China has achieved a major success under its mission sent to the moon. Scientists have found minerals in the samples collected and sent to Earth under this mission sent to the moon in the year 2020. This is considered a great discovery. Earlier this work has been done by America and Soviet Union. In this way, China has become the third country to discover minerals on the moon. Significantly, in the year 2020, China sent the Chang'e - 5 mission to the moon. Under this mission, samples weighing about 1,731 grams were brought to Earth. These samples found from the moon have now been confirmed to contain minerals. These samples were brought to Earth only in December 2020.

Discovery of Changesite-Y 

China Atomic Energy Authority's vice chairman Dong Baotong said in a press conference that the mineral has been named Changesite-Y. According to him, it is a phosphate mineral. Its size is about 10 microns. This is the sixth mineral discovered by humans on the moon. Now China is very excited about its Moon mission. This is the reason why it has also announced to send an unmanned mission to the moon in the next 10 years. The National Space Administration of China has also been given permission to send these missions. 

China is giving competition to NASA

Let us tell you that China is now directly competing with America's space agency NASA through its space mission. China is the third country after the space station working in collaboration with other countries including Russia and America, which has built its space station in space. It has started working. Now China is looking to send its mission to the Red Planet.

Questions arising on NASA's Artemis-1 mission

This feat of China is also giving more thrill because the Artemis 1 mission which America's space agency was about to send to the moon is continuously failing. Now the new date for its launch will be announced by NASA. In such a situation, experts are considering this achievement of China as very big.
