- After NASA, ISRO, Chinese space agency’s flight
China is now going to write a history on the moon that no other country could even think about until now. China is “ready” tonight with all systems in place to launch the next phase of its carefully planned lunar exploration program under its Chang’e-6 mission. Mounted atop China’s powerful Long March 5 rocket, the Chang’e 6 mission is scheduled to launch at 7:30pm (AEST) from the Wenchang Space Launch Site on southern Henan Island. It aims to be the first in a competitive field to be involved in several missions exploring the Moon.
Let us tell you that after the first successful landing of Changi 4 in 2019, Changi 6 will be China’s second mission to land on the far side of the Moon. It is the latest mission in China’s successful and long-running lunar exploration program, which aims to prove new technological advances with each mission. This time there is also an inspiring achievement of international cooperation.
China will reach the moon where no one has been
China on Friday successfully launched its first lunar exploration mission aimed at collecting samples from the far side of the moon and bringing them back to Earth for scientific study. The entire mission is 53 days long. According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Chang’e-6 mission will collect samples from the far side of the Moon that would never encounter Earth and return them to Earth. This is the first time in the history of human exploration on the moon.
This is the mission objective
China’s lunar mission Long March-5 was launched using a Y8 rocket. The rocket was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Site located off the coast of China’s Henan Province. According to CNSA, Chang’e-6 has four instruments – “orbiter, lander, ascender and re-entry module”. Through this mission, after collecting dust and rock samples on the Moon, the ascender will deliver them to the orbiter, which will transfer the samples back to the reentry module. After this, this module will bring these samples to Earth.
