In the future, in addition to Mars sampling and return, what other engineering tasks will China implement?

On the afternoon of 12 and 17, the State Council held a press conference on the mission of Chang 'e V of the lunar exploration project. It was learned from the press conference that the fourth phase of China's lunar exploration project and planetary exploration project will be implemented one after another with the complete success of the Chang 'e V mission as the starting point.

At present, Tian Wen-1, the first Mars exploration mission, is on the journey of fire. Chang 'e-6, Chang 'e-7, Chang 'e-8, asteroid exploration, Mars sampling return, Jupiter system exploration and other engineering tasks will also be implemented as planned.

The significance of Chang 'e V

Chang 'e V completed 1 docking, 6 separations, 2 sampling methods and 5 sample transfers, and went through 1 1 main stages and key steps, which are interlocking. 165438+1On October 24th, Long March 5 was successfully launched on time. After that, the probe moved to the moon, braked in recent months, separated every two, landed on the moon smoothly, sampled on the drilling floor, took off on the moon surface, rendezvous and docking, transferred samples, waited around the moon, moved the moon, and returned again today to land safely. The whole engineering task has now entered a new stage of scientific research.

The Chang 'e V mission created five China firsts, namely, the sampling and packaging of extraterrestrial objects, the ignition and take-off of extraterrestrial objects and accurate orbit entry, the unmanned rendezvous and docking of lunar orbit and sample transfer, the re-entry of lunar samples into the atmosphere at the second cosmic speed, and the establishment of the storage, analysis and research system of lunar samples in China.

Wu Yanhua said that the successful implementation of this mission is a new milestone in the development of China's space industry, which indicates that China has the ability to go back and forth between the earth and the moon, and has achieved the perfect ending of the three-step plan of "circling, falling and returning", laying a solid foundation for China's future exploration of the moon and planets.

Upstream news-it's arranged! In the future, China will also carry out Mars sampling return and Jupiter system exploration.
