As people interested in space, we’re a little disappointed because the Artemis Moon missions have been canceled and it’s not known when the launch will be attempted again. While the whole world is now talking about Artemis missions, China has already started its own moon studies.

The Chinese National Space Agency, which we can call China’s NASA, has announced that they will be going on 3 lunar missions in the next 10 years, which they have not mentioned yet. Of course, these lunar missions will be conducted as a competitor to the US. So why does China want to go to the moon?

China has announced it has found a new lunar mineral.

This mission announcement by the China National Space Agency comes just after China’s Chang’e-5 Moon mission. During this lunar mission, China announced that they had discovered a new lunar mineral they named Changesite-(Y). Described as a kind of transparent columnar crystal Changesite-(Y) would contain helium-3, which is thought to be used as a fuel in the future.

In the next 10 years, China will return to the region where they found this lunar mineral. Plans to host 3 more missions. The interesting thing is that the American space agency NASA is targeting the same area on the moon. This is reminiscent of a possible lunar war between the two countries. Let’s see what we will see when the Artemis mission starts successfully…
