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.
 
中国嫦娥四号探测器于周四在月球背面着陆，成为在月球背面软着陆的第一台航天器。
 
The probe comprised of a lander and a rover, touched down at the preselected landing area at 177.6 degrees east longitude1 and 45.5 degrees south latitude2 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 Magpie3 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 Aerospace4 Control Center sent an order at 10:15 a.m., the Chang'e-4 probe, launched on Dec. 8, 2018, began to descend5 from 15 km above the moon with a variable thrust engine being ignited, said CNSA.
 
The Chang'e-4's relative velocity6 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 hovered7 to identify obstacles and measured the slopes on the surface. After avoiding the obstacles, it selected a relatively8 flat area and descended9 vertically10 and slowly.
 
Then the probe landed in the Von Karman Crater11 in the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
 
During the descending12 process, a camera on the probe took photos of the landing area.
