Foreign Media: Sino-Russian Lunar Mission Targets One of the Greatest Risks in Lunar Exploration
According to Sputnik News Agency on September 12, 2026: The Russian PmL-Ch7 instrument, carried aboard China's Chang'e-7 mission, will study lunar dust behavior — a major challenge for future lunar exploration, as lunar dust can float and spread across the surface, potentially posing risks to astronauts.
???? This Russian device will measure lunar dust particles, including their concentration, charge, velocity, and mass, helping to validate existing lunar dust environment models.
???? PmL-Ch7 will analyze natural dust movement, as well as changes induced by spacecraft equipment, rovers, drilling devices, and robotic systems.
???? The instrument will be carried on China's Chang'e-7 mission, scheduled for launch in 2027, reflecting ongoing cooperation between China and Russia in lunar research.
Understanding lunar dust dynamics is crucial for future lunar bases and long-term exploration missions.
