Today Monday (24/04) coinciding with China’s Space Day, China’s lunar exploration project will continue to be developed.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) this Monday (24/04) will launch a series of China’s strategies and plans around future space exploration.
The chief designer of the Chinese lunar exploration project, Academician Wu Weiren, in his interview with CMG, introduced that China is carrying out the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project. Among them, the Chang’e-6 space probe is planned to be launched in 2024. Its main task is to take samples on the far side of the moon, then return to Earth with lunar samples. This is the first time that mankind has taken samples of lunar soil on the far side of the moon. . Meanwhile, the Chang’e-7 spacecraft will land at the lunar south pole to search for evidence of water on the moon, while Chang’e-8 will work with Chang’e-7 to jointly build a prototype International Lunar Science Research Station. , carried out a series of exploration and exploitation trials of lunar resources.
According to Wu Weiren, China is building a constellation of communication and navigation satellites around the moon, or in short, a lunar version of the BeiDou navigation system.
Wu Weiren introduced that humanity has entered the era of exploration and exploitation of the moon. In the future, more and more unmanned spacecraft and manned spacecraft will land on the moon. Activities on the complicated surface of the moon require more accurate navigation information and guarantee smooth and large-capacity communication. Therefore, building a communication constellation and lunar navigation is very important. In order to explore outer space in depth in the future, apart from the lunar constellation which has the functions of communication, navigation and can be controlled remotely, China also plans to expand the constellation to other planets.
