China's Tianwen 2 spacecraft took a selfie with Earth while en route to asteroid Kamo'oalewa, demonstrating successful in-orbit tests and preparing for sample collection and return, with future missions planned to explore other celestial objects.
China's Tianwen 2 asteroid probe captured stunning images of Earth and the Moon during its journey to a near-Earth asteroid, Kamo'oalewa, as part of its mission to collect samples and study the early solar system, with plans to continue its journey to a comet around 2035.
China has launched the Tianwen-2 mission to land on a tumbling near-Earth asteroid, extract samples, and return them to Earth, continuing its broader ambitions for lunar and Martian exploration and space dominance.
China's Tianwen-2 probe has captured stunning images of Earth and the Moon from 590,000 km away, showcasing advanced navigation technology and marking a milestone in China's space exploration efforts, which include studying asteroids and comets to better understand the solar system's formation.
China's Tianwen-2 probe has begun its decade-long mission, capturing images of Earth and the Moon from 590,000 km away, and is heading to explore a near-Earth asteroid believed to be a lunar fragment, followed by a study of comet 311P/PANSTARRS to uncover secrets about the origin of water and life on Earth.
China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft has sent back its first image from over 3 million kilometers away, as it journeys to study and eventually land on the near-Earth asteroid Kamo’oalewa, aiming to collect samples and return them to Earth by 2026, while also exploring the asteroid's origins and potential threats to Earth.
China's secretive Tianwen 2 spacecraft has been photographed for the first time, revealing its design and current position 2 million miles from Earth. Launched in May, it aims to collect samples from the quasi-moon Kamo'oalewa in 2026 and later visit a comet-asteroid hybrid, with its appearance resembling NASA's Lucy spacecraft. The mission's success could enhance understanding of Earth's co-orbitals and contribute to planetary science.
China's Tianwen 2 asteroid and comet probe has deployed a solar wing and is orbiting 3 million km from Earth, while other tech news includes China's censorship practices, Hitachi's AI for veteran workers, and AWS opening a Taiwan region.
China's Tianwen 2 spacecraft has sent back its first public image as it heads towards the quasi-moon asteroid Kamo'oalewa, with the mission aiming to study, sample, and return material from the asteroid, which could be a lunar fragment ejected by a giant impact, before proceeding to further targets in the solar system.
China's Tianwen 2 spacecraft has sent back its first public image as it approaches the quasi-moon asteroid Kamo'oalewa, aiming to study and sample it before returning to Earth in 2027, with future plans to explore a comet around 2035.
China's Tianwen 2 mission was launched to study and sample the near-Earth asteroid Kamo'oalewa, a 'quasi-moon' of Earth, with plans to return samples by 2027 and explore comet 311P/PANSTARRS in 2035, advancing China's space exploration efforts.
China launched the Tianwen-2 mission to study two unique objects in our solar system: an asteroid called Kamoʻoalewa, potentially a lunar fragment, and a main belt comet 311P/Pan-STARRS, both of which have never been visited by spacecraft before. The mission aims to collect asteroid samples and conduct a flyby of the comet, promising new insights into these mysterious celestial bodies and their origins.
China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft is launching to collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid Kamoʻoalewa, which may be a fragment of the moon, aiming to return the samples to Earth by 2027 to study the origins of Earth and the moon.
China is launching the Tianwen-2 mission to collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid Kamo'oalewa, aiming to analyze its origins and contribute to planetary defense, with plans to return samples to Earth in 2027 and explore a comet around 2035.
China's Academy of Aerospace Solid Propulsion Technology has successfully conducted high-altitude parachute deployment tests for the Tianwen-2 asteroid sample return and comet rendezvous mission, scheduled to launch in May 2025. The mission will target the near-Earth asteroid 469219 Kamoʻoalewa, and the parachute will be used to slow the descent of a return capsule carrying a sample container after reentering the Earth’s atmosphere. China is also working on an unprecedented Mars sample return mission and planning an asteroid deflection test for 2025.
