Could the moon be billions of years younger than we thought? Samples collected during China’s Chang’e-5 mission enabled in part by ERZIA will tell us soon. ERZIA has long designed, developed, and manufactured space qualified RF and microwave devices for the space/aerospace industry. This year ERZIA amplifiers are instrumental in a breakthrough mission with China’s Chang’e-5 moon lander probe, which will collect the youngest lunar samples ever and deliver them to Earth via a lunar orbiter around December 16, 2020. The lander was launched on November 23, 2020.

Spectrometers employing acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs) are rapidly gaining popularity in space, and in particular on interplanetary missions. According to a paper published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, “they allow for reducing volume, mass, and complexity of the instrumentation and are used for analyzing ocean color, greenhouse gases, atmospheres of Mars and Venus, and for lunar mineralogy. The AOTFs are used in point (pencil-beam) spectrometers for selecting echelle diffraction orders, or in hyper-spectral imagers and microscopes.”
