The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is set to make Chang'e-6 lunar soil samples available to scientists worldwide, according to Bian Zhigang, vice administrator of the CNSA. In an interview with CGTN earlier this week, Bian emphasized that the CNSA will continue to welcome global scientists in the future.
\"This is our policy,\" Bian stated.
He highlighted that international cooperation in space exploration will evolve to higher levels and explore new avenues for future missions.
\"For many future missions, we could be working with international partners starting at the design stage, for example, with the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS),\" he explained. \"From the very beginning, there will be joint design and construction, and then all will share the benefits.\"
