The Chang'e-4 lunar rover conducted video and photography of the surface of the satellite and found no traces of American astronauts there.

Decrypted data on transmitted messages between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the American Space Center have leaked onto the Internet. The scientific and biological goal of the expedition may lead to the discovery of new information about the first visit to the Moon by man.
Currently, Chang'e-4, in accordance with the flight program, is studying the mineral composition and structure of the lunar surface, and also conducts low-frequency radio astronomical observations.
Thanks to access to neural networks and modern telecommunications, we became aware of some details of closed correspondence between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the Space Center. J. Kennedy (Florida), concerning the lunar expedition.
Chinese lunar rover on the far side of the moon denied the fact of American landing
The decoding and translation of the information received indicates that the Chinese Chang'e-4 arrived at the landing site of the American Apollo 11 module and did not find there either a flag or instruments that were supposed to remain after their departure. Also in the exchange of messages, there is a clear desire of the American center to “turn away” the lunar rover from visiting the specified point, citing the complexity of the landscape and geomagnetic conditions. There is even mention of a promise to reduce duties on Chinese goods and every intention to help, just to prevent filming of Neil Armstrong's landing site.
The Chinese control center reported that it tried to change the route of the lunar rover based on the recommendations of its colleagues, but lost control over it for some time, and it continued its planned movement. After the question arose about the absence of the American flag at the previously indicated coordinates, the Florida center promised a speedy consideration of the case for the release of Meng Wanzhou, and expressed hope for mutual understanding and cooperation. The Beijing center, in turn, thanked for such a “business-like approach” to space issues.

The Chinese Queqiao satellite, transmitting a signal from the Chang'e 4 lunar probe, sent an amazing photographic image of the “dark side” of the Moon and the distant Earth.
The Queqiao relay satellite is located in a halo orbit at a distance of 65 thousand - 80 thousand km from the Moon.
Chang'e 4 was launched on December 7, and on January 2, the probe made the world's first soft landing on the far side of the Moon in the 186 km wide Von Karman crater. The six-wheeled Yutu 2 rover has already left the landing site and reached the edge of a smaller crater inside the Von Karman crater. He must work on the planet for at least three months.

Among the main objectives of the mission are the study of lunar soil, as well as testing the possibility of radio astronomy observations in the absence of interference from Earth. Based on the research results, scientists will consider the possibility of placing a small radio telescope on the surface of the Moon.
In addition, a biological experiment will be conducted in the probe's landing platform. Thus, the apparatus sent to the Moon contains a sealed container with seeds of potatoes and the Arabidopsis thaliana plant, as well as silkworm eggs.
Scientists want to test whether it is possible to create a closed ecosystem in spacecraft, in which the larvae will produce carbon dioxide, which plants can convert into oxygen through the processes of photosynthesis.
The Queqiao satellite was launched in May last year.
The previous image of the far side of the Moon and Earth was taken in 2014.
This was the photo from 2014
On January 3, the Chang'e-4 probe launched by China successfully landed on the far side of the Moon.
Earlier it was reported that China launched the Chang'e-4 lunar probe, which should make the first ever landing on the far (“dark”) side of the Moon.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has published a video of the landing of the Yutu-2 rover on the far side of the Moon. The CGTV channel reported this on its microblog in Twitter.
According to experts, the Chinese Chang'e lunar probing program includes three stages: flying around the Moon, landing on its surface and returning to Earth with samples of lunar soil. CNSA has already successfully completed the first two stages.
In 2013, the People's Republic of China sent the Yutu (Jade Hare) spacecraft to the Earth's satellite on board the Chang'e-3 lander. It landed in the Rainbow Bay crater and became the first man-made object to soft-land on the Moon since the Soviet Luna 24 probe in 1976.
The next phase of the program was the first ever landing on the far side of the Moon. For this purpose, on December 7, 2018, the Chang'e-4 probe was launched from the Xichang Cosmodrome. On December 12, it entered lunar orbit, and on January 3 of this year, it made a soft landing in the Pocket Crater, at the northern edge of the South Pole-Aitken Basin, the largest “dent” on the surface of the Moon.
After landing, the descent module and the Yutu-2 lunar rover transmitted the first images of the far side of the Moon to Earth. The devices were then put into sleep mode for seven days, as high temperatures on the lunar surface could damage the electronics. Chang'e 4 is expected to conduct biological experiments on the Moon, including planting seeds of potatoes and other plants.
