China's lunar mission Chang E-6 is now returning to Earth. As soon as the ascender lands on Earth, Beijing will create history. Let us tell you that the ascender is returning to Earth with soil and rock samples. The ascender is a device that has returned to its orbit from the surface of the Moon and is now returning to Earth with samples from there.
It is worth noting that China's space agency CNSA said that this spacecraft was launched last month. Which landed on the dark side of the moon two days ago i.e. on June 2. Lunar mission Chang E-6 successfully landed on the south pole of the moon. China's lunar landing site is a remote area of the moon. With this mission, China has taken another big leap in the space sector. Citing China's space agency, National Space Administration, media reports said that Chang E-6 landed in the Aitken Basin crater on the south pole of the moon. This crater is the largest crater ever.
The Chinese aircraft will return on June 25
Now the ascender is returning to Earth with soil and rock samples. The China Space Agency said that the ascender carrying the sample from Chang'e-6 will land in the desert of China's Inner Mongolia region around June 25. The place where this spacecraft landed on the moon has a temperature in minus. This will be the first time in the world when a country will return to Earth with a sample from the dark side of China.
the sun never shines
China's Chang'e 4 mission landed on the surface of the moon for the first time in 2019. Now China will also bring about two kilograms of samples from the surface of the moon through the Chang'e 6 mission. A mechanical arm has been installed in the Chang'e 6 lander to drill and then take samples. The Chinese mission is for 53 days and was launched on May 3. The Chinese mission is also special in this sense because it has landed on that part of the moon, which is always farthest from the Earth and on which sunlight never falls. In such a situation, samples from this area are expected to provide scientifically important information.
China will send manned mission to the Moon by 2030
Examination of the samples could reveal how the moon was formed. Under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, China's space program is progressing rapidly and is trying to compete with the US and Russia. The US has warned that China's space program may be for military purposes. China aims to send a manned mission to the moon by 2030. The US is also planning to send a manned mission to the moon again in 2026.
