Egypt and Bahrain have joined China as international partners to develop and deliver scientific instruments for the Chang’e-7 mission.
This Chinese lunar mission aimed at searching for water ice at the moon’s South Pole in 2026.
The hyperspectral camera, developed collaboratively by Egypt and Bahrain with assistance from Chinese engineers, is one of six international payloads chosen by the CNSA for the Chang’e-7 lunar mission.
This camera will image and analyse lunar surface materials from orbit, including the Moon’s polar regions.
