BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.
WATER ON THE MOON
Planetary scientists in China found hints of a new water reservoir on the Moon in Chang'e-5 samples that show the potential for in-situ resource utilization by future lunar and deep space exploration missions.
The team of researchers led by scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified that glass beads in Chang'e-5 lunar soils, which were formed from the cooling of melted material ejected by impacts, contain a higher amount of solar wind-derived water than previously thought.
SATELLITE IMAGES
China's space agency on Tuesday released its first group of images captured by the country's remote sensing satellite Gaofen-5 01A, which can be used for greenhouse gas detection, inland water quality monitoring and mineral resource survey.
The 14 images cover global ozone column concentration monitoring, global nitrogen dioxide column concentration monitoring, brightness temperature monitoring and sea ice monitoring, according to the China National Space Administration.
Gaofen-5 01A, a hyperspectral Earth observation satellite launched into space on Dec. 9 last year, is providing data for pollution reduction work, environmental monitoring, natural resource surveys and climate change studies.
EXTINCT GIANT PANDA FAMILY
A team of Chinese paleontologists along with their U.S. counterparts have discovered an extinct predatory family of giant pandas that were characterized by long limbs and excellent running abilities.
The herbivorous giant panda is the single existing bear in its own genus and species, but it belonged to a flourishing family millions of years ago.
The researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the American Museum of Natural History have identified a new genus of an extinct relative of the giant panda. This new genus, named Huracan, has been described based on a significant amount of fossil materials found in both North America and eastern Asia.
