  • 5 years ago

For the first time in history, a mobile probe is active on the far side of the Moon.
At 10:22 p.m. Beijing time yesterday (Thursday January 3), China’s Jade Rabbit 2 rover touched the Moon’s soft, snow-like surface after slowly rolling down a track extending from the Chang’e 4 lander, according to state broadcaster CCTV, and as relayed by the Associated Press. The rover was deployed about 10 hours after the Chang’e 4 spacecraft landed on the Moon.
