Exciting news from space! 🌍 Chinese scientists at the Chinese Lunar Sample Laboratory are all set to study the world’s first lunar samples from the moon's far side. These unique samples were collected during the Chang'e-6 mission and were successfully transferred to a re-entry vehicle on Thursday, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
The ascender of the Chang'e-6 lunar probe, carrying the precious moon samples, performed an unmanned rendezvous and docking with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit. This marks the second time China has achieved this impressive maneuver, following the groundbreaking success of the Chang'e-5 mission in 2020. 🚀✨
The lunar laboratory, located in Beijing and managed by the National Astronomical Observatories (NAOC), is specially equipped to handle these samples. It features a room for unsealing the samples, a middle room for those collected by the Chang'e-5 probe, and an innermost room reserved for the new samples from Chang'e-6. This advanced setup ensures that scientists can thoroughly analyze and preserve these extraterrestrial materials for groundbreaking research.
