The Chang'e-6 module landed on Sunday in the Moon's immense South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the solar system's largest known impact craters

The samples collected by the Apollo missions from the moon's near side suggested the South-Pole Aitken Basin on the far side was caused by an epoch of extremely heavy bombardment of the solar system, Earth and moon

Despite initial issues, the probe transmitted images to Earth, revealing the presence of mantle material in nearby lunar rocks

SpaceX plans a 12:57 a.m. (0557 GMT) launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Centre, with Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander landing on the Moon on February 22

JAXA emphasizes that its high-precision technology will be a valuable tool in future exploration of the hilly moon poles

The H-IIA rocket carrying the lander launched off in September from the southern island of Tanegashima
