Lunar exploration plays an important role in China's scientific research at this stage. It is one of China's 16 major scientific and technological projects together with manned spaceflight. At present, China has completed the three-stage task of detour and return in lunar exploration. According to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, the fourth phase of China's lunar exploration project has also been approved, and the next phase IV plan of lunar exploration will be carried out gradually. The future fourth lunar exploration phase includes three exploration missions of Chang'e 6, Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 (Chang'e 4 also belongs to the fourth lunar exploration phase, but has been implemented). It will be implemented inland in the next decade. At present, the implementation sequence is tentatively determined to launch Chang'e 7 probe to the South pole of the lunar sphere to carry out relevant scientific research and exploration such as landform and soil composition, Then launch the backup of chang'e-5 - chang'e-6 to the south pole of the moon. It will perform a lunar soil sampling and return mission similar to chang'e-5, and then launch chang'e-8. It will build the basic type of lunar scientific research station. It is noteworthy that its construction plan will be 8 years ahead of the original plan. The construction plan of the lunar scientific research station was originally to 2035, but at present, the relevant principals of China and Russia have said that this plan will be built or even completed at least 8 years in advance, that is, around 2027. The lunar scientific research station project will be jointly built by China and Russia. The two countries have signed a cooperation co construction and operation agreement, which is also conducive to reducing costs and improving the ability to deal with risks. The earlier agreement set the time for the construction of the scientific research station in the mid-1930s, i.e. about 2035. However, now it has been changed to 2027. Why should it be 8 years ahead of schedule? Here we have to talk about the "Artemis" return to the moon program launched by the United States. The "Artemis program" was officially approved by the United States in 2017. It is planned to send American astronauts to the moon in 2024 and build some large facilities on the lunar orbit and surface. After the project is approved, the United States has invited a group of "little brothers", including 11 countries such as Britain, Australia, Japan and Canada, to help invest and contribute, And stand in line to formulate rules for future lunar activities, which is the later Artemis agreement, which stipulates that the government or private companies will be allowed to establish a so-called safety zone on the lunar surface, which will prohibit other countries or private companies from entering it, nominally to protect their facilities or "heritage", In fact, it is to "run a horse and enclosure". This is really overbearing. Zhang Chongfeng, deputy chief designer of China's manned space program, said that this challenges the existing international agreements, including the UN moon agreement, because the moon belongs to all mankind, not a specific party. In response, he said in a paper published in Shanghai Aerospace in June that China will take some forward-looking measures and decide to deploy lunar exploration missions such as lunar research stations in advance in response to the hegemonic plan of the United States, Japan and other countries. The lunar research station will be a nuclear powered lunar research station. It will be placed on the lunar south pole lunar surface as an unmanned equipment. When the manned lunar landing project is implemented, astronauts will be able to settle in the lunar research station. Its role is like that of a space station in space, which can meet the long-term residence of astronauts. The lunar scientific research station will also be equipped with a mobile base station, which can also be said to be a large lunar rover. It can walk freely on the lunar surface for a long time. Its walking and detection work can be controlled through its own and the signal transmitting and receiving equipment of the lunar scientific research station. The detection data can be forwarded by the lunar scientific research station to the relay satellite and then transmitted back to the earth, So it is also a large mobile detection equipment. Above and below are Lexus's lunar car concept map When astronauts come to the lunar research station, they can also take this lunar rover to walk quickly on the lunar surface, so it is equivalent to the first car to reach the lunar surface in China, which can walk at least more than 1000 kilometers. If we have to compete in the "horse race enclosure", we won't lose to anyone. (Xinhua News Agency)
