The reverse side of the Chinese Moon
American Badabum eclipsed other interesting news that came to us from the moon. Even further. Chinese experimental spacecraft sent great pictures of the Moon and the Earth.
The most luxurious frame - Land and reverse side of the moon. Dark spots visible on the photo in the center of the lunar disk - Sea of Moscow. Dark crater at the bottom of the disc, with the bright spot in the center - the crater Tsiolkovsky. Bright crater on the left side of the moon observed - Giordano Bruno, he is the only of these objects are sometimes seen from Earth.
The spacecraft was launched from Earth on October 23. Leaving Earth orbit, he made the first shot, looking at his home planet.

October 28, flying several thousand kilometers above the lunar surface, the satellite took another shot.
The objectives of this run - not a simple photograph. This expedition - development of the technology to return to Earth with the capsule lunar orbit. Today obletnaya operation does not involve landing on the moon, and is similar to the Soviet flights series "Probe", which flew to the Moon turtle.
The satellite is fixed landing capsule, which should survive the collision with the Earth's atmosphere to escape velocity, and soft landing in China.
The current mission is to pilot a precursor to a more complex program delivery of soil from the surface of the moon, which should be done spacecraft Chang'e-5.
However, one can not but note that the descent capsule form is almost identical to the form of descent capsule spacecraft "Soyuz" and the Shenzhou.
That is to say not only worked through the capsule to deliver the soil, but also a small copy of the manned spacecraft. Curious, was there anyone on board, turtles are the same or even some livestock. After landing, perhaps, know.

Return capsule is expected by November 1. We will monitor the flight.
