Objects from China's space probe mission sadded to national museum collection

Several objects that are testimony to China's progress in space were added to the collection to the National Museum of China on April 25, in Beijing.

China Academy of Space Technology donated a flag, which bears the handwritten signatures of the team members of the development of Chang'e-4, and the nine badges they wore. Chang'e-4 is a lunar exploration mission that made a historic landing on the far side of the moon on Jan 3, 2019.

Wang Chunfa director of the National Museum of China says that the museum is dedicated to building a collection that systematically reflects China's advancement in scientific research and industrial technology. He adds the donation also marks the beginning of a cooperation between the two institutions that will see the museum collecting, exhibiting and studying further items pertinent to China's space exploration operations.
