Chang’e-6 enters lunar orbit ahead of far side landing attempt
China’s Chang’e-6 spacecraft achieved a significant milestone by entering lunar orbit late Tuesday, marking progress toward its mission of collecting samples from the far side of the moon.
The orbiter successfully executed a braking maneuver, slowing its velocity to be captured by the moon’s gravity, as announced by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
Launched on May 3, the spacecraft embarked on a four-day journey to reach the moon, aiming to collect samples from a region never explored before.
Utilizing its 3,000N engine, the orbiter now orbits in an elliptical path around the moon, with plans to release a cubesat named Icube-Q into lunar orbit before adjusting its orbit for a planned landing, Space News has reported.
