China’s Lunar Ambitions 🌕🚀
China is aiming to land astronauts on the Moon by 2030! Recently, the country successfully tested the launch and landing of its new lunar lander Lanyue.
To simulate lunar gravity, engineers used special cables that offset Earth’s pull, allowing the lander to practice touchdowns on an artificial lunar surface.
The Lanyue module is designed not only to carry two astronauts but also to deliver scientific instruments to the Moon’s surface.
