Chang’e-5 Analyses Determine Hydroxyl / Helium-3 Prevalence, Astrobotic Working on Lunar Night Power
In-situ & laboratory analysis of Chang’e-5 samples by NAOC-CAS show 28.5 ppm OH content in soil / up to 179 ppm within apatite-containing rock samples; Separate study at Nanjing University finds 5-25nm Helium-3 bubbles trapped in surface layer of ilmenite particles, estimates 260,000t 3He may be contained on Moon, sufficient quantity in theory to power Earth for 2600 years; Astrobotic partnering with WiBotic, Bosch to develop wireless charging system capable of enduring -118° to 104°C temp during 14-Earth day lunar night
