Chang'e 4 landing zone location on the far side of the Moon, which is not visible from Earth due to tidal locking. The Chinese Lunar Exploration Program is designed to be conducted in four [18] phases of incremental technological advancement: The first is simply reaching lunar orbit, a task completed by Chang'e 1 in 2007 and Chang'e 2 in 2010.
The robotic “flying detector” will be deployed to the lunar south pole as part of China’s Chang’e-7 mission, which aims to bring the country closer to landing astronauts on the moon within ...

It was a follow-up to the Chang'e 1 lunar probe, which was launched in 2007. Chang'e 2 was part of the first phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program, and conducted research from a 100-km-high lunar orbit in preparation for the December 2013 soft landing by the Chang'e 3 lander and rover.
The success of the Chang'e-6 mission could give China's lunar and space exploration program, already in close competition with the United States, greater pull among foreign governments and scientists.
