On May 29, China made history by launching its Tianwen-2 probe aboard a Long March 3B rocket. This groundbreaking mission embarks on an ambitious journey to collect samples from asteroid 2016 HO3 and later explore comet 311P. With plans to return asteroid samples to Earth by 2027, the mission is set to unveil secrets of our early solar system. 🚀
Equipped with 11 high-tech scientific instruments, Tianwen-2 will navigate through 13 mission stages. It aims to advance innovative space technologies such as weak-gravity surface sampling, autonomous navigation, and deep space orbit transfers – breakthroughs that resonate with tech enthusiasts and creative minds alike.
For young explorers and innovators across South and Southeast Asia, this mission isn’t just about space; it’s a stellar example of how cutting-edge technology can fuel our dreams and curiosity. Keep looking up and dreaming big! ✨
