CTOnews.com September 9 news, according to CNNC official WeChat news, September 9, coincides with the Chinese traditional festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Space Administration and the State Atomic Energy Agency jointly released in Beijing Chang'e 5 lunar sample research results: CNNC Nuclear Industry Beijing Geological Research Institute discovered a new mineral in lunar sample research, which is named Chang'e stone. It has been approved by the Committee for New Mineral Classification and Nomenclature (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Society (IMA).

According to reports, Chang'e stone is a columnar crystal, is a new phosphate, is the sixth new mineral discovered on the moon, its diameter is less than the average human hair 1max 10.

It is reported that this is the first time that China has discovered new lunar minerals, and it is also a major breakthrough in the study of celestial mineralogy in China, making China the third country in the world to discover new lunar minerals. China has contributed to the peaceful use and cooperative development of space resources!

In addition, at the Chang'e-5 lunar sample research meeting, CNNC also released another lunar sample research result: China successfully obtained the content and extraction parameters of helium-3, a future fusion energy resource in Chang'e-5 lunar soil for the first time, which provides basic scientific data for the evaluation and development of lunar resources in China.

CTOnews.com learned that on December 17, 2020, China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully returned to Earth with 1731 grams of lunar "native products". This was the third country to successfully collect lunar soil more than 40 years later. Lunar research is an important basic frontier scientific research. To carry out the material composition and nuclear science research of lunar soil and lunar rock samples and evaluate the utilization prospect of lunar nuclear energy resources is one of the scientific strategic goals of China's lunar exploration project, in which the application of nuclear science and technology plays an important role.
