Chang'e-6 will sample the far side of the moon for the first time

The Chang'e-6 probe is about 7.2 meters tall and weighs about 8 tons. It is China's heaviest deep space probe to date. From bottom to top, it consists of an orbiter, a returner, a lander, and an ascender. According to the plan, after the probe separates from the rocket, it will fly on the Earth-moon transfer orbit, and after arriving near the moon, it will "brake" and enter the predetermined orbit. The lander and ascender combination chooses an opportunity to land on the back of the moon and collect lunar samples. The orbiter and returner wait in the lunar orbit. After completing the work on the lunar surface, the ascender carries the samples and flies to the lunar orbit to meet the orbiter and returner. The assembly docks and transfers the sample, and then the assembly enters the lunar-Earth transfer orbit and returns to the vicinity of the Earth. The returner chooses an opportunity to re-enter the atmosphere and return to the Earth.
