Successful launch of Chang’e 5 with cargo on the moon

Original title: Successful launch of Chang’e 5 with cargo on the moon

According to Xinhua news agency, at 4:30 on November 24, China successfully launched the Chang’e-5 Lunar Exploration Project probe with the Long March 5 Yaowu carrier rocket at the Wenchang space launch site in China. . The rocket will successfully detect the moon after about 2,200 seconds. The device was sent to the predetermined orbit, beginning the return trip of the first sampling of extraterrestrial bodies of our country.

After the Long March 5 Yaowu carrier rocket was launched into space, it successively implemented booster separation, fairing separation, primary and secondary separation, and rocket separation.

Lunar exploration of the National Administration of Space andAerospace engineeringDeputy Director of the Center, Mission Chang’e 5news spokespersonAccording to Pei Zhaoyu, the Chang’e-5 probe consists of four parts: an orbiter, a return, a lander, and an ascendant. After the Earth-Moon transfer, near-moon braking and circumlunar flight, the combination of the lander and ascendant will combine with the orbit The combined retreat and retreat body is separated, the orbiter wears the retreat to stay into orbit and the lander carries the ascendant to deploy the pre-selected area in front of the moon.Soft landing, Track, such as automatic sampling of the lunar surface, as expectedjobs。

The Chang’e 5 mission is reported to be planning to accomplish three major projectsobjectives: First, breakthrough narrow window multi-orbital link launch, lunar surface automatic sampling and packaging, lunar surface liftoff, lunar, lunar orbital encounter and dockingsampleStorage and other key technologies raise the level of China’s aerospace technology; the second is to conduct the first automatic sampling and return of extraterrestrial objects from China to promote scientific and technological progress; the third is to improve the lunar exploration engineering system and accumulate important talents for China’s future manned moon landing and deep space exploration, technology and material base.

The scientific objectives of the Chang’e-5 mission are mainly to carry out the study of the landing site area topography and the study of geological background, obtain in situ analysis data related to lunar samples and establish the connection between the on-site exploration data and laboratory analysis data; systematically perform lunar samples,longLaboratory research to analyze the structure, physical properties and material composition of the lunar soil, and deepen the study of the origin and evolution of the moon.

The Chang’e-5 mission is organized and implemented by the National Space Administration, and is specifically comprised of five main systems including the overall project and detectors, launch vehicles, launch sites, measurement and control and recovery, and land applications.

Since the project was officially started and launched in January 2004, the lunar exploration project has successively implemented five missions, including Chang’e 1, Chang’e 2, Chang’e 3, reentry flight test, and Chang ‘e 4. This launch mission is Flight 353 in the Long March series of carrier rockets.
