2022-04-24
Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, said in an exclusive interview with CCTV reporters that after the successful completion of the first Mars exploration mission of tianwen-1, the planetary exploration project will start the exploration of asteroids in the next step. The Chinese people will go further in exploring the universe. Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration: the state has approved the planetary exploration project. The planetary exploration project includes the first Mars exploration mission of tianwen-1, and the next asteroid exploration, including the exploration mission of sampling and return. Third, we will also carry out sampling return to Mars. The fourth is the exploration of Jupiter system and some exploration through the universe. Wu Yanhua said that the planetary exploration project is planned to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. In addition, China is still demonstrating the medium and long-term development strategic planning, such as the detection of the edge of the solar system and so on. Facing deeper and farther space, multiple launch vehicles, including heavy rockets, are also in the development stage and are expected to complete their first flight in the next few years. Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration: the space stage can be expanded as wide as the carrying capacity is. Heavy carrier is a common name. In fact, it refers to the low earth orbit capacity of 100 tons. It includes the capacity between 50 tons and 150 tons. It will also be a type spectrum planning. Wu Yanhua said that in the future, the heavy carrier rocket will meet China's major space missions such as deep space exploration and manned lunar landing for a long time. Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration: for example, we are also demonstrating whether to carry out manned lunar landing, whether to launch large space solar power plants, for example, whether to launch larger exploration equipment on Mars, including exploration vehicles. These loads need the support of some large rockets. (Xinhua News Agency)
