China experimented with technology to collect soil samples from the Moon

China recently handed over a new spacecraft, expected to be put into orbit this year, to test technologies for the mission to collect soil samples from the Moon.

The Moon orbiter spacecraft was transferred to the Xuchang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province on August 10. As planned, it will be launched into orbit by the end of this year.

After successfully launching, the ship will reach the speed of the universe (the speed at which an object needs to move in a circular orbit near the surface of an object, or escape the gravitational field of another object) and onto the Face. Moon. It will separate a landing module and use the satellite's gravity to return to Earth. The most important phase of this mission will be carried out after the ship returns. At this time, the device returned to Earth will be checked when gradually lowering the height.

According to RT, the mission is to test the technology applied to the Hang Nga 5 moon probe, scheduled to launch into orbit in 2017. Hang Nga 5's mission is to collect soil samples on the Moon and send About Earth.

The periods that have been done under the Hang Nga program include mapping the surface of the Moon and landing the self-propelled Rabbit Ngoc device last year. Previously, China had vowed to collect land samples from the Moon in 2017 after the mission was successful.

China used to have three spacecraft carrying out Moon missions as Hang Nga 1, Hang Nga 2 and Hang Nga 3 in 2007, 2010 and 2013.
