Mid-Autumn Festival, the lunar exploration plan is here! Chang'e 6 will be launched around 2024

The National Space Administration announced on September 29 that the Chang'e-6 mission of the lunar exploration project is currently being developed as planned, and is scheduled to be launched around 2024 .

According to the arrangement, the Chang'e-6 mission will carry out sampling and return from the far side of the moon . So far, the 10 lunar sampling and return missions carried out by humans have all been on the near side of the moon. The far side of the moon is older than the near side of the moon, and there is the Aitken Basin, one of the three major lunar bodies, which has important scientific research value. The pre-selected landing area for the Chang'e-6 mission is located in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon , in order to discover and collect lunar samples of different regions and ages, and enhance human understanding of the moon.

It is reported that in order to successfully complete the communication between the spacecraft on the back of the moon and the earth, China's newly developed Queqiao-2 relay communication satellite is scheduled to be launched in the first half of 2024. In terms of international cooperation, the Chang'e-6 mission carried payloads and satellite projects from four countries, including France's radon detector, ESA's negative ion detector, Italy's laser corner reflector, and Pakistan's CubeSat. At the same time, China is accelerating the promotion of the International Lunar Research Station Big Science Project, hoping that more international partners will join in to jointly expand the territory of human cognition and contribute to the peaceful use of space and the promotion of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
