In the early morning of December 17, Chinese returnee Chang’e-5 carrying lunar soil samples successfully returned to Earth. This is the first time humanity has obtained a lunar sample after 44 years, witnessing the new history created by China’s space flights. Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message on the same day, emphasizing vigorously promoting the spirit of pursuing dreams, exploring boldly, coordinating fortifications and mutually beneficial cooperation, and starting a new step-by-step interstellar exploration journey. This will undoubtedly encourage the Chinese people to move forward, explore the mysteries of the universe, and improve human well-being.
“Dare to go up to nine days to take the moon”, this is the dream and pride of the Chinese people. From the launch of Chang’e-1 of the lunar exploration prelude, to the successful landing of the first lunar rover “Yutu” by Chang’e-3, to the return of moon samples at Chang’e-5, the project China’s lunar exploration conducted “circumnavigation, landing, Return to the three-step plan. China thus became the third country in the world to bring samples of the moon. This shows the world the Chinese people’s relentless pursuit of dreams and courage to explore the unknown The BBC commented that the successful completion of the Chang’e 5 mission is seen as another proof of the continuous improvement of China’s space exploration capabilities.
According to official Chinese sources, as China’s most complex aerospace system project with the greatest technological reach, Chang’e 5 has created five “firsts” in China, including: sampling and packaging of extraterrestrial objects, and precise ignition and take-off of extraterrestrial objects. Entering orbit, unmanned rendezvous and docking, and lunar orbit sample transfer, transport lunar samples to re-enter and return at high speed close to cosmic second speed, and establish a storage, analysis and research system for lunar samples in China . This is a concentrated demonstration of China’s ability to innovate independently and also represents China’s institutional advantages in concentrating its efforts on important tasks.
As the person in charge of the Chang’e 5 mission said, to ensure that such a large system is connected to each other, it is necessary to bring together the wisdom and strength of all parties to overcome and solve problems together. Thanks to the cooperation of thousands of units and tens of thousands of science and technology workers across the country, Chang’e 5 completed an unforgettable “collection-pack-transfer-encapsulation” deep space ballet of lunar samples and returned successfully. , Laid a solid foundation for China’s future lunar and planetary exploration.
Science knows no borders and China Aerospace has advanced through openness and innovation. The successful completion of the Chang’e 5 mission is also inseparable from international cooperation based on mutual benefit and win-win results. According to official sources, the National Space Administration of China has signed more than 140 space cooperation documents with 44 foreign space agencies and 4 international organizations, and carried out extensive cooperation in exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. During the implementation of the Chang’e 5 mission, China has carried out coordinated cooperation in the field of measurement and control with ESA, Argentina, Namibia, Pakistan and other countries and international organizations.
As the greatest achievement of this lunar exploration mission, the scientific and technological value of China’s lunar soil samples has received great attention from the international community. The Associated Press noted that the lunar soil samples brought back by Chang’e 5 are believed to be billions of years younger than those obtained by the United States and the Soviet Union, providing a new perspective on the evolution of the moon. and other celestial bodies in the solar system. What excites the world is that China has made it clear that it will share lunar samples with like-minded institutions and scientists from various countries, including relevant exploration data, for scientific analysis based on the concept of development of equality, mutual benefit, peaceful use and win-win cooperation. This is China’s practical effort to deepen humanity’s knowledge of space.
In the future, China will not stop in its exploration of space. Building on the success of the Chang’e-5 mission, the fourth phase of the China lunar exploration project and the planetary exploration project will continue to be implemented. At the same time, an international lunar research station is being planned. The international community is invited to participate in China-related exploration activities to promote the peaceful use of space.
The exploration of the universe by humanity is endless, but the original intention of exploration must not be forgotten, that is, for a better life of humanity. On the basis of this original intention, China will continue to innovate and advance under the guidance of the spirit of lunar exploration, strengthen international cooperation and make more “Chinese contributions” to build a community with a shared future for mankind in the field of outer space. .
