Chinese satellite-retransalator “Zuezia-2” (forty Most-2), designed to ensure communication between the reverse side of the moon and earth, performed the procedure for near-moon inhibition and reached near-moon orbit. This was reported in the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA).
Cuetsyao-2 satellite-retransaway flew about 112 hours towards the Moon and began to make near-moon braking at a distance of about 440 km from the surface of the Earth’s natural satellite.

A satellite developed by the Chinese Academy of Space Technologies (CAST) was built on the basis of the CAST2000 satellite platform
A device weighing about 1.2 tons has two parabolic antennas with a diameter of 4.2 and 0.6 meters, one of which is used to communicate with research devices on the moon, and the other to transfer data to Earth.
The satellite is primarily intended to ensure communication with the Lunar Sound “Chan-6”, which is planned to be launched this year to collect samples of rocks and soil on the dark side of the moon. It will be used later in other intelligence missions.
China plans to continue research on the moon, having launched new missions in the coming years. The country intends to organize manned expeditions to the moon in the 2030s.