American astronauts have not been to the moon
Scientists from China made a sensational statement: American astronauts were not on the Moon. A few days ago, scientists from China managed to land their spacecraft on the far side of the Moon.
According to scientists, they conducted detailed studies of the surface and also looked for the place where American astronauts landed. The device took photos of all sites where astronauts were supposed to land within a radius of 50 km. They saw lunar craters and traces of large celestial bodies. The Red Star telescope was sent to the site where, according to official NASA information, there was an area where the Apollo lunar module docked. The Chinese Chang'e-4 spacecraft became the first satellite to make a soft landing on the far side of the Moon.
Currently, Chang'e-4, in accordance with the flight program, is studying the mineral composition and structure of the lunar surface, and also conducts low-frequency radio astronomical observations. Thanks to access to neural networks and modern telecommunications, we became aware of some details of closed correspondence between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the Space Center. J. Kennedy (Florida), concerning the lunar expedition.
The Chinese lunar rover “woke up” and started working
CNA reports this.
On Saturday, the lunar rover was put into so-called “hibernation” to protect it from 200-degree temperature changes. He arrived on the surface of the Earth's satellite as part of the Chang'e-4 mission - the first landing of a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon.
The Chinese lunar rover Yutu-2 began moving on the surface of the far side of the Moon
And already on Friday, the Yutu-2 lunar rover (“Jade Rabbit-2”), which is an integral part of the probe, separated from the landing module and began its movement on the surface of the Moon. The radar and panoramic camera on the lunar rover operate uninterruptedly, transmitting data to Earth via the Queqiao relay satellite.
Chinese lunar rover collides with unknown debris on the Moon
The debris resembles the skin of a spaceship of terrestrial origin.
According to established tradition, we do not ignore the events related to the lunar mission of the Chinese space probe Chang'e-3 and the Yutu lunar rover - the "Jade Rabbit". Among the latest news, information was provided about problems encountered with the device and loss of communication with it. For almost four days no signal came from Yutu, and official Chinese sources had already assigned him the status of “missing in action.” However, some time after the publication of news about the disappearance of the device, the Chinese space agency allegedly confirmed the fact that communications had been restored.
Today, a sensational article appeared in the news of the Xinhua News Agency, which closely follows the PRC's lunar program. It reported on the real reasons for the breakdown of the Jade Rabbit and the unknown debris it found on the surface of the Moon. The information was provided to reporters by a senior official at the Chinese National Space Administration. According to the data received, which the Chinese government deliberately tried to hide from the media, mysterious objects were noticed during the exploration of the lunar surface by the Jade Rabbit.
This information was immediately transmitted to the flight control center and the relevant government structures. Soon, the head of China's national space program, Sun Laiyng, decided to study the found debris in more detail. As the lunar rover approached the mysterious object, the device encountered a part covered with lunar dust, as a result of which the main control module failed. Already in an uncontrolled state, Yutu continued his movement and crashed into a fairly massive structure. From that moment on, the lunar rover no longer sent any signals to Earth.
A new chapter has opened in lunar exploration: China's Chang'e-4 space probe landed safely on the far side of the Moon on its first attempt.
According to the Chinese space agency, at 10:26 am Beijing time (02:26 GMT), the device touched the lunar surface in the area of one of the largest craters in the entire solar system - the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
"This is an important milestone in Chinese space exploration," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's lunar program.
The probe delivered equipment to the Moon, with the help of which a number of experiments and studies will be carried out.
The first photographs from the satellite have already been sent to Earth and published by Chinese state media.
Since direct communication with the probe is impossible, all transmitted images and data are first transmitted to a relay satellite and only then reach Earth.
For the first time in history
Chang'e-4 is a Chinese automatic interplanetary station for studying the Moon and outer space. It consists of a stationary lunar station and a lunar rover.
It has built-in:
- camcorder;
- geological radar for studying lunar soil;
- infrared spectrometer for studying minerals;
- an instrument for studying the effects of solar wind on the lunar surface.
This is the first ever landing on the far side of the Moon and a huge step in the exploration and exploration of space.
On board the Lunokhod, in a sealed container, there are seeds of potatoes, rapeseed, the Arabidopsis plant (arabidopsis) and silkworm larvae. Scientists will test whether a biological system can exist under such conditions.
In recent years, many flights have been made to the Earth's satellite. Most missions were limited to orbit, some flew by.
