JAKARTA The Chang'e-6 spacecraft belonging to the Chinese Space Agency (CNSA) is on its way to Earth. This spacecraft carries a capsule containing samples collected from the far side of the Moon. The process of returning samples to Earth is the last stage of the Chang'e-6 mission that has been running for 53 days. Before arriving on Earth on June 25, the Chang'e-6 service module will release the capsule to enter the atmosphere. To date, CNSA has not provided any information regarding the maneuvering process that carries Chang'e-6 out of lunar orbit. However, this aircraft has certainly been leading to Earth to land capsules. Astronomers and groups operating amateur radios, quoted from Spacenews, managed to find the current Chang'e-6 position. They made the same statement, namely Chang'e-6, leading back to Earth's orbit. If the findings from these amateur optical and radio observations are correct, the capsules that keep samples are expected to land in Siziwang Banner, Mongolia. This capsule will go through a re-entry process in the atmosphere and land at 12.41 WIB.

After landing safely, the team from CNSA will secure the capsule and store it in a safe place. They will remove samples from the capsule and weigh how many samples have been collected. Samples from this month will be used to examine the composition and evolution on the far side of the moon. Researchers at CNSA will find out why the near side and away side of the moon have a very different look and how the solar system formation process is.
