A Chinese lunar exploration team plans to conduct research on a lunar surface greenhouse, according to Wang Qiong, a senior space engineer with the China National Space Administration (CNSA), during a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

By utilizing lunar surface construction technologies, they hope to build a greenhouse that will enable rovers and robots on the moon to better and more easily endure the harsh conditions of the lunar night. Lasting 14 days and with temperatures dropping to minus 200 degrees Celsius, the lunar night poses severe challenges.

The Chang’e-6 mission carried a CubeSat of Pakistan and three scientific payloads from France, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Italy, all of which have achieved exploration results exceeding expectations.
