Apparently landing is scheduled at 00:00 UTC June 2 which is about 9 hours from now. So exciting!

Chang'e 6 has successfully landed on the far side of the moon, in the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
Following the landing, the module will use the Queqiao-2 satellite to establish communication with Earth.

Ground control will begin operations such as deploying the solar panels and conducting various status checks and configurations.

These operations will last for approximately two days.
