Introduction
The China National Space Administration announced today (May 1) that the Chang'e-6 mission of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project is scheduled to be launched on May 3 after comprehensive research and judgment by the engineering mission command.
Beijing traffic radio reporter Sun Yuan currently saw at the Wenchang Cosmodrome in China that preparations for the mission are progressing steadily, and the Long March 5 Yao-8 carrier rocket that carried out the launch is about to be filled with propellant. This is the second launch mission of the Long March 5 launch vehicle, which will transport the Chang'e-6 probe to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit to carry out the sample return mission on the far side of the moon. The launch window refers to the time frame that is suitable for the launch of a rocket. On the basis of comprehensively considering the relationship between the position of the Earth and the Moon, the engineering team applied the "narrow window multi-orbit" launch technology to design a total of 10 lunar orbits for the rocket in a 50-minute window for two consecutive days.
