Chang'e-6 will fly to the moon, and will go through a total of 11 flight stages and complete the mission in several months. Every detail is full of difficulties, but the "Chang'e" team has always been far-sighted and determined to live up to their enterprising dreams.
It is believed that in the near future, China's first astronaut will land on the moon and add glory to the motherland. Today, let's take a look at the "Chang'e" moon landing, why China still does not dare to send astronauts to the moon.
1. Can "Chang'e" still fly The follow-up lunar program is densely packed?
Chang'e is a major space exploration project for China, with the aim of achieving China's goal of reaching the moon and returning to the moon for the first time on the moon. The project has been taking more than a decade, and since it was first launched in 2007, Chang'e-1, Chang'e-2, Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 have emerged.
In the process, China has successfully achieved a series of key technological breakthroughs, such as the soft landing and patrol of the moon, the driving of the lunar rover, the ascent of the moon, and the orbital flight of the moon. In May this year, Chang'e-6 was launched as planned, ready to taste the delicacies of the far side of the moon.
Chang'e-6 has completed various stages such as launch and earth-moon transfer, and will take samples from the lunar landing area and return samples to Earth. To this end, the Chang'e-6 team has studied lunar research around the world and carried out international cooperation.
In addition, China's Chang'e-7, Chang'e-8, and Chang'e-9 missions will also be launched one after another, providing a foundation for future lunar research work. What's more, China plans to build a scientific research station on the moon in 2023.
This means that China will continue to lead the way in the field of space and make important contributions to human space exploration.
2. Why does China not dare to send astronauts to the moon?
Chang'e-6's mission is to take samples from the far side of the moon, not to send astronauts to the moon. In the 60s of the last century, American scientists successfully sent humans to the moon for the first time, realizing the "human dream" on the moon.
In 1972, the last U.S. mission to the moon ended, and no astronauts from other countries have landed on the moon, but a new round of astronaut races to the moon is about to begin. Why didn't China dare to send someone to the moon? The main reasons are as follows.
First of all, human life is very precious, and astronaut missions to the moon are very dangerous. How can astronauts survive in such a harsh environment on the moon that lasts for a long time?
Moreover, the difficulty of landing on the moon is very great, in the 60s of the last century, the United States launched many Apollo missions, there were also some failures, the moon landing is very dangerous, if there is an emergency, how to escape?
Secondly, astronaut missions to the moon require significant financial resources. The United States successfully carried out astronaut missions to the moon in the 60s of the 20th century, which cost tens of billions of dollars, and people have not been on the moon since the 70s of the 20th century.
Although it has been more than half a century since it was left the moon, people's understanding of the moon is still very limited. It turns out that astronauts going to the moon require not only a lot of money, but also a range of high-tech equipment and technologies.
At present, the space exploration programs of all countries in the world are still developing and improving, and there is still a big gap in the level of science and technology. In view of this, China did not dare to rashly carry out an astronaut mission to the moon.
The author thinks. Human exploration of the Moon has only just begun, and only 7% of the lunar surface has been unveiled. In the future, with the continuous investment of countries around the world in science and technology and financial resources, human beings will continue to leave footprints on the moon.
The Chang'e-6 mission will lay the foundation for China's future astronaut missions to the moon, and it is believed that in the near future, China's first astronaut will land on the moon and contribute to the world's space exploration.
