Chang'e 6 will land on and bring back lunar samples from the far side of the moon at location 43.0°S 154.0°W, near the southern edge of the Apollo crater.
There is interest in exploring this south polar region due to the possibility of water ice. Also, the region could contain material ejected from the lunar mantle, which can provide insights into the history of the Earth-moon system.
