China's Chang'e-6 moon mission enters lunar orbit

[masoncheung]

During interviews over the past couple of days, the ground commander for China's lunar mission mentioned, "We haven't found, uh, that, uh, that, uh, " referring to the Apollo crater. Then, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. While he didn't outright say that the first human moon landing was fake, anyone with half a brain knows what he was getting at.

China has scanned the moon, found no USA flag on the moon.😂

China moon or mar landing and sample return technology sound like piece of cake for Chinese scientist. cos every year there is roughly 7 million new commer learning calculus, linear algebra and physics.

Congratulations so far on this mission, looking forward to the landing. All the best from the UK

I'm from India 🇮🇳
I worked on the French instrument that they are carrying on Chang 'e 6 spacecraft ❤
So happy to see the progress and waiting for the return Lunar Sample

Don't care what country it is. We should all be cooperating in space. It's a common area where we can all cooperate and be unified..

Well done china 👍👍👍 Respect from Pakistan. Super Power 💪💪💪 Inshallah

And the lander has made a soft landing on the far side of the moon. Well done and congratulations! Wishing you every success in all the tasks ahead!

During the live broadcast of the Chang'e-6 mission on China Central Television, the chief designer of Chang'e-6 accidentally discussed with the host that "We just couldn't find the basin where the American Apollo had landed back then..." and suddenly stopped talking.

Fact: the only way NASA can go to the moon for REAL is asking CHINA for a ride when China go to the moon 😮

This is so wonderful the cooperation of scientists between countries despite politics. Thank you 🌿

So I have a question for all the flat earthers out there, if you claim we have never been to space and are incapable of leaving the earth, and all space travel and everything is a hoax devised by NASA, are you implying that NASA controls the Chinese space agency too? Or that they are working together? What's your explanation for when other countries other than the United States documents their space exploration?

The Chang'e 6 probe conducted a braking maneuver as it approached the lunar surface and then successfully entered a lunar orbit.
The 8.35-metric-ton Chang'e 6 had flown nearly 113 hours along an Earth-moon transfer trajectory.
A key orbital control measure for any lunar mission, the braking operation reduces the spacecraft's speed to make sure it can be captured by the moon's gravitational field rather than accidentally flying past it.
The Chang'e 6 spacecraft consists of four components- an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a reentry capsule.
Chang’e 6 will adjust its orbital altitude and inclination before splitting into two parts. The orbiter and reentry capsule will remain in orbit, while the lander-ascender combination will start its approach to the lunar surface.
The lander-ascender combination will make a soft landing in the South Pole-Aitken Basin and will then start using a drill and a mechanical arm to gather surface and underground samples.
Up to 2 kilograms of stones and soil will be collected and packed in a vacuum-sealed metal container inside the ascender. After the collection operation is completed, the engines of the ascender will elevate it to lunar orbit for docking with the reentry capsule and transfer of the container.
The ascender will then undock, and the combination of orbiter and reentry capsule will leave lunar orbit and return to the Earth's orbit, where they will break up. The reentry capsule will conduct a host of complicated maneuvers to land at the Siziwang Banner Landing Site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
It is a difficult operation with many uncertainties landing Chang’e 6 on the moon and bringing back sample of moon soil and rock back to earth.
Well done.

The moon property belongs to the world, no matter who reached onto it first or second, even the third, the exploring purpose has to be maintaining the peaceful missions of human on earth, regardless the nationalities. Sharing is the key word here for the man-kind.

so no actual images only computer generated images?

[brujosfreeman]

merci pour ces belles images 3D
c'est pour quant que vous nous l'illustrez en version animé ?

[thesink]

China will be on moon before USA, i think. Lets see if the lander goes well and can return too ....

[HyperpigGaming]

It didn't find any US flag at Apollo crater 😊😊

[baasheep]

That’s is five countries working together in this mission, France Pakistan Italian ….
