official news, on November 29, Shenzhou 15 will carry three astronauts to fly to the sky and complete docking with the Tiangong Space Station. At that time, the Tiangong Space Station will form a configuration of "three major cabin segments" and "three spacecraft". This also means that the construction of in my country's space station has been basically completed.
space station has been built, what will our focus next? Recently, the Aerospace Academician revealed some information, and we will aim at "deep space", and the first step in deep space is "manned landing on the moon"! Academician
has spoken, and the next step is to land on the moon!
According to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, at the main forum of the China Space Conference on November 21, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief designer of manned space engineering, Zhou Jianping said that my country's manned space will go to deep space, and the first step is to land on the moon.
As we all know, humans had completed the creation of manned moon landing as early as the last century. However, after experiencing a period of prosperity, humans have not landed on the moon for a long time. Including the beauty who wants to land on the moon now, she also uses the word "return".
Furthermore, today's moon landing is very different from the past moon landings. In the past, humans were trying to explore more of the secrets of the moon. Now, we want to establish a base on the moon as a "bridgehead" to explore deep space, and also use lunar resources.
sent astronauts to the space station more than once, and we have rich experience in the field of manned space flight. However, manned moon landing requires more accumulation at the technical level than ordinary manned spacecraft. According to Academician Zhou’s disclosure, we have completed multiple rounds of in-depth plan demonstration and completed key technical research.
In order to successfully land on the moon, we are developing a new generation of manned launch vehicles, a new generation of manned spacecraft and a lunar lander. The new generation of manned spacecraft and lunar lander will have stronger performance, higher safety and reliability, and can send 3 astronauts into orbit around the lunar and 2 astronauts to the moon.
Lunar Base
Build a scientific research base on the moon and is the ultimate goal of landing the moon. Countries such as the United States and Europe plan to build a lunar space station in lunar orbit. The function of this space station is equivalent to a transit station, which can directly launch rockets from the lunar space station to other planets such as the moon, , Mars, and . The advantage of
is that it can reduce the loss of the spacecraft, provide longer residence time, and greatly improve the flexibility and range of movement of manned spacecraft.
In comparison, my country's current plan is to detect the moon's south pole and establish an lunar scientific research station . To this end, we will launch Chang'e 6 , Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 , which is expected to be completed before 2030.
can be seen that after the Tiangong Space Station, the exploration of the moon will become a major direction for human spaceflight, and the competition in this field will also be extremely fierce. At present, our various plans are being carried out in an orderly manner, and many technologies have made breakthroughs. This time, President Zhou sent a message to overcome the key core technologies of the moon landing, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced his confidence.
Looking back on history, it took us a long time to go from being behind to catching up. The Tiangong Space Station represents our strength as the first echelon of space, and manned moon landing may be the time for us to truly catch up.
