At 1750 Hours Hong Kong Beijing Time  on a very clear 29th March Tuesday 2022 2022, China- People’s Republic of China- CNSA –China National Space Administration   Successfully launched  the New Next Generation Long March 6 Chang Zheng 6 carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center Shanxi Province …… modified carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, carrying the Pujiang 2 and The Tiankun-2 satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The launch vehicle is a new generation of non-toxic and non-polluting launch vehicle in China – People’s Republic of China. It is the first solid bundled launch vehicle in my country and is used to launch satellites in sun-synchronous orbit. The Pujiang-2 satellite is mainly used for scientific experimental research, land and resources census and other tasks, and the Tiankun-2 satellite is mainly used for the experimental verification of space environment detection technology. This mission is the 412th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles.

The Chang Zheng6A Long March 6A modified carrier rocket was developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aviation and is the first solid-liquid bundled carrier rocket in China – People’s Republic of China. This mission is the 412th launch of China – People’s Republic of China Chang Zheng- Long March series of launch vehicles.

Hong Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Changliu, said in an interview that through the adjustment of the boosters in the future, the Chang Zheng6A -Long March 6A reform can form a single-core stage, bundle 2 solid boosters, bundle 4 solid boosters, and bundle a universal core stage. and other configurations to form a series of launch vehicles with a wide range of carrying capabilities, reasonable gradients and high cost performance, to meet the diverse and intensive launch requirements of future satellites.

The Chang Zheng6A -Long March 6A modified carrier rocket adopts a two-stage and a half configuration. The core first-stage power system has a diameter of 3.35 meters and is composed of two 120-ton thrust liquid oxygen kerosene engines in parallel. Pressure medium; the core secondary power system has a diameter of 3.35 meters and is equipped with a liquid oxygen kerosene engine with a thrust of 18 tons. The single flight working time of the engine exceeds 500 seconds; the auxiliary power YF-86A auxiliary power system consists of 18 thrust Composed of 200N and 40N attitude control engines, it provides rolling torque for the second stage of the rocket during flight, and provides pitch, yaw and rolling impulses before the satellite is separated, ensuring that the satellite enters orbit with higher precision.
The total length of the whole arrow is about 50 meters, the take-off weight of the whole Chang Zheng6A -Long March 6A Carrier Rocket is about 530 tons, and the carrying capacity of the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit is not less than 4 tons. Referencing to Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology…..

The “mix and match” of solid power and liquid power is the special feature of this type of rocket. The 4 boosters of the rocket use the two-stage 120-ton thrust solid engine developed by the Fourth Academy of China Aviation, and the core stage adopts the liquid oxygen kerosene engine developed by the Sixth Academy of China Airlines, which gives full play to the high performance, long working time and solid engine of the liquid engine.  The advantages of large thrust and simple use and maintenance. The successful first flight of the rocket marks that my country has made breakthroughs in key technologies such as the binding and separation technology of solid boosters, the technology of large concentrated force diffusion at the binding point, and the combined rocking control of solid-liquid binding.

With a brand new “smart launch site complexes” has been put into use, and the new station has been adapted and transformed to be able to launch Seven types of Chang Zheng Long march carrier rocket of launch vehicles During the first flight mission of Chang Zheng 6A Long March 6A, China – People’s Republic of China built the first satellite launch center in Taiyuan. The “smart launch site” was also put into use for the first time, realizing remote control and unattended operation from Carrier Rocket filling to launching.

About four hours before launch, ground personnel were evacuated from under the tower. In the remote control room about two kilometers away from the tower, operators in positions such as air conditioners, platforms, and pendulums keep their eyes on the screen and closely monitor the status of the rocket. Xue Weijun, commander of the intelligent launch site system of Taiyuan Satellite Launch: Before the intelligent launch site was put into use, most of the ground equipment operations were completed by the front-end staff, and the evacuation could only be carried out 15 minutes before the rocket launch.  Unattended mode  only need to remotely control and monitor in front of the computer terminal, to ensure the normal operation of each work.

The construction of the new launch tower will be completed in 2021, and this is the first time it has been put into use. Under the automatic operation of the system, a series of actions such as liquid oxygen filling, connector falling off, and turning platform opening of the Chang Zheng Long March Carrier rocket were successfully completed, and the rocket entered the launch state. .

