China Proposes Magnetic Launch System for Sending Resources Back to Earth
China’s Shanghai Institute of Satellite Engineering (SAST) has proposed a magnetic catapult system on the Moon to transport resources, such as helium-3, back to Earth. This concept, which has been explored by scientists for decades, could become part of China’s long-term lunar development plans within the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a joint project with Russia. The system would use magnetic levitation to launch payloads … Continue reading China Proposes Magnetic Launch System for Sending Resources Back to Earth
