This is an important moment destined to be recorded in the history of human lunar exploration!
At 14:07 on June 25th, Chang'e-6 successfully returned to Earth with a sample from the far side of the moon. It took 53 days and 380000 kilometers of space travel, setting a new world record for China's aerospace industry.
From the first lunar soft landing achieved by Chang'e-4 to the first lunar back sampling and return achieved by Chang'e-6; From successfully completing the three-step goal of "orbiting, landing, and returning" to the comprehensive promotion of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, China's deep space exploration has taken further steps and become more solid.
For thousands of years, we have looked at the moon to express our feelings, only seeing the front side of the moon. The side that always backs away from us, mysterious and ancient.
Since the 1950s, humans have conducted more than 100 lunar explorations and 10 frontal sampling returns, but there are still many doubts about the origin and evolution of the moon. The moon's back, which is rarely touched upon, may harbor new knowledge.
Looking back, we can see more clearly the milestone significance of Chang'e-6, which carries on the past and sets the stage for the future.
In January 2019, Chang'e-4 broke through the world problem of lunar back landing; In December 2020, Chang'e-5 successfully retrieved the "youngest" lunar soil from the northern hemisphere on the far side of the moon.
The three-step plan of "orbiting, falling, and returning" that took 17 years for the lunar exploration project has been completed as scheduled, giving the Chinese people the confidence and confidence to conduct the first lunar backside sampling in the southern hemisphere of the far side of the moon.
In September 2021, the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project was launched and implemented, with the main goal of building the basic model of an international lunar research station.
To do things that have not been done before is to see scenery that has not been seen before.