The last crewed landing on the Moon was made by the Apollo 17 spacecraft in 1972.
The far side of the Moon is often called the dark side, but in reality it is the part of the lunar surface that is not visible from Earth. The Moon and Earth rotate synchronously, so the surface of only one of the satellite hemispheres is visible from the Earth.
The far side of the Moon has more craters and denser soil.
China's plans in space
China aims to become one of the leading space powers along with the United States and Russia.
In 2017, Beijing announced preparations for a manned expedition to the Moon. China plans to begin construction of its own space station next year and complete it by 2022.
The BBC's correspondent in Beijing, John Sudworth, notes that until the successful landing of Chang'e 4, almost nothing was known about the preparations for this mission.
In 2003, China became the third country after the USSR and the USA to independently launch a man into space.
In the summer of 2016, we had to say goodbye to another space explorer - the Yutu lunar rover. Very little is known about it, partly because the PR people of the Chinese Space Agency still need to learn how to work, partly because the device began to have technical problems after a month of operation - no one likes to talk about unsuccessful missions.
The Yutu (“Jade Hare”) lunar rover weighing 120 kg landed on the surface of the Earth’s natural satellite in December 2013 using the 1.2 ton Chang’e 3 landing platform. The technical implementation of the program was very reminiscent of the flights of the Soviet “Luna-17” and “Luna-17”. 21”, with lunar rovers on board.
Flight and landing Change 3 and Yutu
[collapse]
Yutu successfully landed on the surface and turned around so that China could show the world a red flag on the moon.
At this point, the main propaganda task of the mission was completed and information coverage of the program was sharply reduced even before the problems began.
Yutu took a victory lap around the platform and set off to explore the Moon.
Along the way, stops were made at which the manipulator was turned around and spectrometric studies were carried out.
The panoramic camera of the Chang'e 3 platform filmed the surrounding area, the lunar rover, and the Earth in the sky.
When Yutu moved several tens of meters away from the starting point, information about it practically stopped getting into the press. As it became clear from the meager official comments, the lunar rover had problems with the movement system and the thermal control system - the lid of the solar panels did not close at night.
The Lunokhod never traveled again, and no news was published about it, so it was practically forgotten. However, its performance remained intact. About six months after landing, a new panorama of the Moon was published, taken on the way to its eternal resting place.
Photos of the Chinese lunar rover and landing station were posted on the website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Now they have been moved somewhere and the old links give blank pages, but photos and videos can still be found, although the archives included more pictures. In addition, the map of the Moon, compiled from images of two Chinese satellites Chang’e 1 and 2, is not active, and the existing website is malfunctioning.
Communication sessions with Yutu continued for more than two years and stopped only in June 2016.
The Lunokhod had four scientific instruments: a color stereo camera, an infrared camera, an alpha-proton spectrometer on a manipulator, and a ground penetrating radar. All research was aimed at geology: studying the soil, comparing the data obtained with previous studies, including the American Apollo and Soviet “Moons”.
On the Chang'e 3 landing platform there was a color mast camera and an ultraviolet telescope for observing the Earth's exosphere, stars and galaxies. In fact, the station turned out to be the first automatic astronomical observatory on the surface of the Moon.
The Chinese Moon in the photographs of the color cameras of the lunar rover and the landing station turned out to be yellower or browner than the surface that astronauts managed to photograph in the 60s and 70s.
However, if you look at photographs of the Moon from Earth, it is easy to see that the landing took place approximately on the border of two regions, one of which is distinguished by its brown tints.
The landing took place in the Sea of Rains, at a distance of 50 meters from the edge of a 450-meter crater, which was later named Qi Wei. According to Chinese geologists, they were able to study the emissions from this crater, they were convinced of this by the large boulders lying in the surrounding area and the rocky surface.
But scientific publications wrote that the telescope operated for at least 18 months, managing to take up to 10 thousand images every month. Later, Chinese scientists managed to compile a star catalog of 86 thousand stars. There is no information whether the telescope is still working.
China's next goal on the Moon is to repeat a similar study, only this time on the far side of the Moon, where no human-made vehicle has ever landed. The Lunokhod will have to explore the unusual geological formation of the South Pole-Aitken Basin. The Chang'e IV spacecraft will be able to communicate with Earth using a relay satellite, which is expected to be launched in 2018. Accordingly, the lunar rover will depart later.
