A leading Chinese science institution has announced plans to establish a space science lab in Luxembourg as part of a memorandum of understanding it has signed with the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy.
The lab is set to focus on studies of the distant regions of outer space, according to a statement from the National Space Science Center (NSSC) with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The lab will also develop technologies that will be used to explore resources in the solar system.
In 2016, Luxembourg launched a government initiative seeking to make use of resources in outer space.