Zhang Xin, Commander of Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center No. 1: The measurement and launch process management and control platform is the core of our smart launch site. The status information of the facilities and equipment of the launch site is displayed and analysed in a unified and centralized manner through intelligent, networked and informative means. The goal of being unattended during the refuelling and launching process is achieved, and the personnel at the test and launch positions are more capable. Compared with traditional launches, the smart launch site has truly achieved rapid preparation and one-click launch. The number of post personnel has been reduced by more than half, and the shortest single-launch task process can be shortened to 14 days, which is more suitable for high-density launches and emergency launch missions.

Zheng Taifeng, head of the tower of the smart launch site: The smart launch site of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center can currently carry out the launch of various types of launch vehicles from the Long March 6. After adaptive transformation, it can meet 7 different types of Long March 2 and Long March 4 series. Model launch vehicle launches capability. In the future rapid launch missions, the application value of the smart launch site will be brought into full play…

#CNSA #ChinaNationalSpaceAdministration #国家航天局 |#BeltAndRoadinitiative #October2021 | #嫦娥五号The #Moon #Change5 probe its Heroic Lunar Mission from #MonsRumker #LunaExploration #Chang’e5 Research lunar samples refreshing Traditional Understanding of Lunar Evolution…

On October 19th Thursday 2021, the Chinese Academy of Sciences  released the latest research results of the Chang’e-5 lunar scientific research samples. A number of breakthroughs have given a new understanding of the evolution of the moon. The research results of the lunar samples of Chang’e 5 show that magma activity still existed on the moon until 2 billion years ago. The lunar mantle source area of ​​late magma activity is not rich in radioactive heat-generating elements and is very “dry”. This series of research is led by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Astronomical Observatory, and jointly carried out by a number of research institutions. The related results have formed 4 papers, one published in the “National Science Review”, and published in the international academic journal “Nature” 3 articles.

The duration and geochemical characteristics of the lunar basalt magma are the “keys” for understanding the thermal-chemical evolution of the moon. Previous studies have confirmed that magma activity on the moon lasted at least approximately 2.8 to 3 billion years ago. However, there has been controversy in the scientific community about the exact time when the lunar magma activity ceased. The study found that the lunar sample of Chang’e 5 is a new type of lunar basalt, which is different from the lunar samples collected and returned by the United States and the Soviet Union. Researchers analyzed more than 50 uranium-rich minerals in the basalt cuttings of the Chang’e 5 lunar sample and determined that the basalt formation age was 20.30±0.04 billion years, indicating that there was still magma activity on the moon until 2 billion years ago, which is more than the limit of previous lunar samples. Magma activity has been extended for about 800 million years.

​10月19日,中国科学院发布嫦娥五号月球科研样品最新研究成果,多项突破性进展给出了对月球演化的全新认识。嫦娥五号月球样品研究结果显示,月球直到20亿年前仍存在岩浆活动,晚期岩浆活动的月幔源区并不富含放射性生热元素,而且非常“干”。该系列研究由中国科学院地质与地球物理研究所和国家天文台主导,联合多家研究机构共同开展,相关成果形成4篇论文,在《国家科学评论》发表1篇,在国际学术期刊《自然》发表3篇。

月海玄武岩浆的持续时间和地球化学特征是理解月球热-化学演化的“钥匙”。此前的研究已证实,月球岩浆活动至少持续到大约28亿至30亿年前。但对于月球岩浆活动停止的确切时间,科学界一直存在争议。研究发现,嫦娥五号月球样品为一类新的月海玄武岩,不同于美国和苏联采集返回的月球样品。科研人员对嫦娥五号月球样品玄武岩岩屑中50余颗富铀矿物进行分析,确定玄武岩形成年龄为20.30±0.04亿年,表明月球直到20亿年前仍存在岩浆活动,比以往月球样品限定的岩浆活动延长了约8亿年。

The cause of the most recent magmatic activity on the Moon has always been an unsolved mystery. At present, there are two possible explanations in the scientific community: the lunar mantle source is rich in radioactive elements to provide a heat source, or the lunar mantle is rich in water to lower its melting point. The latest study found that the lunar mantle source area of ​​the basalt from the lunar sample of Chang’e 5 is not enriched in “Krip material.” Since the “Krip material” is rich in radioactive heat-generating elements, this result proves that the radioactive heat-generating elements of the lunar mantle are not the main reason for the formation of the basalt of the Chang’e-5 lunar sample. Regarding whether the magma source area is rich in water, the research team measured the water content and hydrogen isotopic composition in the basalt of the Chang’e 5 lunar sample, and found that the water content in the lunar mantle source area was only 1 to 5 micrograms/g, which means that the lunar mantle Very “dry”. This discovery also excludes the hypothesis that the lunar mantle is rich in water and has a low melting point, resulting in an abnormally prolonged duration of magma activity in this area.

