China invites global scientists to study lunar samples, faces obstacle with the US

Reported 9 months ago

China's space officials invite scientists worldwide to apply to study lunar rock samples returned by the Chang'e 6 probe, but highlight obstacles for cooperation with the US due to the Wolf Amendment. While the US ban hinders direct bilateral cooperation, China remains open to collaborating with scientists from other countries like the European Space Agency, France, Italy, and Pakistan. Chinese officials did not disclose the number of samples gathered or any findings, urging patience for upcoming revelations, while also hinting at future missions such as Chang'e 7 to explore resources on the moon's South Pole and Tianwen-3 for a Mars sample return mission.
