    The Chang’E-6 probe, consisting of an orbiter, lander, lunar ascent vehicle and reentry capsule,
    will target the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin. The SPA basin is a colossal, ancient impact
    crater roughly 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) in diameter that covers almost a quarter of the
    moon’s far side. The impact basin, considered to be the oldest on the moon, holds vital clues
    about the history of the moon and the solar system, according to a new report.
    The Chang’e 6 mission will also carry a number of payloads from international partners. The
    Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) in collaboration with China National
    Space Adminis- tration (CNSA) has provided its member states (MS) the opportunity to launch
    a payload/ Cubesat onboard the Orbiter and also deployment of CubeSat in the lunar orbit.
    As part of APSCO mission, we are currently working on a CubeSat to be deployed into a lunar
    orbit. The CubeSat shall consist of a visible/ spectral imager for further understanding of the
    lunar surface. The Cubesat will demonstrate TM TC and communication capabilities in Lunar
    orbit. The paper will focus on the detailed mission overview and design techniques of the lunar
    CubeSat onboard Chang’E-6 mission.
