Chinese scientists set record with daytime laser ranging to Moon satellite

Chinese scientists achieved a milestone in space exploration. They successfully conducted satellite laser ranging in Earth-moon space during the day. The team beamed a laser to the Tiandu-1 satellite, about 130,000 kilometers away. They captured the return signal using an upgraded lunar laser ranging system. This enhances navigation in space. It supports future deep-space projects and lunar missions by 2030.
