China's Chang'e 6 mission achieved a historic milestone as its spacecraft touched down on the far side of the Moon, targeting the South Pole-Aitken Basin. Launched on May 3, the mission aims to gather vital rock and soil samples, potentially shedding light on the formation of planets and the origin of water in the solar system. Utilizing innovative technologies and autonomous systems, the probe navigated the challenging landing process. If successful, the collected materials could significantly advance lunar exploration and pave the way for future scientific endeavors, including the establishment of a human presence on the Moon.
