Chinese space probe "Chang'e-4" carried out a soft landing on the surface of the back side of the moon near the South pole of the satellite, becoming the first man-made spacecraft, which was able to do. Aboard the station is a Rover that will examine the landing site, conduct geological and astrophysical experiments for the cultivation of living organisms in low gravity.

The Probe was launched to the moon on 7 December 2018. After 112 hours, the spacecraft reached the orbit of the moon and a Chinese space flight Center started the moon landing. The landing was timed to the beginning of the lunar day. About ten earth days the lander and the Rover will be able to work from solar panels.

Communication with devices is supported via an orbiting satellite relay", Zhuazao", which is beyond the Moon at Lagrange point L2. Landers landed in the crater his Pocket, in the pool South pole — Aitken. It is the largest and one of the oldest impact structures on the moon. According to the latest reports, here on the surface there is a substance of the upper mantle: gabbro, norite, calcium-poor pyroxenes. They will help scientists to shed light on the origin of Earth satellite.

Chinese news channel CGTN with reference to the Chinese space Agency has published on his page in Twitter the first photos from "Chang'e-4" from the surface of the shaped side of the moon.

In the field of space research the new year has begun very actively. December 31 for the orbit of the asteroid Bennu came out the spacecraft , situated at an altitude of 1.6 kilometers above the surface of the object; on 1 January it was reported that the interplanetary station "New horizons" successfully flew past asteroid Ultima Thule on the outskirts of the Solar system, having become acquainted with the object at a distance of 3,500 kilometres, photographing it, and collecting new scientific data.
