China's Achievements in Moon Exploration: Historical Perspectives

China's Achievements in Moon Exploration: Historical Perspectives

We retrace the history of China's lunar exploration program—from early launches to the groundbreaking Chang'e-6 Mission to the Moon's far side south pole region to collect the first samples for return to Earth. This is a tale of legends, of dreams, and of cutting-edge engineering.

The Chang'e-6 spacecraft is expected to enter Earth's atmosphere and land at the designated landing site in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

The Chang'e-6 spacecraft is now in the final stage of its complex and challenging 53-day mission. It included landing on the Moon's far side, collecting south polar region samples, ascending, docking, and returning.

In 2020, China's Chang'e-5 was the first lunar sample-return mission since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. The mission made China the third country to return samples from the Moon after the United States and the Soviet Union.
