After a gap of 52 years, the United States has landed on the moon again, and this time it can be regarded as a "return to the moon" -- a symbolic step of a manned landing on the moon, but it is still unknown whether it will succeed, because it is still on the way to the moon.
Although the United States is also one of the world's top three space powers, there are "doubts" about all problems, and this time it is the American commercial lunar lander, which further illustrates the existence of its uncertainty, and a number of foreign media have exposed that there are already problems.
Therefore, even if there is the support of NASA and others, it may not be "necessarily successful", and the launch of the Russian Luna 25 is also a typical example, so what will the United States bring to the moon this time? Let's take a closer look.
After 52 years, the United States successfully launched a lunar probe
That's right, the last time the United States carried out lunar exploration, including the launch of a lunar probe - it was 52 years ago, and the American moon landing can be said to have basically ended on the "Apollo program", and it has not been carried out since.
Although many people are still questioning the authenticity of the American Apollo program, it is necessary to explain that - really, there is no controversy about this, and the United States also sent Chinese lunar samples back then, and the mainland scientific team proved the problem, and at the same time, at that time, 1 gram was sent, and China only used 0.5 grams to prove its source, and half a gram has been collected on the mainland.
So, if it's really fake, then the world is blown apart.
Moreover, because of this, the director of NASA has repeatedly said that he has asked China to share the Chang'e-5 lunar samples, saying that it should share the world like the American Apollo program, but China has not responded.
And in 2023, it will be even crazier, and many people should also see that the United States is seeking Chinese Chang'e-5 lunar samples, and even "specially opened the green light channel" to let NASA scientists or experts apply for Chinese samples.
This is enough to see the desire of the United States for Chinese lunar samples and hopes to obtain part of the achievements.
But until China closed the application channel, there was no explanation.
So, this makes the United States "very sad", but there is no way, the United States stipulates that cooperation is not allowed. Therefore, this time the United States landed on the moon again, whether it was "public or private" for the United States, in fact, it also highlighted the United States' desire to land on the moon again.
So, 52 years apart, the United States successfully launched a lunar probe, which can be regarded as a historic moment.
So what is the US moon landing for?
In fact, for the United States to land on the moon this time, to put it in my heart, it is of little significance, it can only be said that the United States may simply "show a historic" moment, and this is almost not much value compared to the United States manned landing on the moon - returning to the moon and manned landing on the moon.
Moreover, how long has it been reported by foreign media that the United States has already had problems with the moon landing this time.
According to the disclosures, the spacecraft suffered a propulsion anomaly a few hours after a successful launch, making it increasingly unlikely to land on the moon and preventing Astrobotic from achieving stable solar pointing.
According to Astrobotic CEO John Thornton, "The first thing to do is rotate the spacecraft, make sure it's pointing at the sun, and then charge the battery to make sure everything is in order." But since then, the team has said that the failure within the propulsion system appears to have resulted in a severe loss of propellant and no fuel — a serious thruster-related damage.
Therefore, the entire task is already at risk, and the probability of mission failure is increasing.
Of course, whether it succeeds or fails, let's take a look at the situation of this detector first.
According to the disclosure, the launch of the U.S. lunar lander named "Peregrine" (Peregrine), according to the plan is expected to land on the moon on February 23, if the lunar landing mission is successful, "Peregrine" will become the first United States to land on the surface of the moon since the 21st century, which may be the first step for the United States to return to the moon.
It is understood that the "Peregrine Falcon" is about 2.5 meters wide, 1.9 meters high, weighs about 1.2 tons, and carries six NASA scientific payloads, which can be used to study the lunar surface environment such as lunar surface temperature, magnetic field, and radiation.
See, it's not a sample return program to the moon, it's actually an exploration of the moon.
What is more peculiar is that the United States has done something different this time on the moon, that is, it has delivered a number of strange things, such as: human remains in the United States, Japan's time capsule, carrying information about more than 80,000 children around the world, and so on.
So, the U.S. is really a little different in what it does.
Of course, strictly speaking, the United States is a platform, and if you are capable of other countries that have the ability to carry out lunar exploration, you will definitely be able to carry out this mission.
Therefore, the U.S. moon landing actually does not have much practical significance, at most it is to provide important data support for the U.S. manned lunar landing mission.
summary
On the whole, the US moon landing is also symbolic, but whether it can succeed is still unknown.
This is mainly to test the landing technology of the United States, and if this technology is not well controlled, it will really fail.
Just like this, the former Russian Luna 25 mission failed at the time of the final landing, do you say that this is a surprise to many people? It is indeed quite a surprise, and many people did not expect it, so whether the United States can succeed or not, first "reserve".