月球最晚期岩浆活动的成因一直是未解之谜,目前科学界存在两种可能的解释:月幔源区富含放射性元素以提供热源,或月幔富含水从而降低其熔点。最新研究发现,嫦娥五号月球样品玄武岩的月幔源区并不富集“克里普物质”。由于“克里普物质”富含放射性生热元素,这一结果证明月幔放射性生热元素并不是形成嫦娥五号月球样品玄武岩的主要原因。对于岩浆源区是否富含水,科研团队测定了嫦娥五号月球样品玄武岩中的水含量和氢同位素组成,发现月幔源区的水含量仅为1至5微克/克,也就是说月幔非常“干”。这一发现也排除了月幔富水而具有低熔点,导致该区域岩浆活动持续时间异常延长的猜想。

The cuttings are mainly composed of olivine (Ol), It is composed of pyroxene (Px), feldspar (Pl) and ilmenite (Ilm), and a small amount of iron olivine (Fa), meteorite (Tro), spinel (Sp), apatite (Apa) and Quartz (Q).

(B) The figure shows the melt inclusion (MI) surrounded by ilmenite. 
(C) and (d) show that apatite is mainly produced in the intergranular area and is euhedral or semi-automorphic

According to the hypothesis of the origin of the big impact, the original Earth collided with a planetary planet the size of Mars, forming a “disk” composed of high-temperature magma and gas around the earth. When the temperature begins to cool, materials such as silicate first gather to form the moon (Figure 1), and water is a highly volatile material that escapes into space in a gaseous form and is lost. Therefore, the moon born in this way contains almost no water and is a nearly dry planet. The research results of the lunar samples of Chang’e 5 further provided supporting evidence for the origin and evolution of the moon, raised new scientific questions for the study of the lunar thermal evolution history, and proposed new directions for future lunar exploration and research.

We welcome domestic and foreign scientists to join the ranks of the research on these data and samples. At present, research on lunar samples is mainly carried out by domestic scientific research institutions, and foreign scientists have joined the Chinese team to carry out joint research. In the follow-up, we will issue relevant policies, uphold the principles of “equality and mutual benefit, peaceful use, and inclusive development”, expand international exchanges and cooperation, and provide more Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese power for the peaceful use of space and the promotion of a community with a shared future for mankind.

根据大撞击起源假说,原始地球与一个火星大小的星子碰撞,形成了一个围绕地球的、由高温岩浆和气体组成的“盘”。当温度开始冷却时,硅酸盐等物质首先聚集形成月球(图1),而水属于强挥发的物质,会以气态形式向太空逃逸而丢失。因此,这种方式诞生的月球,几乎不含水,是一个近乎干透了的星球。嫦娥五号月球样品的研究成果进一步为月球起源及演变提供了支撑证据,为月球热演化历史研究提出了新的科学问题,对未来的月球探测和研究提出了新的方向。

我们欢迎国内外科学家加入对这些数据和样品的研究行列。目前,月球样品研究主要由国内科研机构牵头开展,也有国外的科学家加入中国团队开展联合研究。后续,我们将出台相关政策,秉持“平等互利、和平利用、包容发展”的原则,扩大国际交流与合作,为人类和平利用太空、推动人类命运共同体提供更多中国智慧、中国方案、中国力量。

#CNSA #ChinaNationalSpaceAdministration #国家航天局 |#BeltAndRoadinitiative #CLEP #January2021 | #VonKarmanCrater #LunarMission #Change4 #Yutu2 Lunar adventuring 628.47 Meters #LunaExploration Summary of 746-day scientific research results reveal micro-scale thermal radiation characteristics of the moon….

 

As of 20th January 2021 Wednesday, The CNSA –China National Space AdministrationCLEP- China Luna Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission……Chang’e-4 successfully awakened and entered the 26th day of the work period….Chang’e 4 enters the 26th moon night] The Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover completed the 26th day of the month at 21:10 and 14:06 on January 20, and were set up according to ground instructions. Enter the moonlit night dormancy. Up to now, the Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover have worked on the moon for 749 earth days, with a cumulative mileage of 628.47 meters.

The Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover completed the 26th day of the month at 21:10 and 14:06 on January 20, completed the set-up according to ground instructions, and entered moon-night sleep. Up to now, the Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover have worked on the moon for 749 earth days, with a cumulative mileage of 628.47 meters.

