China is set to become the first country to ever return samples from the far side of the Moon. The mission dubbed Chang'e-6 is carrying a previously undisclosed lunar rover, indicating a significant step in lunar exploration.
The mini rover attached to the lander raises curiosity about its purpose and how it will be deployed on the Moon's surface. Its short lifespan due to lunar night exposure hints at a brief yet impactful mission.
China's Chang'e-6 mission follows its successful Chang'e-4 lunar probe that landed on the far side of the Moon in 2019. The upcoming mission aims to explore the southern edge of the Apollo Basin, potentially providing valuable samples for scientific research.
