BEIJING, January 8. /tass/. Chinese scientists have discovered water in samples of lunar soil delivered to Earth in December 2020 by the Chang'e-5 spacecraft. This was reported on Saturday by the Xinhua news Agency, citing the results of a study published in the journal Science Advances.

As indicated in the material, scientists estimate that the samples contain 120 millionths (ppm) of water. It is also noted that the water appeared in the lunar soil mostly due to the solar wind.

On November 24, 2020, the Changzheng-5 launch vehicle was launched from the Wenchang Cosmodrome on Hainan Island, which sent the Chang 'e-5 spacecraft to the Moon. On December 17 of the same year, the Chang 'e-5 capsule successfully landed on the territory of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north of the country, the device delivered 1,731 grams of lunar rock samples to Earth.

China has become the first state in the last 44 years to carry out a mission to transport geological rock from the surface of the Moon.
