The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense 2 says the transition was made while the probe transited 3 the dark side of the moon at 9:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Beijing time. The transition took around four minutes. Chang’e-3 will now prepare for a soft-landing on the moon’s surface. T
he probe, which is carrying the moon rover "Yutu", was successfully launched on December the 2nd, from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The moon landing is set to take place around mid-December, the first time a Chinese spacecraft has made a soft landing on a non-earth surface.

China's lunar probe Chang'e-3 is expected to land on Sinus Iridum of the moon in mid-December.
