Chinese experts are building a vacuum chamber to simulate conditions on the surface of the Moon, for future exploration of this celestial body.

vacuum chamber specially designed and equipped with an electron gun to negatively charge the dust, a deuterium lamp to emit ultraviolet rays, thus creating a low voltage positive charge, and a vibrating screen to simulate the flight of the dust, Space On May 10, it was reported. Additionally, scientists have also created a dust-like substance with properties similar to lunar dust. These elements create a specialized chamber capable of testing materials and objects in conditions close to those of the Moon.
The simulated lunar chamber was developed by Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT)Heilongjiang province, northeast China. “The full lunar surface simulation chamber, with its ability to reproduce many environments close to the real state on the Moon, helps us understand the mechanism of formation of lunar dust and its impact on spacecraft, spacesuits and astronauts, and to prepare future crews.said Li Liуi, director of HIT’s Institute of Space Environment and Materials Science.
“In the laboratory, we were able to reproduce six major types of environmental factors. This facility can simulate many environmental factors and has general characteristics that most closely approximate the real space environment on Earth.”Li added.
This experimental setup can simulate many environmental factors similar to the space environment.

Last month, China’s top lunar scientist Wu Weiren said the country was trying to land astronauts on the Moon before 2030. China is actively researching the hardware needed for the mission, including a new launch vehicle, a Crew spacecraft Next Generation Dragon, and a Lunar Lander.
Late last year, Wu Yansheng, chairman of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), also showed a video simulating the future Chinese crew landing on the Moon during a presentation.
