Israel hopes to become the fourth country to land a mission on the the moon when it launches Beresheet. It works like this: An ultra-wideband nanosecond impulse is produced by a transmitter, and then sent through the transmitting antenna down to lunar surface. The echo signal from the underground target is received by the receiving antenna, amplified in the receiver and then restored as a data record.

According to a story earlier this year by China's state-run Xinhua news agency , Chang'e 4 will also carry a tin containing seeds of potato and arabidopsis, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard. It may also tote silkworm eggs.
This "lunar mini biosphere" experiment was designed by 28 Chinese universities, led by southwest China's Chongqing University. The cylindrical tin, made from special aluminum alloy materials, weighs roughly 6.
The SPA basin is the largest and oldest impact basin of the moon. Although the terrain is low, this region is not filled with mare basalts as other moon basins are, Jia and colleagues noted, suggesting that it may have a special thermal history and unique evolution features. Studying the materials in the region could therefore help reveal the composition of the crust and even the mantle of the moon, the researchers wrote.
