In the past two days, a news about Chang'e-6 has caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Someone exclaimed, it turns out that this "Iron Man" is still carrying a "small schoolbag"? What kind of big move is this? As soon as the news came out, Chinese and foreign netizens applauded one after another, calling China's lunar exploration satellite another double click, which made people's eyes shine!
First of all, let's sort out the ins and outs of this "little schoolbag".
As we all know, the Chang'e-6 lunar probe, which has just been successfully launched by the mainland, is responsible for achieving the first sample return on the far side of the moon.
However, when the China Academy of Space Technology released a high-definition picture of the Chang'e-6 "combination", foreign netizens were very sharp-eyed and immediately focused on a mysterious object hanging on the outer layer of the probe.
As soon as this unidentified object was unveiled, it immediately sparked a frenzy of speculation around the world.
According to its appearance, some people preliminarily determined that the car was equipped with an infrared spectrometer, which was used to analyze the composition of rocks and soil on the surface of the moon, and then carry out work such as water resource exploration.
Seeing this, many people who eat melons can't help but wonder: Didn't you say that it was a good simple sampling return? Why do you still have such a big "surprise bag" hidden? In the face of doubts, I just want to say that Chang'e-6 is a highly complex lunar exploration mission, with a journey of more than 50 days, 11 flight stages, and four key systems that have to be separated and combined many times.
In response to this difficulty, it is understandable to carry more "out-of-business" equipment.
Moreover, Chang'e-5 also "hidden" a lot of black technology back then.
Just like Chang'e-6 this time, in addition to the payloads that cooperate with foreign countries, is there still less "treasure" it carries? No, a few days ago, Ji Qiming, assistant director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, gave everyone another appetite.
They made it clear that the manned lunar landing project has been launched in an all-round way, and all tackling key problems and experiments are being carried out in an orderly manner.
The dream of landing on the moon is close at hand, and female astronauts are also expected to set foot on the moon.
It's a little exciting to think about it!
In fact, as early as in an interview not long ago, Liu Yang, the first female astronaut in the mainland to be stationed on the space station, publicly stated that her greatest wish is to be able to land on the moon in the future.
These words are not only her personal ambition, but also represent the common expectations of Chinese astronauts.
After all, since ancient times, the moon has carried countless beautiful imaginations of the Chinese nation.
Of course, landing the first woman on the moon will not be easy.
First of all, the harsh environment during the transfer of the Earth and the Moon is a huge test for the physical and mental state of the astronauts.
In addition, the reserve members of the mission to the moon will inevitably go through rounds of rigorous selection, and will never lower their standards because of their gender.
It is true that female astronauts have many unique advantages, such as quick response, strong ability to work under pressure, and a good sense of teamwork.
But it is also important to recognize that a mission to the moon is much riskier than a mission on the space station.
How to overcome these difficulties needs to be tested by further engineering practice.
In the final analysis, the top priority is to focus on the present and tackle the key technologies of deep space exploration in one go.
The mission of Chang'e-6 is to accumulate experience for the subsequent manned landing on the moon.
The glorious record of Chang'e-5's first lunar sample return tells the world that China's lunar exploration will never stop; With the new legend that Chang'e-6 is about to deduce, the journey of China's aerospace dream will not end.
Chang'e runs to the moon, and the Chinese dream wants to sail.
This mysterious lunar rover is, after all, just a microcosm of the future journey.
At this moment, Chang'e-6 not only brought the dream to 380,000 kilometers away, but also brought the picture of national rejuvenation into the hearts of every Chinese.
