On June 27, 2023, the Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Centre of the National Space Administration (NASA) announced the announcement of the sixth batch of lunar samples issuance, and Academician Xie Heping of our academy was successfully granted 100mg of Chang'e-5 lunar samples, which is also the first time for Shenzhen higher education and research institutes to be granted real lunar samples.On 7 August, Academician Xie Heping, as the person responsible for the use of lunar samples, went to the National Observatory of Shenzhen University on behalf of Shenzhen University to collect the lunar samples, and the precious lunar soil has been handed over to Academician Xie Heping's research team, which is the first time for Shenzhen to receive Chang'e-5 lunar samples.

In 2018, Academician Xie Heping's team proposed for the first time in the world the concept of "pressure preservation, heat preservation, quality preservation, moisture preservation and light preservation" coring to obtain the real physical parameters of the deep Earth, and independently developed the in-situ fidelity coring prospecting for deep rocks with fidelity testing and analysis system, which was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for the major scientific research instrument project.On 25 April 2023, the Deep Space Exploration (Tiandu) Laboratory of the National Space Administration (NASA) and Academician Xie Heping jointly and formally established a scientists' workshop to conduct in-depth collaborative research on basic scientific issues in the development of deep space material resources.

According to the team, this application for moon soil mainly carries out research on the mechanism of force and heat transfer between moon soil particles under the environment of vacuum electromagnetic rise and fall in the deep space of the universe.

Chinese lunar samples were collected and returned by Chang'e-5 on 17 December 2020, totalling 1731g, which are the only real samples obtained by mankind from the Moon after the Apollo mission of the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s and the Luna mission of the former Soviet Union, which are invaluable and have extremely important scientific research value.
