[TODAY] CHINA IS READY TO LAUNCH FIRST ROBOTIC MOON SAMPLING MISSION TO MONS RUMKER, NEAR OCEANUS PROCELLARUM !

I want China to do a Mars sample return first instead of manned mission to Mars. We will match ahead of US space.

What CNSA shall do , is to uses the 500kn new rocket engine to make a less ambition rocket with less risk and faster implementation of a new rocket with payload 43tons to LEO. Then using 2 launch to do a Mars sample return.

The long March-9 with 140tons LEON will take too long to get it operation in 2030. A space race indeed is happening now.

Considering Perseverance Rover is Part 1 of a Mars Sample Return, China is well behind in that “race." And Mars Sample Return is alot harder than Moon.

LOL. That is sample collection. Not return. You American has no meant to transport back yet. You are far from China Chang e 5 feat.

NASA released an independent review report Tuesday indicating the agency is well positioned for its Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign to bring pristine samples from Mars to Earth for scientific study. The agency established the MSR Independent Review Board (IRB) to evaluate its early concepts for a groundbreaking, international partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) to return the first samples from another planet.

Following an examination of the agency's ambitious Mars Sample Return plan, the board's report concludes that NASA is prepared for the campaign, building on decades of scientific advancements and technical progress in Mars exploration.

The MSR campaign will require three advanced space vehicles. The first, NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, is more than halfway to Mars following launch in July. Aboard Perseverance is a sophisticated sampling system with a coring drill and sample tubes that are the cleanest hardware ever sent to space. Once on Mars, Perseverance aims to cache rock and regolith samples in its collection tubes. It then would leave some of them on the Martian surface for an ESA-provided "fetch" rover to collect and deliver to a NASA-provided Mars Ascent Vehicle, which then would launch the samples into orbit around Mars. An ESA-provided Earth Return Orbiter would then rendezvous with the samples in orbit around Mars and take them in a highly secure containment capsule for return to Earth in the 2030s.

"Mars Sample Return is something NASA needs to do as a leading member of the global community," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "We know there are challenges ahead, but that's why we look closely at these architectures. And that's why in the end, we achieve the big accomplishments."

Part 1 is already underway, and sample return will begin this decade. China is nowwhere near returning samples from Mars. China will be fortunate to even ATTEMPT a Mars sample return mission this decade.

And the US already returned Moon rocks 50 years ago during the Apollo missions. China is decades behind.

Why don't you cooperate with them instead of useless bragging?

Indians read carefully that sentence. If he is looking down on China on this mission imagine what he is actually thinking of Indian moon or other space programs. While China is behind the US in numerous space programs it is not as if the gap cannot be bridged. China is making rapid progress completely focused on accomplishing certain goals. The US stopped exploring the Moon for decades but is now starting to refocus on it after China is making great progress. We have succeeded in a couple of things NASA has not done before so to say China is decades behind is plain stupid. I would agree that the US is decades ahead of India in the Lunar program.

Independent report? We know US bragging power and their so called independent is nothing but self bragging with over optimism estimation.

See what this expert has to say "China is in front" nothing but full of praise.

Oh come on, why so I secured, if US is in front, you don't have to come here to remind us. Unless of course someone is right behind you. Lolol. Body language says alot
