It aimed at making breakthroughs in key technologies, the official Xinhua news agency previously reported. <\/p>\n<p>It was set to explore permanently shadowed craters on the moon and conduct environmental and resource surveys of the lunar south pole, the Xinhua report said, citing the space agency.<\/p>\n<p>Chang&#8217;e refers to a Chinese moon goddess. The Chang&#8217;e-6 probe returned to Earth in 2024 with rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon in a world first.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s mission was planned as the country <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nasa-jared-isaacman-space-race-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">vies with the United States<\/a><\/span> to land astronauts on the moon and secure a near-permanent presence on its surface. In June, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the U.S. was &#8220;very much in a space race&#8221; against China, with both nations aiming to send astronauts \u2014 or, in China&#8217;s case, &#8220;taikonauts&#8221; \u2014 to the moon in the next few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In April, the crew of NASA&#8217;s Artemis II mission became the first humans to travel around the moon in more than half a century. They are <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-artemis-ii-crew-space-medal\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">set to receive<\/a><\/span> the
