The Chinese probe begins to explore the dark side of the moon

The Chinese Space Agency said Friday that its probe, which had landed on the dark side of the moon two days ago, had begun to explore this side of the moon.
Beijing hailed what he described as "a major step for the Chinese people".
The probe, known as Yoto II, began moving on the moon 12 hours after the historical landing of the Chang & # 39; e 4 probe on the far side of the moon.
The agency has published a photograph of the Chang A4 showing the traces of the small probe when it came out of the spacecraft. The agency did not specify until where the robot had passed.

"Even though it's only a small step for the probe, I think it's a big step for the Chinese people," said Wu Weirn, chief engineer of the moon exploration program in China, in an interview on state television.
This is the second time China sends a vehicle to explore the moon after the "Yoto" probe in 2013, which has continued to run for 31 months on the apparent side of the moon.
The new probe will conduct studies on low waves, mineral resources, and the potential for growing tomatoes and other plant species.
