Last week, China revealed their plan to visit to the darker side of moon by 2018. According to the news report, China has launched Chang'E-4 lunar probe, an updated version of Chang'E-3 lunar probe, which they send on the moon in 2013.
Tech In Asia has showed in their reports the reasons why one should be careful about this latest news of lunar rover of China. The dark side of moon is facing away from the earth, and there are no human beings or robots that were sent to the dark side of the moon just yet. Recently, according to the publication, China will visit the darker side of the moon by 2018.
As per Business Insider, the geological structure of the moon's darker side is not yet known. It is said that what people normally see is Maria, which has large smooth plains; however, according to research, the moon's darker side is rough enough with a lot of holes and bumps, wherein humans or even robots will have difficult in landing. So far, the close up landscape comes to view by the Chinese probe.
Connection to the darker side is very hard as the communication with this side is much difficult. The direct satellite communication or radio communication is out of the question from this side, reported by Tech In Asia.
The lunar surface of the darker side is dangerous enough due to the deep penetrated terrain, and if China lands their probe on this side, the idea of this side will be cleared a lots of quarries.
Expert says that the darker part of the moon contains an immense amount of Helium -3 due to the side facing the sun. According to reports, if Chinese probe will be successful in finding out the reality of the moon's darker side, it will definitely be great news as Helium-3 could be used as a great source of fuel by human kind.
