Zhu Menghua from the laboratory made a breakthrough this year, as his paper Reconstructing the Late-accretion History of the Moon was published in Nature in July. "The Mars explorer will collect many data from Mars and we will use our equipment to analyze those data for the study of Mars' inner structure and planetary evolution history," he said.īesides the deep space exploration, the laboratory scholars also do research on lunar physics, planetary physics, lunar geology and planetary chemistry.Īssociate Prof.
Zhang's team also has taken part in the research and development of the Mars explorer. Zhang's research team has about 40 experts and scholars, including leading figures and young talents from well-known global institutions, and have participated in major projects of China's deep space exploration long before the laboratory had been recognized by Ministry of Science and Technology.Ĭhina is set to launch its Mars explorer in 2020. "I can concentrate all the resources into this key laboratory." "This satellite program is moving forward much faster than I have expected," he told Xinhua in an recent interview.
He came to Macao from University of Exeter, Britain in 2018. Zhang Keke, chief of the laboratory, is a world renowned Earth and planetary physicist. 8, 2018 in Macao University of Science and Technology (MUST). The satellite program is operated by China's State Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Science, which was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and established on Oct. Geophysicists believe the study of SAA can help them find the reason of Earth's weakening magnetic field. The satellite, which will be launched in 2021, is the first of its kind to probe the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region of reduced magnetic intensity where the inner radiation belt is at its lowest altitude. Macao's first space exploration satellite was named Macao Science 1, the special administrative region (SAR)'s Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Tam Chon Weng announced Sunday at an opening ceremony of an aerospace exhibition.ĭuring the opening ceremony, Vice Administrator of China National Space Administration (CNSA) Wu Yanhua also announced that the CNSA would set up Macao Space Exploration and Science Center to assist deep space exploration cooperation between China and international society, and help such institutions in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to work with each other.
