Unprecedented, except for this paper[1] from 2010 and the NASA CoNNeCT project[2]. Both of which use the same hardware.

But it is unprecedented in that nobody has landed on the far side of the moon before.

Unprecedented in that it has never been used in space before. Studies and projects yes. NASA is working on their own version for Mars 2020 rover, although the system ( called ALHAT ) hasn't been officially included yet
