China Aerospace Bureau: The fourth phase of the lunar exploration project has been est

China ’s lunar exploration project has made new progress. China’ s National Aerospace Administration announced that the fourth phase of the monthly exploration project has been approved by the state. It will launch three unmanned driving tasks to the moon in the future and establish the basic type of international moon scientific research stations.

According to CCTV News on Saturday (September 10), Liu Jizhong, director of the China National Space Administration Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center, said that the fourth -phase mission of the moon exploration project has been approved by the state.

The fourth issue of the lunar exploration project includes Chang'e 6, Chang'e VII and Chang'e -8, which will be implemented in the next ten years.Among them, Chang'e -6 is the backup of Chang'e 5, which has the function of sampling and returns. It will go to the back of the moon to perform tasks.

Liu Jizhong introduced that the fourth phase of the monthly exploration project is also progressing smoothly. Chang'e 6 products have basically completed. Chang'e VII is under development.Basic type of moon scientific research station.

He said that the purpose of this task was to lay the foundation for the scientific research station of the moon.He also admits that there are still many technologies that need to be related, and at the same time, the energy of the moon needs to be surveyed. The challenge is very large, but there is an excellent team that believes that they can finally succeed.

In recent years, China has begun to focus on the space, not only frequently sends a detector to the moon, but also plans to establish the "Tiangong" space station and the national space laboratory in space.China cannot avoid competing with the United States.