Based on the first-hand data obtained by the Chang’e-4 mission, the scientific research team continues to achieve scientific results. The team of researcher Wu Yunzhao from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences took a different approach and used the visible near-infrared spectrometer (VNIS) to study the thermal radiation characteristics, obtained the thermal radiation characteristics of the moon on the micro-scale, and performed thermal correction of the spectrum, and related results were published….. In Geophysical Research Letters…

Researcher Wu Yunzhao first discovered the existence of thermal radiation in the spectral data of Chang’e-3 (Wu and Hapke, 2018). The first-month diurnal spectrum data of Chang’e-4 confirmed the discovery, and the tenth day fixed-point measurement provided more observational support. Figure 1 shows that after 2 μm, the spectral uplift gradually strengthens as the sun rises, and gradually decreases as the sun sinks. On the one hand, this discovery helps to interpret spectral data correctly, and on the other hand, it expands the application of spectrometers, not only for studying minerals, but also for studying the thermal radiation of the moon. This study shows that even in the 2 μm and mid-latitude mineral inversion studies, thermal correction is required….

Even in the pure thermal radiation region, the solution of temperature and emissivity is an under-determined equation, while the mid-infrared has both reflection and thermal emission, and temperature solution is more complicated. The study found that, in addition to the material composition, the heat radiation characteristics are significantly affected by the micro-scale roughness (Figure 2). In addition to the phase angle, the influence of the relative azimuth angle between the observation and the incident is very obvious (Figure 3). The two-way roughness slope of the micro-scale topography of the Chang’e-4 lunar soil is 22°-24°.

In the past, the research on the temperature characteristics of the lunar surface was mainly based on macro-satellite remote sensing data, and the wavelength was in the thermal infrared band. This research carried out for the first time the micro-scale and short-wave thermal radiation characteristics of lunar soil, which is of great significance for mid-infrared research. The spectrum used in this study has the superposition of solar reflection and the moon’s own thermal radiation. There are great difficulties in spectral analysis and application, and it is a spectral region that has relatively little research. The mid-infrared spectrum is very useful. Water, OH, organic matter, and minerals have discriminative spectral characteristics in the mid-infrared, and they are the key spectrum for detecting extraterrestrial life substances…

嫦娥四号进入第26月夜,研究成果揭示月球微尺度热辐射特性

​​     嫦娥四号着陆器和“玉兔二号”月球车分别于1月20日21时10分和14时06分完成第26月昼工作,按地面指令完成设置,进入月夜休眠。截至目前,嫦娥四号着陆器和“玉兔二号”月球车已在月面工作749个地球日,累计行驶里程628.47米。

     科研团队根据嫦娥四号任务获取的第一手数据,持续取得科学成果。中国科学院紫金山天文台吴昀昭研究员团队另辟蹊径,将可见光近红外光谱仪(VNIS)用于热辐射特性研究,获得了月球在微尺度上的热辐射特性,并对光谱进行了热校正,相关成果发表在Geophysical Research Letters。

    吴昀昭研究员首次在嫦娥三号光谱数据发现有热辐射存在(Wu and Hapke, 2018)。嫦娥四号第一月昼光谱数据证实了该发现,第十月昼定点测量给出了更多的观测支持。图1可见,2μm后光谱抬升随着太阳升高而逐渐加强,随着太阳下沉而逐渐降低。该发现一方面有助于正确解译光谱数据,另一方面拓展了光谱仪应用,不仅可用于研究矿物,还可用于研究月球的热辐射。该研究表明即便在2 μm且中纬度地区的矿物反演研究也需要进行热校正。

     即便纯热辐射区,温度与发射率的求解也是欠定方程,而中红外既存在反射又存在热发射,温度求解更为复杂。研究发现,除了物质成分外,热辐射特性受微尺度粗糙度显著影响(图2)。除了相角,观测与入射相对方位角的影响非常明显(图3)。获得了嫦娥四号月壤微尺度地形双向粗糙度斜率为22° – 24°。

过去对月表温度特性的研究主要是宏观卫星遥感数据,波长上是热红外波段。本研究首次开展了微观尺度和短波方面的月壤热辐射特性研究,对于中红外研究具有重要意义。本次研究所用谱段存在太阳反射与月球自身热辐射叠加,光谱解析及应用存在较大困难,是研究相对较少的光谱区。而中红外谱段非常有用,水、OH、有机质、矿物在中红外有判断性光谱特征,是探测地外生命物质的关键谱段。
