competition between China and India on the moon
According to a leading Chinese scientist, China’s Chang’e-6 lander will arrive reach the south pole of the moon before India’s Chandrayaan-3 in 2024.
Early in 2024, it announced, a satellite to relay communications to and from the moon, known as Queqiao 2, or Magpie BridgSome analysts claimed that China has a possibility to be a pioneer in this field and that, despite some prior reports, India cannot credibly claim to have reached the lunar south pole.
The CNSA predicted that Chang’e-6 will be launched in 2025 last year. Earlier this year, it altered the deadline to be between 2024 and 2025; as of right moment, the new goal is for 2019.
The most recent announcement from the CNSA fell on the mid-autumn festival, which was inspired by Chang’e, the moon goddess, in Chinese mythology.
There are two things regarding India’s moon lander that need to be made clear. First, the landing position is incorrectly described. In a recent interview with the China Science Daily, Ouyang stated that “second, people are overly hopeful about the occurrence of ‘water ice’ near the south pole.
It is incorrect to claim that India has reached the south pole or is even near to it, according to Chandrayaan-3, which is at least 619 km from the south polar region of the moon.
