【#PolyU’s First Space Exploration Project Showcase in Beijing】Led by Prof. Christopher Chao, PolyU Vice President (Research and Innovation), the PolyU researchers and academic-led startup teams participated for the first time at the “HICOOL2024 Global Entrepreneur Summit” in Beijing, showcasing seven groundbreaking research projects that highlight the University’s exceptional capabilities in research and knowledge transfer. In support of the Nation’s first lunar sample return mission, Chang’e 5, and the world’s first lunar far-side sampling for the Chang’e-6 lunar exploration mission, a PolyU research team, led by Prof. YUNG Kai-leung, Sir Sze-yuen Chung Professor in Precision Engineering, Director of the Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations, and Chair Professor of Precision Engineering and Associate Head of the Dept of Industrial and Systems Engineering, developed and manufactured the“Surface Sampling and Packing System” in collaboration with the China Academy of Space Technology. It was publicly exhibited outside HK for the first time. Designed by PolyU and manufactured in HK, the System includes two samplers for collecting loose and sticky forms of lunar regolith, two high temperature near-field cameras, as well as a primary packaging and sealing system for sealing the samples in a container. The System is a testament to the University’s significant contribution to the Nation’s efforts to establish leadership in space exploration and technology. Through the PolyVentures ecosystem, the University provides comprehensive entrepreneurial support to its academic- and student-led startups. Five PolyU academic-led startup teams were invited to take part in roadshows during the Summit to showcase their innovations to prospective investors. -Scolioscan®: A Radiation-free 3D Ultrasound Scoliosis Assessment System (Prof. Zheng Yongping, Henry G.
