The probe “Changue-5”, successfully landing on the moon

“Chang e-5” successfully landed in the Western-sized area of 51.8 degrees and northern width 43.1, sending photos from its landing. Deputy Director of the Beijing Cosmic Flight Control Centre He Jun said:

This decrease has very high control accuracy, which has laid a very strong basis for future jobs on the moon, leaving the moon, connecting to space and turning the probe to Earth. ”

The default area for lowering the probe “Change-5” is located near the Rümker Mountains north of the largest crater on the moon.

Scientists have suggested landing in this area, because compared to the landing and taking samples from the US and Russia, there may be newer basalt layers in this area.

Vice-chairman of China's lunar Research Project and director of the Lunar Space and Exploration Programme Centre near the National Space Administration, Liu Jizhong, explains:

When we make this choice, we took into account the implementation of the project as well as the importance for scientific studies. On the part of scientific studies, an area where neither the United States nor Russia have explored, is a new area.

For key points and landing difficulties on the moon, the general developer of the probe “Change-5” Penguin Jing presents:

“We have made a special design for avoiding obstacles, and at an altitude of about 100 meters, the areas under the probe landing tool will be photographed.

As it is learned, after a successful landing, the Lander, controlled by Earth, will begin work 2-day to collect samples from the moon.
