Although NASA financing is impossible, this study continues through internal support and cooperation with scientists from the University of Hong Kong and the State University of San Francisco.
Currently, the process is still in the early stages, including the signing of a loan agreement between the groan Brook and CNSA so that you can send a sample.
The CNSA decision to provide a selection of US scientists is quite rare, given the geopolitical tension, which limits the direct interaction between the scientific communities of the two countries, especially in the field of space.
The Mission of Chang’e-5 managed to collect about 1.7 kilograms of material from the surface of the moon, which made it the return of the sample of the first month after the mission of the Soviet Union in 1976.
It is believed that these samples come from areas that have never been studied by the previous mission, which provides great potential for new discoveries.
