The space race is enriched with a new, exciting chapter. China recently launched the probe Chang’e–6whose goal is to land on the less explored side of the Moon and return with samples that could reveal the differences between this remote region and the better-known side.
China’s space program is gaining ground, competing with the United Statescurrent leaders in the sector. Not only: the China it also hosts a crew on one station orbital space and aims to send astronauts to the Moon by 2030with as many as three lunar missions planned in the next four years.
The far side of the Moon, free from terrestrial interference, provides an environment ideal for radio astronomy and other scientific research. Given that this side does not addresses never towards the Eartha link satellite is required to maintain communications.
The launch of the probe Chang’e-6
The rocket carrying the probe Chang’e–6 took off as scheduled at 5.27pm on Friday from the launch center in Wenchangin the island province of Hainan.

“I declare this launch mission a complete success,”
Zhang said, receiving more applause.
In conclusionthe Chinese enterprise not only demonstrates the growing competence technological development of the country in the space sector, but also opens new possibility for scientific research away from distractions and terrestrial interference.
What an impactnyes these missions will have on ours knowledge of space?
