beijing - China has launched a spaceship towards the back of the moon. It is the first time that a country has started such a mission. The Long Mars 3b missile with the Chang'e 4 probe departed Friday from a start platform in South China Xichang.

According to state media, the Aitken crater on the moon is the purpose of the trip. The crater is named after an American astronomer. A robot will then examine the area around the site.
