China is going to send a robotic spacecraft to the moon in the coming days, which will deliver payloads from various countries including Pakistan to the moon, this mission will pave the way for Chinese crew to land on the moon and build a base on the lunar south pole.
China launched its first mission in 2007, “Chang Yi”, named following the Chinese mythological goddess of the moon. .
In 2020, China received samples from close proximity to Chance for the first time in more than four decades, and now confirmed for the first time that it can safely return an unmanned spacecraft to Earth from the lunar surface.
However, Beijing says it is committed to cooperating with all nations to build a common future.
Chang’e 6 will carry payloads from China, France, Italy, Sweden and Pakistan and Chang’e 7 will carry payloads from Russia, Switzerland and Thailand.
NASA is prohibited by US law from directly or indirectly cooperating with China.
Under the NASA-led Artemis program, American astronauts will land near the South Pole in 2026, marking the first humans on the moon since 1972.
Chang’e 6 will attempt to land on the northeast side of the vast South Pole Autkin Basin, the oldest crater in the Solar System.
The most southern landing to date was made in February by IM-1, a joint mission between NASA and Texas-based private firm Intuitive Machines.
After touchdown at Malapert A, an area near the South Pole that was believed to be relatively flat, the spacecraft veered off course due to a number of technical problems, the high risk of a lunar landing. Reflects the nature of
