Near side or far side

@Rowan Forest: I added far side at that time as I strongly remembered I had read it from multiple sources. When you changed it, I rushed to quote them but didn't find any mention of near or far side of moon. So, I didn't revert it. Here, I got one again. India sends unmanned mission to Moon’s far side If even you aren't sure, I'm wondering if @Ohsin: could help us confirm whether it's landing on near side or far side of the moon.Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 19:08, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aman.kumar.goel: please refer Chandrayaan-2 artical. It is written that it will land on near side of the moon with refrence.Geological Insights into Chandrayaan-2 Landing Site in the Southern High Latitudes of the Moon. I didn't go through this refrence. Please have a look. Brown Chocolate (talk) 19:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aman.kumar.goel: Hello, and thank you for using the talk page instead of resorting to endless reverts. I am aware that some media / reporters have published that the landing would take place on the far side of the Moon. Some have correctly published that it will be on the near side. Having that contradiction, we resort to the primary source: ISRO:

"The following criteria were used to final landing site selection for safe landing.  Slope less than 15 deg.  Boulders less than 0.5 meter.  Crater and boulder distribution.  Sunlit for at least 14 days.  Visible to Earth for Radio communication (i.e. on the near side).  Local terrain features such that they don’t shadow the site for long durations."^[1]

Also, if you plot the official landing coordenates given, you will see they fall within the near side. In addition, it is known the LZ is close to the Manzinus (crater) and if you read that article, it states it is on the near side. I think this should settle the confusion, even for the media :-) Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 19:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
