"Peak Mission 2022 - Comprehensive Scientific Investigation and Research on the Extremely High Altitude Area of Mount Everest"
Recently launched in the Everest area
This is since the launch of the comprehensive scientific expedition on the Tibetan Plateau in 2017
The comprehensive scientific expedition with the widest coverage of disciplines, the largest number of participants in the scientific expedition team, and the most advanced instruments and equipment
