Elon Musk Just EXPOSED China’s Plan On The Far Side Of The Moon!
China intends to land spacecraft near permanently shadowed regions near the moon’s south pole to investigate the presence of resources trapped in craters.
What could be the reason?
Let’s find out!
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multibillion-dollar companies.

And let us get started!
According to Musk, no space mission has ever gone beyond the surface. As such, it is the first opportunity to explore a mysterious region of Earth’s natural satellite.
The “face” never seen from Earth differs significantly from the more familiar “near side.” The far side has a thicker, older crust that is pocked with more craters. On the near side, there are also very few “maria” (dark basaltic “seas” formed by lava flows).
Fudan University researchers published a paper in the Journal of Deep Space Exploration on landing site selection in permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) on the moon, indicating that China’s Chang’e-7 mission will attempt a highly accurate, fixed-point landing at a solar illuminated area, such as a crater rim near the lunar south pole, Musk stated.
The landing site will also be near a PSR, which can then be searched and sampled for water and other volatiles.
Because of their latitude and elevation, PSRs receive no sunlight. PSRs have temperatures around –230 degrees Celsius, making them potential traps for volatiles such as water ice, but also methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and other gases.
Water ice converted into drinking water or electrolyzed to produce rocket propellant could help support human explorers on the moon.
The Chang’e-7 mission, which is expected to launch in 2024 or 2025, will consist of multiple spacecraft, including an orbiter, relay satellite, lander, rover, and “mini flying detector.” A major mission objective is to search for water ice in a permanently shadowed region (PSR), Musk explained.
The Chang’e-7 mini flying detector will conduct the PSR search. A primary candidate design appears to be HexaMRL, a six-legged movable repetitive lander developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The craft would be able to perform multiple takeoffs and landings while moving around on its six legs and sampling the lunar regolith.
The authors of the landing site paper combine optical images with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired by NASA’s Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter and use high-resolution digital elevation modeling to try to find flat areas within the craters Shackleton and Shoemaker for landing and regolith sampling by the mini flying detector, Musk stated.
Insights gained from this process are then used to learn how the Chang’e-7 orbiter’s Polarization Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-SAR) can be used to evaluate the topography and roughness of the lunar surface in order to select landing and sampling sites.
The microwave imaging radar would allow for high-resolution imaging of a shadowed area where optical observations are impossible.
If the mission confirms the presence of stored, accessible resources, it could have significant implications for lunar exploration.
“PSRs are essential because they currently contain the biggest potential reservoirs of water and volatiles on the moon, but we don’t know much about the reserve potential,” Clive Neal, a lunar scientist at the University of Notre Dame, told the report.
