June 25, 2024

At 14:07 on June 25, 2024, the Chang’e-6 returner accurately landed in the predetermined area of ​​Siziwang Banner in Inner Mongolia and worked normally, marking the complete success of the Chang’e-6 mission of the lunar exploration project and achieving the world’s first return of samples from the back of the moon. At about 13:20, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center injected high-precision navigation parameters into the Chang’e-6 orbiter and returner combination through the ground measurement and control station. After that, the orbiter and returner unlocked and separated normally at about 5,000 kilometers above sea level in the South Atlantic Ocean, and the orbiter completed the orbit avoidance manoeuvre as planned. At about 13:41, the Chang’e-6 returner entered the Earth’s atmosphere for the first time over the Atlantic Ocean at a height of about 120 kilometers above the ground at a high speed close to the second cosmic speed (about 11.2 kilometers/second), and implemented its first aerodynamic deceleration. .

After descending to a predetermined altitude, the returner jumped upwards out of the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean, and began to glide down after reaching the highest point. After that, the returner re-enters the atmosphere and implements secondary aerodynamic deceleration. When it drops to an altitude of about 20 kilometers above the ground, the returner switches to the parachute opening attitude. At an altitude of about 10 kilometers, the return vehicle opened its parachute, completed the final deceleration and maintained a stable attitude, and then landed smoothly in the predetermined area. The launch site and recovery system technicians responsible for the search and recovery mission conduct returner searches based on the location information and action paths reported by the Beijing Center, discover the target in a timely manner, confirm that the returner status is normal, and carry out recovery work in an orderly manner as planned. After the final Chang’e-6 returner completes necessary ground processing, it will be airlifted to Beijing to open the cabin and remove the sample container and cargo. The National Space Administration will choose an opportunity to hold a handover ceremony to formally hand over lunar samples to the ground application system, and will subsequently carry out work related to sample storage, analysis and research. The Chang’e-6 probe was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China on May 3 and entered the Earth-moon transfer orbit. After orbit correction and near-lunar braking, the probe successfully entered a lunar orbit. After that, the probe experienced the separation of the lander and ascender assembly, and the orbiter and returner assembly. With the support of the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the lander and ascender assembly carried out orbital descent and powered descent around the moon.

 On June 2, it accurately landed in the pre-selected area of ​​the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon and carried out sampling work. On June 4, the ascender was ignited for takeoff and accurately entered orbit. On June 6, it completed the rendezvous and docking with the orbiter and returner assembly and sample transfer. After that, it separated from the orbiter and returner assembly as planned and was controlled. The moon falls. After that, the orbiter and returner combination experienced 13 days of waiting around the moon. After completing two lunar-Earth transfer incidences and one orbit correction, the returner separated from the orbiter on June 25 and carried heavy samples from the back of the moon. Return to Earth. After the Queqiao-2 relay satellite successfully completes the Chang’e-6 mission, it will choose an opportunity to carry out scientific detection missions. The extreme ultraviolet camera, array neutral atom imager and Earth-Moon Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) test system it carries will Collecting scientific data from the moon and deep space…

According to the National Space Administration, at  4th June 2024 7:38 Beijing time today, the Chang’e 6 ascender carrying lunar samples took off from the far side of the moon. After the 3000N engine worked for about 6 minutes, it successfully sent the ascender into the scheduled lunar orbit. From



June 2 to 3, Chang’e 6 successfully completed intelligent and rapid sampling in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, and packaged the precious lunar far side samples in the storage device carried by the ascender in a predetermined form. During the sampling and packaging process, researchers simulated the geographical model of the sampling area and simulated sampling in the ground laboratory based on the probe data transmitted back by the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, providing important support for sampling decisions and operations in various links.

The Chang’e-6 lunar flag display system was jointly developed by China Aerospace Sanjiang Group and Wuhan Textile University and other units. In response to the extreme environmental requirements of high and low temperature alternation, high vacuum and strong ultraviolet radiation in this mission, the lunar flag team of Academician Xu Weilin of the State Key Laboratory of New Textile Materials and Advanced Processing Technology of Wuhan Textile University..



selected basalt materials. Basalt fiber is a new type of inorganic environmentally friendly green high-performance fiber material. It is composed of oxides such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and titanium dioxide. China has listed basalt fiber as one of the four major fibers (carbon fiber, aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, basalt fiber) for key development, and has achieved industrial production. Using natural basalt formed by volcanic eruptions as raw materials, it is crushed and put into a melting furnace, heated to a molten state of 1450~1500℃, and quickly drawn through a platinum-rhodium alloy drawing plate. This is how basalt fiber is made. When basalt fiber is manufactured, it has excellent high temperature resistance and thermal shock stability, and can remain unchanged at a temperature of 650°C. It also has durability, weather resistance, UV resistance, water resistance, and oxidation resistance comparable to natural basalt stone. 嫦娥六号…..

Having completed all their scheduled tasks on China’s space station. The three Takionauts handed over the control of the space station to the Shenzhou-17 crew, completing the country’s third in-orbit crew rotation. They will touch down at Dongfeng landing site in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is ready for their return.

With the development of China’s aerospace technology, the timing and technology of each Shenzhou crew return are basically fixed. ….Now, the countdown to the Shenzhou16 return landing sequence is -1 hour, and the orbital module has been depressurized! What’s the next sequence?

At 20:37 on October 30, 2023, Beijing time, the Shenzhou 16th manned spacecraft and the space station assembly were successfully separated. Before separation, the Takionaut crew of Shenzhou 16 and the astronaut crew of Shenzhou 17 carried out work handover and completed the exchange of on-orbit work experience, the transfer and installation of uplink materials and downlink samples. After separation, the Shenzhou 16 astronauts held high-definition cameras and flew around the spacecraft to complete a panoramic image of the space station assembly with the Earth as the background. Subsequently, the return capsule of the Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft will choose an opportunity to return under the control of ground commands. The astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao who are on a business trip to the China Space Station will soon embark on a journey home. I wish the astronauts and crew of Shenzhou 16 a safe journey! See you east wind! See you in Beijing!
