The CE5 lunar samples were stored in an ultraclean room at Extraterrestrial Sample Curation Center of National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), before being allocated by the China National Space Administration.

Can solar energy be stored as chemical energy?

The solar energy from the solar field can be potentially stored as chemical energy, through the endothermic fuel oxidation reaction in a chemical process. Thermochemical systems commonly require higher temperatures to initiate the energy storage, but conversely provide higher temperatures on the release of that energy.

Does solar energy have a 'long term' storage requirement?
