flag Chinese scientists created a thermal model to locate water ice in the moon’s Shackleton Crater, aiding China’s 2026 Chang’e-7 mission.

flag Chinese scientists have developed a high-resolution thermal stability model to identify potential water ice deposits in the Shackleton Crater near the moon’s south pole, supporting China’s Chang’e-7 mission launching in 2026. flag The model, based on lunar soil properties and temperature simulations, maps areas where ice could remain stable over time, guiding the mission’s remote sensing and in-situ detection efforts. flag Published in the Planetary Science Journal, the research aims to improve the chances of locating water ice, which could support future lunar bases and deep space missions by reducing dependence on Earth-sourced supplies.
