“China Breaks Ground: Measures Moon Distance Using Laser Technology”

In a major technological leap, China has successfully measured the distance from Earth to the Moon using laser technology—independently and for the very first time. This historic scientific achievement showcases China’s rapid advancements in space science and precision measurement systems, marking a proud milestone in the global space race.

This laser-based measurement system reflects the country’s growing capability in space exploration and geodesy (the science of measuring Earth’s shape and position). As China continues to make significant strides in its space program, this achievement opens new doors for even more precise lunar missions, satellite tracking, and scientific research.
