It aims to explore China’s south pole and to collect critical information for the future International Moon Research Station (ILRS). Chang’e 8 New participants were added to his duty. M.E.T.U (Middle East Technical University/ Middle East Technical University), Zhejiang university ve STAR.VISION He joined China’s 8 tasks in Chang.

METU was included in China’s critical moon mission

In a statement, METU, Zhejiang University and Star.vision in partnership with the Moon in 2028, the Moon is planned to land in China’s Chang-8 mission selected for the mission Micro-Co-Co-Robot Solution developed. Star.Vision, approved by the Chinese National Space Administration, has developed a jointly-backed micro-casual robot solution with Zhejiang University and Middle East Technical University as the first private Chinese initiative to participate in the Moon Discovery program. With the task of Change-8 within the scope of partnership two smart moon robots will be sent to the surface.

In the 2030s, China relies on the 8 mission to Chang as part of the plan to build the International Moon Research Station (ILRS). Change will follow up in the footsteps of the 7, 2026 Change 7 mission and will have new experiments such as on -site resource use that may involve the applicability of 3D print on the surface of the moon. The mission will serve as the basis of a monthly research station with a larger -scale robotic and crew in the next decade.

Türkiye had applied to ILRS

Last year, the Russian state media reported that Turkey has applied to participate in the ILRS program -led ILRS program. ILRS is a Moon Base Project directed by the National Space Administration (CNSA). ILRS will carry out multi -disciplined and multi -purpose scientific research activities, including discovery and use, lunar -based observation, basic scientific experiment and technical verification and long -term autonomous operation, and will serve as a comprehensive scientific experimental base built on the moon surface or moon orbit.

ILRS is planned to be completed by 2035 and will be completely activated in 2036. The program is divided into 3 stages; Discovery, construction and use. As of the moment, the discovery phase is made. The discovery process is expected to be completed in 2028 with Chang-E 8.
