The samples will be much more valuable."

Storyline


The Phase-4 of China's lunar exploration program, which obtained state approval at the end of 2021, has been going on smoothly, according to Liu Jizhong, director of Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center under China National Space Administration.

The fourth phase of the country's lunar exploration program consists of three missions, namely the Chang'e-6, Chang'e-7, and Chang'e-8 missions, and will be implemented in the following 10 years.

As a backup of the Chang'e-5 probe, the Chang'e-6 will endeavor to retrieve samples from the far side of the moon and return them to the Earth.

"The production of the Chang'e-6 probe has almost been completed. To better understand the Moon and given that the Chang'e-4 went to the far side of the Moon, we, after discussion among engineers and scientists, decided to have the Chang'e-6 probe to retrieve samples from the far side of the moon and return them to Earth. The samples will be much more valuable," said Liu.

Liu also said the Phase-4 of China's lunar exploration program progresses smoothly, and the Chang'e-7 probe, which is under research, will probe the south pole of the Moon and help with the building of a basic structure of a lunar research station.

"The goal of these missions is to lay a foundation for the lunar research station. So there are a lot technological issues to be tackled and it is a tough challenge to explore the energy on the Moon. However, with the foundation we've built up and an excellent team, I believe we will succeed," said Liu.

China's has completed the three-step lunar exploration program since the country's lunar exploration mission was set up in 2004.

China's first lunar probe, the Chang'e-1, was launched on Oct. 24, 2007. It gathered a huge amount of data, marking the first step into China's ambitious three-step moon mission.

The Chang'e-2 probe, which was launched in 2010, traveled more than 100 million kilometers from Earth, setting a record for the longest flight by a Chinese spacecraft.

In 2013, the Chang'e-3 became China's first spacecraft to soft-land on the Moon and the Yutu rover drove on the Moon.

In 2018, the Chang'e-4 landed on the far side of the Moon, the first spacecraft to do so and another human endeavor to learn more about the Moon.

The Change-5 probe landed on the Earth with 1,731 grams of samples from the Moon in 2020, marking the completion of China's first attempt to retrieve and return samples from the Moon. This also marks the end of the China's three-step lunar exploration mission.
