The feat comes just days after Russia crash-landed there, and four years after India's first attempt crashed into the lunar south pole.

Both the US and China also hope to land on the lunar south pole before the end of the decade.

AdvertisementAdvertisementAlso, nobody has ever been to the moon's south pole.
