On 17th December 2020 very early morning Hong Kong -Beijing Thursday, the Beijing flight control team of the CNSA China National Space Administration- CLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Mons Rumker Luna Mission …..Chang’e-5 probe successfully completed China’s first extraterrestrial celestial body sampling and return mission…. At 1:59 Hong Kong –Beijing Time on December 17th early hours morning Thursday, the lunar exploration project Chang’e-5 returner successfully landed in the planned area of ​​Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia, marking The mission of sampling and returning to China’s first extraterrestrial body was successfully completed.

 

At about 1 am, the Beijing Space Flight Control Center injected high-precision navigation parameters into the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination through the ground measurement and control station. After that, the orbiter and the returner were normally unlocked and separated at a height of about 5,000 kilometers above the sea level of the South Atlantic, and the orbiter completed the evasion manoeuvre as planned. At 1:33 in the morning, the Chang’e-5 returner entered the Earth’s atmosphere at a high speed close to the second cosmic speed (about 11.2 kilometers per second) at a height of about 120 kilometers above the ground, and performed the first aerodynamic deceleration. After descending to a predetermined height, the retractor jumps up out of the atmosphere and begins to glide down after reaching the highest point. After that, the returner enters the atmosphere again and performs a second aerodynamic deceleration. When descending to a height of about 10 kilometers above the ground, the retractor opened the parachute to complete the final deceleration and maintain a stable attitude, and then landed smoothly in the predetermined area. The technical personnel of the measurement, control and recovery system responsible for the search and recovery task discover the target in time and carry out the recovery work in an orderly manner.

 

 According to the plan, the recovered Chang’e-5 returner will be airlifted to Beijing to open the cabin after completing the necessary ground handling work to take out the sample container and the cargo. CNSA China National Space Administration will select the opportunity to hold a handover ceremony to officially hand over lunar samples to the ground application system. It’s is the first China- People’s Republic of China  first extraterrestrial celestial body sample storage, analysis, and research related work will also start.

During the duration of monitoring   and tracking …..Huashan, the forecast of the landing point has been issued…….At around 2 o’clock on December 17 Thursday, 2020, in the command hall of the Technical Department of the Xi’an Satellite Measurement and Control Center, tracking the progress successfully escorted the Chang’e 5, which had been traveling in space for 23 days, back to the embrace of returning to  China ! It is understood that in this mission, the Xi’an Center is mainly responsible for high-precision orbit determination, long-range guidance strategy calculation for lunar orbit rendezvous and docking, calculation of lunar ascent windows, and lunar return to landing prediction. Among them, the calculation of the long-range guidance strategy of the lunar orbital rendezvous and docking and the calculation of the lunar ascent window are the first in my country…

Also during the Duration Tracking is also Yuanwang 3 ship will escort Chang’e 5 through a term for re-entry as the “black barrier”…. When Chang’e 5 returns, it will use the “earth-moon free return orbit” landing technology commonly known as the “drift” orbit. Because it is close to the second universe speed, It will enter the black barrier due to high-speed flight and atmospheric friction, and in the black barrier area will bounce up under the block of the dense atmosphere, be “bounced” back into space by the upper atmosphere, and then enter the atmosphere again for normal landing. At present, the Yuanwang 3 ship is in the Indian Ocean mission area to prepare for the telemetry, external survey, and optical measurement missions near the “black barrier” of the Chang’e-5 returner’s first re-entry into the atmosphere…..

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿 …….As of the early morning Monday of 14th December, 2020, CNSA – China National Space Administration- ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen-1 …….Tianwen-1 probe is more than 100 million kilometers away from the earth] It is learned from the National Space Administration that as of 21:00 Hong Kong – Beijing Time on December 14, the Tianwen-1 probe has been in orbit for 144 days, with a flight mileage of approximately 360 million kilometers, and is far from the earth. Over 100 million kilometers, about 12 million kilometers away from Mars, the flight is in good condition. Affected by the laws of movement of celestial bodies, the distance between Mars and the Earth varies periodically from 50 million kilometers to more than 400 million kilometers. When the Tianwen-1 rover arrived near Mars, it was about 190 million kilometers away from Earth. Since the launch of Tianwen 1 on July 23, it has successfully completed a group photo of the earth and the moon, “Selfie” of the probe, three midway corrections, a deep-space maneuver, and payload self-check. In the follow-up, several orbit corrections will be carried out. It is expected that after approaching Mars in mid-February next year, “brake” braking will be implemented to enter the ring fire orbit in preparation for Mars landing. (杨璐戚铁磊) #Tianwen 1 probe is more than 100 million kilometers away from the earth 我们的空间…… In the follow-up, Tianwen-1 will conduct several orbit corrections. It is expected to “brake” after approaching Mars in February next year and implement braking into the ring fire orbit.

