嫦娥六号; Change 6 planned to be launched around 2024 Queqiao 2 is planned to be launched in the first half of 2024 The China National Space Administration reported on the 29th September 2023 that currently, the development work of the lunar exploration project Chang’e-6 mission is being carried out as planned, and the plan It will be launched around 2024.
According to arrangements, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry out sample returns from the far side of the moon. The 10 lunar sampling returns that humans have carried out so far are all located on the front side of the moon. The far side of the moon is generally older than the front side of the moon, and there is the Aitken Basin, one of the three major lunar terrestrial bodies, which has important scientific research value. The pre-selected landing area for the Chang’e-6 mission is located in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, with a view to discovering and collecting lunar samples from different regions and ages to enhance human understanding of the moon.
