What is Chang'e 4?

"Chang'e 4 is a planned Chinese lunar exploration mission,to be launched in December 2018,that will incorporate an orbiter,a robotic lander and a rover.Chang'e 4 will be China's second lunar lander and rover.It was built as a backup to Chang'e 3 as Chang'e 2 was to Chang'e 1.Following the successful landing of the Chang'e 3 mission,the configuration of Chang'e 4 will be adjusted to meet new scientific objectives.Like its predecessors,the spacecraft is named after Chang'e,the Chines Moon Goddess." (Wikipedia-Chang'e 4)

"When China's Chang'e 4 mission reaches the lunar surface in December 2018,it will become the first mission to make a soft landing on the far side of the moon.The combination lander-rover will explore the several aspects of the so-called "dark side",as well as study the universe's radio sky.

A key element of the mission was the May 2018 launch of the Queqiao relay satellite,which will pass information from Chang'e-4 (CE-4) back to earth.Both missions are led by the China National Space Administration (CNSA)." (Space)
