☆ Chinese scientists use lunar soil to produce water, state media reports

Chinese scientists have discovered a “brand-new method” of producing large quantities of water using lunar soil brought back from a 2020 expedition, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Thursday. Vials of lunar soil brought back from the moon by China's Chang'e-5 probe in Beijing, on Aug. 26, 2021. China hopes that recent and future lunar expeditions will set the foundations to build the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), an initiative it is co-leading with Russia. The announcement of the discovery comes at a time when Chinese scientists are already conducting experiments on lunar samples brought back in June by the Chang’e-6 mission. The importance of lunar water goes beyond making permanent human presence viable.

☆ China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe returns with first-ever samples from far side of the moon

The Chang'e-6 probe being successfully launched from China's Wenchang Spaceport in Wenchang, Hainan Province, China, on May 3, 2024. China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe returned to Earth on Tuesday, bringing back the first-ever samples from the unexplored far side of the moon. Chang'e-6 returned to Earth with soil collected from the South Pole-Aitken Basin — a massive crater in the lunar hemisphere that always faces away from Earth. In total, Chang'e-6 mission took 53 days from its May 3 departure from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan, an island off China's south coast. The far side of the moon was first captured in images in 1959 by the Soviet Luna 3 spacecraft.

China is gearing up to launch a lunar lander within the next few months. The news comes days after a fuel leak doomed a US space mission to the lunar surface. The Chinese mission will attempt the first-ever sample collection from the far side of the moon.

☆ China wants to start using moon soil to build lunar bases as soon as this decade

BEIJING, April 12 (Reuters) - China wants to start building a lunar base using soil from the moon in five years, Chinese media reported, with the ambitious plan kicking off as soon as this decade. Ding Lieyun, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said a team is designing a robot named "Chinese Super Masons" to make bricks out of lunar soil, according to Changjiang Daily. China previously retrieved soil samples from the near side of the moon with its Chang'e-5 mission in 2020, state media reported. The country has stated that it wants its astronauts to stay on the moon for long periods once it establishes a lunar research station.

☆ The moon could have up to 297 billion tons of water stored in tiny glass beads on its surface, scientists say
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Researchers say glass beads found on the moon's surface could contain billions of tons of water. The scientists say the water was created from solar winds, which blow hydrogen — one of the two elements in water — onto the lunar surface. The glass beads themselves form when small meteorites hit the surface of the moon and melt with material on the surface, per the study. Hu said the water extracted from the glass beads shows promise that it could be used in future lunar missions. NASA also plans to once again send astronauts to the Moon in 2025, 50 years after man last set foot on the lunar surface.
☆ China plans three missions to the Moon after discovering a new lunar mineral that may be a future energy source
  + stars: | 2022-09-11 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
China aims to launch three moon missions over the next decade as part of its Chang'e lunar program. China's National Space Administration won approval for the missions after it found a new mineral. The mineral, Changesite-(Y), could be a future source of energy and was found in lunar samples. It comes a day after China became the third country to discover a new lunar mineral, which it called Changesite-(Y), according to Chinese state-controlled newspaper the Global Times. The discovery may put more pressure on the US to ramp up its efforts after its Artemis I moon mission was postponed for a second time.
