As the cornerstone mission of the fourth phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program,
Chang'E-7 (CE-7) was officially approved, and implementation started in 2022, including a …

ABSTRACT The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first return of lunar samples to Earth since
the Apollo and Luna missions more than 44 years ago, landed on one of the youngest mare …

The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection of substantial quantities
of water on the Moon's surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in …

With the rapid development of human lunar exploration projects, the lunar base
establishment and resource utilization are on the way, and hence it is urgent and significant …

Lunar soil is a fine mixture of local rocks and exotic components. The bulk-rock chemical
composition of the newly returned Chang'E-5 (CE-5) lunar soil was studied to understand its …

The formation and distribution of lunar surficial water remains ambiguous. Here, we show
the prominence of water (OH/H2O) attributed to solar wind implantation on the uppermost …

Lunar mare basalts provide a probe to study the magmatic and thermal evolution of the
Moon. The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission returned samples from a young and hitherto …

The Chang'E-5 (CE5) mission has demonstrated that lunar volcanism was still active until
two billion years ago, much younger than the previous isotopically dated lunar basalts. How …

This study focuses on the physical and chemical properties of surficial lunar regolith (LR)
samples returned from the Moon by the Chang'E-5 (CE-5) mission. Insights regarding the …

Lunar impact glasses can provide important information on the bulk compositions of their
sources and the impact history of the Moon. Here, we report the chemical composition of fifty …
