United Nations Supports China's International Partnerships for Space Exploration
Aarti Holla-Maini, director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), commends China's open attitude demonstrated through its Chang'e-6 Moon Mission in 2024. She emphasizes that such international cooperation is fundamental to advancing global space exploration.
China's Chang'e-6 Moon Mission carried scientific payloads from France, Italy, Sweden, and Pakistan, including the French radon gas detector (CNES), the European Space Agency/Swedish ion analyzer, and the Italian Space Agency's laser corner reflector (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana).
The Chang'e-6 probe was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province on May 3, 2024. It touched down on the far side of the Moon on June 2. During its two-day stay, Chang'e-6 used a scoop and drill, collecting nearly 2 kilograms of lunar material. On June 25, its returner brought back the samples and made a landing in north China.
Chang'e-6 successfully deployed Pakistan's ICUBE-Q satellite, releasing it into lunar orbit on May 8, 2024. The 15.4-pound (7 kilogram) small satellite captured images of the Moon and Sun and collected magnetic field data.
