The Chang’e 4 robotic probe, which consists of an unmovable lander and the Yutu 2 rover, was lifted atop a Long March 3B rocket in December 2018 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province, marking the country’s fourth lunar exploration and the world’s first expedition to the far side of the moon, which never faces Earth.
嫦娥四号探测器包含一个固定的的着陆器和玉兔2号，于2018年12月被长征3B运载火箭从四川西昌卫星发射中心送上太空。实现了我国第四次月球探索和世界第一次对月球背面的探索。
The probe made a soft landing on the far side on Jan 3 and then released the Yutu 2 to roam and survey the landing site in the South Pole-Aitken basin, the largest and deepest known basin in the solar system.
探测器于1月3日在月球背面软着陆，然后释放了“玉兔2号”，对其在南极艾特肯盆地的着陆点进行漫游和勘测。艾特肯盆地是太阳系已知的最大、最深的盆地。
China’s next lunar probe, Chang’e 5, will weigh about 8.2 metric tons and will be the largest and heaviest lunar probe ever built by the country.
中国的下个月球探测器，嫦娥五号，将达到大约8.2吨重，同时也是我国迄今为止制造的最大和最重的月球探测器。