The hometown is far away and the goal is getting closer. 100 million kilometers is equivalent to 2,499 the length of the earth’s equator. Now, Tianwen-1 is flying to Mars at a ground speed of 17.4 kilometers per second…….

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿 …….As of the previously morning Tuesday of November 17th, 2020, CNSA – China National Space Administration- ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen-1, has been in orbit for 116 days, with a flight mileage of more than 300 million kilometers. The earth is approximately 63.8 million kilometers. The detector’s attitude is stable, the energy is balanced, some sub-systems have completed self-checking, and each system is working normally.

During its orbital flight, Tianwen-1 has completed three midway corrections and one deep-space maneuver and other flight control tasks. In early November, the landing patrol vehicle entry module and multiple sub-systems of the Mars rover completed the first on-orbit self-check, and the results were normal.

Tianwen-1 is scheduled to reach Mars in February 2021 and carry out Mars capture. In May 2021, it will choose an opportunity to de-orbit, and the landing patrol will be separated from the orbiter, soft landing on the surface of Mars, the rover will leave the landing platform, and the inspection will be carried out…. For the Martian exploration..

Previously On the 9th October 2020 Friday 2300 hours Beijing time CNSA – China National Space Administration that under the control of the flight control team of China’s first Mars exploration mission, the main engine of the Tianwen-1 probe was ignited. In more than 480 seconds, the deep space maneuver was successfully completed. The orbital maneuver was carried out in deep space approximately 29.4 million kilometers from the earth. The orbit design of Tianwen-1 comprehensively considered various constraints from launch to Mars capture and made the propellant consumption as small as possible, and adopted the strategy of a deep space maneuver during the transfer process. The probe will rendezvous with Mars about 4 months after its current orbit, during which two or three midway corrections will be implemented……

Previous the last course correction … during On October 1st 2020, as China- People’s Republic of China also throughout the Chinese also the Asian Communities celebrates the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival; CNSA China National Space Administration released China’s first Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1 exploration….. The image of the CNSA Belt and Road Initiative European Space Agency collaboration Martian Probe flying, the five-star red flag on the picture is dazzling, showing a bright Chinese red. This is the first deep space self-portrait of our country 天问一号 Martian probe. In the vast universe, the silver landing patrol device and the golden orbiter are shining brightly. Tianwen No.1 uses this to report safety to China and express birthday wishes.

As we all know, when taking selfies on the ground, you can use auxiliary tools such as selfie sticks to shoot after choosing the angle, light and shadow, but the selfie of “Tianwen No. 1” is not that simple. Due to its large size, if the selfie stick strategy is adopted, “Tianwen No.1” needs to use a 15-meter-long selfie stick to achieve a full-view selfie, which not only consumes resources, but is also prone to safety risks. For this reason, the Mars Orbiter Engineering Survey Sub-system Team of the Eighth Academy of Sciences proposed a “separated monitoring plan”, which is to “throw out” a light camera under suitable lighting conditions to take pictures of “Tianwen No. 1” and transmit the images in real time. Go back to the “Tianwen No. 1” probe.

Have you seen a one-time dual-head super wifi camera?………In order to successfully implement the separate monitoring program, the Eighth Academy Mars Orbiter Engineering Measurement Sub-system team needs a little guy who can “divide, shoot clearly, pass back, and hold on”: use a small, small, low-impact unlocking separation device The camera can be “divided out”; the use of colour imaging, the configuration of 800×600, 1600X1200 two-level resolution camera allows the image to be “clearly captured”; the use of super Wi-Fi communication that can achieve 400 meters of wireless communication allows data “Passed back”; the use of disposable batteries that can provide power for longer than 1 hour allows the camera to “hold on”, allowing the ground to see the full picture of the “Tianwen No. 1” rushing to the fire.

Considering that the camera may turn over as it gradually moves away from the detector, the development team designed the camera as a dual-headed front and back to ensure that the camera can capture as many detector images as possible during the turning process. After four years of research and development, this little guy weighing about 950g successfully carried the “Tianwen-1” Mars probe into space, and successfully separated the head weighing about 680g, and obtained a clear image. Successfully completed the overall visual monitoring task of “Tianwen No. 1”

The name “Tianwen”: 天問 ….. Comes from the long poem of the same name written by Qu Yuan (about 340–278 BC), one of the greatest poets of Ancient China. It is a poem of a series of questions starting with how the universe was created.

Previously On 3rd December 2020 Thursday, the Beijing flight control team of the China National Space Administration- CLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Mons Rumker Luna Mission – At 23:10 Hong Kong Beijing time on December 3rd Thursday 2020, the 3000N engine of the Chang’e-5 ascender worked for about 6 minutes and successfully sent the ascender carrying the sample to the scheduled orbit around the moon. This is the first time that my country has realized the take-off of an extraterrestrial body.

