Before the mission began, there were already countries and institutions contacting Yixing Company, hoping to obtain Martian soil samples for scientific research.
Now, even more countries and organizations are eagerly contacting Yixing Company to acquire Martian soil samples.
In this regard, the Aerospace Bureau and Yixing Company had long established a distribution plan.
The ownership of the Martian soil samples is jointly held by the Aerospace Bureau and Yixing Company.
Domestically, there would definitely not be a need for so many Martian samples, so a portion of them could be shared with other countries and institutions. How the portion from the Aerospace Bureau was to be allocated was for the higher-ups to decide.
Of the Martian soil samples that Yixing Company obtained, a part was given for free to several collaborating material laboratories and research and development teams, while the remainder was sold internationally.
