Moreover, the far side\u2019s lack of direct communication with Earth adds another layer of complexity to any mission. <\/p>\n<p>China National Space Administration officials said the Chang\u2019e-6 probe landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin crater. The area was formed over 4 billion years ago and is believed to be the moon\u2019s oldest crater. It has a diameter of approximately 1,500 miles and is about eight miles deep.

The spacecraft departed early Tuesday morning to return to Earth. The objects collected on the moon will be relocated to a capsule on the spacecraft. The capsule will eventually be deployed upon entering Earth\u2019s atmosphere and is expected to touch down somewhere in China\u2019s Inner Mongolia desert toward the end of June, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s lunar visit was the sixth mission by the country\u2019s Chang\u2019e moon exploration program.
