(Masrawy):
Just one day after Chinese scientists announced their success in sprouting a seed on the moon, Beijing on Thursday confirmed the end of its feat after the death of the cottonseed.
According to Sky News, Chinese scientists announced that the seed carried on the moon aboard the Chinese "Zhang Ah-4" spacecraft was the first to develop on the moon.
According to the source, the dead plant will break down in the box in which it was planted and, therefore, the remains will not cause any potential environmental damage to the Moon.
At present, astronomers are banking on the success of the Moon experience, hoping to expand space missions in the future.
The Chinese probe Chang & # 39; e-4 led the first micro-oceanic experiment on the moon after landing in early January.
The probe, Zhang Ah-4, carried the seeds of cotton, rape, potatoes and arabidopsis, as well as fruit fly eggs and yeast, to form a small, simple biosphere, according to one team of researchers led by scientists from Chongqing University, in southwestern China.
The probe missions (Chang-ah-4), which landed on the moon on January 3, include low frequency radio astronomy, surface and surface surveillance, metal composition detection, radiation measurement Neutron and neutral atoms to study the environment located on the other side of the moon.
China is trying to catch up with Russia and the United States to become a major space power by 2030. She plans to launch a new manned space station next year.
