названий, включая "Таньсо" /"Исследование"/, "Гуанмин" /"Свет"/ и "Цзиньту" /"Золотой кролик"/.

Как пояснили в CNSA, "Юйту" представляет символ доброты, чистоты и ловкости. Это название подходит новому луноходу как по внешнему виду, так и по смыслу - намерение Китая мирно использовать космическое пространство.

"Юйту-2" стоит перед лицом более серьезных вызовов, чем его предшественник "Юйту", поскольку он прилунился в бассейне Южный полюс - Эйткен - самом крупном, глубоком и старом кратере в Солнечной системе. "Мы надеемся, что "Юйту-2" сможет совершить более спокойное, широкое и длинное путешествие по поверхности Луны", - сообщили в CNSA.

"Юйту-2" способен выдерживать вакуумное давление, интенсивное излучение и экстремальные температуры. Он оборудован четырьмя научными аппаратами, включая панорамную камеру, инфракрасный спектрометр и радарные измерительные устройства, которые предназначены для приобретения изображений лунной поверхности, а также разведки грунта и структуры никогда не видной с Земли лунной стороны.

BEIJING, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China's Chang'e-4 probe took panoramic photos on the lunar surface after it successfully made the first ever soft-landing on the far side of the moon.

The China National Space Administration (CNSA) Friday released the 360-degree panoramic photos taken by a camera installed on the top of the lander.

The images were sent back via the relay satellite Queqiao, which was operating around the second Lagrangian point of the earth-moon system, about 455,000 km fr om the earth, wh ere it can see both the earth and the moon's far side.

Scientists have made a preliminary analysis on the terrains and landform surrounding the probe according to the panoramic pictures.

Chang'e-4 probe touched down on the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin in the morning of Jan. 3, and the lunar rover Yutu-2 drove onto the lunar surface late that night.

Then the rover took a "nap" as the solar radiation raised the temperature on the lunar surface to over 100 degrees centigrade. It restarted to work on Thursday.

The lander, the rover and the relay satellite are in good condition, said CNSA.

1st LD: China declares Chang'e-4 mission complete success
Source: Xinhua | 2019-01-11 17:05:54 | Editor: huaxia

BEIJING, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China announced Friday that the Chang'e-4 mission, which realized the first-ever soft-landing on the far side of the moon, was a complete success.

With the assistance of the relay satellite Queqiao (Magpie Bridge), the rover Yutu-2 (Jade Rabbit-2) and the lander of the Chang'e-4 probe took photos of each other.

The scientific instruments aboard the probe worked well, and the images taken by the probe and the detection data have been sent back to ground control, said the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

At 4:47 p.m. Beijing Time on Friday, the images of the lander and the rover appeared on a large screen at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center, showing the Chinese national flag on both the lander and the rover with the desolate landscape dotted with craters on the far side of the moon as the background.

Chang'e-4 probe touched down at the preselected landing area at 177.6 degrees east longitude and 45.5 degrees south latitude in the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin on the far side of the moon on Jan. 3, and the rover drove onto the lunar surface late that night.

Named after Chinese moon goddess "Chang'e," China's lunar exploration program, which began in 2004, includes orbiting and landing on the moon and bringing samples back to Earth.

The program has achieved five continuous successes, said CNSA, referring to Chang'e-1, Chang'e-2, Chang'e-3, a test craft for Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-4.
