China responded to the ship Hang Nga to the Dark Moon in 2018

China is planning to become the first country to send the spacecraft to the dark areas of the Moon, an area that cannot be seen directly from the Earth and has never been explored.

Hang Nga named after the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology will land in the dark on Earth's natural satellite in 2018, Yahoo reported.

" Hang Nga 4 ship will land in the dark part of the Moon , conduct on-site surveys and exploration," Xinhua quoted Liu Jizhong, head of China's moon exploration program.

"The implementation of the Hang Nga 4 project will help China jump to a leading position in the field of lunar exploration , " Liu said.

In 2013, China brought the self-propelled Rabbit Jade probe to the Moon. Chinese officials also plan to build the Moon orbit space station by 2020 and bring people up here.

Clive Neal, president of the Lunar Exploration Research Organization, affiliated with the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), confirmed that Hang Nga 4 is the first dark-moon exploration project in history. . According to Neal, it is difficult to land in this area due to the presence of the largest solar system pit named the South Pole - Aitken . The basin is nearly 2,500 km deep, 13 km deep and can reveal the material of the Moon's coating.
