Chinese lunar rover found a 12-meter layer of dust
The all-terrain vehicle is located in Von Karman Crater on the Moon and is part of the Chang’e 4 mission of China. From January 3, 2019this spaceship is the first to reach the back of the moon without crashing.
This device first measured dust on the lunar surface using a radar, and scientists from China and Italy described the results in a scientific article in the journal Science Advances.
Moon dust, also called regolith,It is a talc material made up of crushed rock and dust settled after asteroids fell to the surface of the moon billions of years ago. Chang’e 4 finds that this dust also covers the back of the Earth’s satellite.

“This work shows that widespread useradar could significantly improve our understanding of the history of lunar impact and volcanism and shed new light on understanding the geological evolution of the far side of the moon, ”the authors noted.
This understanding will be key to future missions to the moon. Moon dust can damage the spacecraft’s instruments as it approaches the surface of the moon, increasing the risk of failure.
