Demonstrate implementation plans such as marginal exploration of the solar system.
Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration, also introduced that according to the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan," the mainland should complete the completion and operation of major national projects that began to be implemented ten years ago, including manned spaceflight projects, Beidou projects, and high-resolution Earth observation systems, as well as scientific analysis of scientific research data and lunar soil that "orbit, fall, and return" of lunar exploration projects. At the same time, it is also necessary to launch a number of new major aerospace projects, including the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project and the planetary exploration project, and also to demonstrate the implementation of a number of major projects such as heavy carrier rockets.
At 10:35 a.m. on January 17, the mainland successfully launched the test 13th satellite with the Long March 2 Ding carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, and the satellite smoothly entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. Xinhua News Agency

Short comments
The space dream never stops
Open the "2021 China Aerospace" white paper, heavy rockets, manned moon landings, Mars sampling, space tourism... The blueprints for technology are exciting.
In the past five years, the construction of China's space station has been fully implemented, opening the era of long-term presence; Chang'e 4 first landed on the lunar back to inspect and explore, Chang'e 5 brought back 1731 grams of lunar soil; Tianwen-1 achieved the leap of China's aerospace from the Earth-Moon system to interplanetary exploration, leaving a Chinese imprint on Mars for the first time; space infrastructure has been continuously improved, and the Beidou global satellite navigation system has been completed and opened... In the past five years, China Aerospace has adhered to the core position of innovation in the development of the aerospace industry, built and strengthened the national strategic scientific and technological strength in the aerospace field, and continuously improved the ability of independent development and safe development of space.
Launching probes such as "Chang'e 6" and "Chang'e 7", completing key technologies such as Mars sample return and Jupiter exploration... In the next five years, the "mission list" of China's aerospace is full of expectations, Chinese astronauts will continue to explore and open up more mysteries of the starry sky, and China's aerospace will certainly be able to make new and greater contributions to serving the overall situation of national development, promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind in the field of outer space, and promoting the progress of human civilization.

Lunar exploration project
There are three more missions that follow the fourth phase of the lunar exploration
Liu Jizhong, director of the Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center of the China National Space Administration, introduced that since the implementation of the lunar exploration project in 2004, by 2020, the "Chang'e-5" returned to the earth with lunar samples, and successfully completed the "orbit, fall and return" target tasks of the first, second and third phases of the lunar exploration project. After planning, the fourth phase of the lunar exploration included four missions.
The first mission, chang'e-4, which we have already launched, landed on the far side of the moon and has been successfully implemented. There are three follow-up missions: one is "Chang'e 6", which will go to the high-value areas of the moon for sampling and return; "Chang'e 7" is mainly to conduct scientific exploration of the lunar polar region, especially the distribution of water on the moon; "Chang'e 8" will carry out scientific exploration of the polar region and verify the key technologies for the follow-up of scientific research stations.
The entire fourth phase of lunar exploration basically aims to achieve the basic goal of building a scientific research station, and at the same time lays the foundation for the subsequent construction of an international lunar scientific research station with international cooperation. We are also in close communication and coordination with our international counterparts on these missions, and will work together to carry out relevant detections. For example, the Chang'e-7 mission has signed an agreement with Russia's luna-26 to jointly conduct exploration. According to the current overall development progress, around 2025, we will complete the relevant work of "Chang'e 6" and "Chang'e 7", and carry out the development of "Chang'e 8"; before 2030, we will complete the launch of "Chang'e 8". In summary, by 2030, we can achieve the expected results in the fourth phase of the lunar exploration.
Day Scouting Program
More than 290 solar probes have been imaged
Regarding the future solar exploration plan of the mainland, scientists are currently carrying out relevant demonstration studies, which will enable us to further understand the structure of the sun, determine the characteristics of solar activity, grasp its mechanism and activity law, better predict space weather, and benefit mankind.
Zhao Jian, director of the Earth Observation and Data Center of the China National Space Administration, introduced that the "Xihe" satellite is the first scientific and technological experimental satellite for solar exploration on the mainland. The successful launch of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on October 14 last year marked that the mainland officially entered the era of space exploration, and after more than three months of on-orbit tests and experiments, this satellite has completed more than 40 technical verifications of the satellite platform, more than 290 times of detection and imaging of the sun, the platform and related payloads of the satellite are stable and normal, and the functions and performance meet the general requirements for development.
Zhao Jian pointed out that the "Xihe" landing on the sky to explore the sun is following the successful realization of the lunar sampling return by the "Chang'e 5" and the successful realization of the "orbiting, falling, and patrolling" exploration of Mars by the "Tianwen-1" and within a year's time, the exploration of the earth, planets, and stars in the solar system has achieved full coverage, playing a "trio" of deep space exploration, and contributing wisdom and strength to the construction of a space power.
China's aerospace industry has reached an input-output ratio of more than 1:10
Zhao Jian pointed out that the development of aerospace really requires high investment. However, the benefits of spaceflight and its applications are even greater. According to preliminary statistics, the input-output ratio of more than 1:10 can be reached. The application of new aerospace technologies has brought about great changes in industrial development, and the transformation of aerospace technology achievements on the development of the national economy is very obvious, promoting the development of intelligent transportation, new energy and new materials, and playing an important role in supporting the comprehensive construction of a well-off society.
Secondly, aerospace applications have been widely used in land and resources surveys, environmental protection, agricultural development, forest and grassland monitoring, disaster prevention and mitigation, meteorological forecasting, marine development, transportation, education and medical care, urban and rural construction and other economic and social fields, the application of new technologies derived from it has also entered thousands of households, and the people can also experience the beautiful life created by aerospace science and technology.
In addition, the development of aerospace not only promotes the rapid formation of the aerospace industry chain, but also empowers traditional industries, promotes industrial upgrading and quality improvement.
Zhao Jian said that space development will continue to enhance the well-being of the people and effectively promote the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The further development and utilization of space technology will also jointly protect this blue planet and benefit the people.