Unlike ground take-off, the Chang’e-5 ascender does not have a mature launch tower system for lunar take-off. The lander is equivalent to the “temporary tower” of the ascender. The plume diversion space is limited and the earth-moon environment is different; in addition, because there is no navigation constellation on the moon, after the ascender takes off, it needs to use its own special sensors to realize autonomous positioning and attitude determination with the help of ground measurement and control.

Before taking off, the upper assembly is used to realize the deployment of the lunar flag and the unlocking and separation of the ascender and the lander. This national flag deployment is the first time that my country has achieved an “independent display” of the national flag on the surface of the moon. In the photo, the national flag in the hands of “Chang’e” is shining in the sun, and the “Chinese red” on the moon is particularly bright. After igniting take-off, the ascender undergoes three stages of vertical ascent, attitude adjustment and orbit injection, and enters the scheduled orbit around the moon. Subsequently, the ascender will rendezvous and dock with the orbital assembly waiting around the moon and transfer the lunar sample to the returner, which will wait for a suitable lunar-earth entrance window to prepare for its return to Earth.

飞离月球——嫦娥五号上升器进入预定轨道 实现我国首次地外天体起飞

12月3日23时10分，嫦娥五号上升器3000N发动机工作约6分钟，成功将携带样品的上升器送入到预定环月轨道。这是我国首次实现地外天体起飞。

与地面起飞不同，嫦娥五号上升器月面起飞不具备成熟的发射塔架系统，着陆器相当于上升器的“临时塔架”，上升器起飞面临起飞初始基准与起飞平台姿态不确定、发动机羽流导流空间受限、地月环境差异等挑战；另外由于月球上没有导航星座，上升器起飞后，需在地面测控辅助下，借助自身携带的特殊敏感器实现自主定位、定姿。

点火起飞前，着上组合体实现月面国旗展开以及上升器、着陆器的解锁分离。此次国旗展开是我国在月球表面首次实现国旗的“独立展示”，照片中“嫦娥”手中的国旗在阳光的照耀下，月球上的一抹“中国红”格外鲜艳。点火起飞后，上升器经历垂直上升、姿态调整和轨道射入三个阶段，进入预定环月飞行轨道。随后，上升器将与环月等待的轨返组合体交会对接，将月球样品转移到返回器，后者将等待合适的月地入射窗口，做好返回地球的准备。

12月3日23时10分，嫦娥五号上升器3000N发动机工作约6分钟，成功将携带样品的上升器送入到预定环月轨道。这是我国首次实现地外天体起飞。

与地面起飞不同，嫦娥五号上升器月面起飞不具备成熟的发射塔架系统，着陆器相当于上升器的“临时塔架”，上升器起飞面临起飞初始基准与起飞平台姿态不确定、发动机羽流导流空间受限、地月环境差异等挑战；另外由于月球上没有导航星座，上升器起飞后，需在地面测控辅助下，借助自身携带的特殊敏感器实现自主定位、定姿。

点火起飞前，着上组合体实现月面国旗展开以及上升器、着陆器的解锁分离。此次国旗展开是我国在月球表面首次实现国旗的“独立展示”，照片中“嫦娥”手中的国旗在阳光的照耀下，月球上的一抹“中国红”格外鲜艳。点火起飞后，上升器经历垂直上升、姿态调整和轨道射入三个阶段，进入预定环月飞行轨道。随后，上升器将与环月等待的轨返组合体交会对接，将月球样品转移到返回器，后者将等待合适的月地入射窗口，做好返回地球的准备。

On  the 10th December 2020 Thursday early mid-morning  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China successfully launched the All-Sky Monitor Satellite for Gravitational Wave Storm High-Energy Electromagnetic Correspondence  At 4:14 Hong Kong – Beijing time  on December 10, 2020, China used the International Icon Long March 11 –Chang Zheng carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center- Sichuan Province to using on carrier rocket launching and two satellites”. The all-sky monitor satellite of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart was sent into a predetermined orbit, and the launch was a complete success….. Thursday’s launch was the 355th mission of the Long March rocket series.

The gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite is deployed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Strategic Leading Science and Technology Special Space Science (Phase II). The two small satellites adopt a conjugate orbit constellation layout, which will be used for gravitational wave gamma bursts and fast radio bursts. High-energy radiation, special gamma bursts, and magnetar explosions and other high-energy celestial explosion phenomena are monitored throughout the sky, and dense celestial bodies such as neutron stars and black holes and their merger processes are studied. In addition, the satellite will also detect space high-energy radiation phenomena such as solar flares, earth gamma flashes and earth electron beams, and provide scientific observation data for further study of their physical mechanisms.


The Chinese Academy of Sciences is responsible for the organization and implementation of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite project. The National Space Science Center is responsible for the development and construction of the general engineering and ground support system. The Institute of Microsatellite Innovation is responsible for the development of satellite systems and high-energy physics research. The unit that proposes scientific goals for the mission and is responsible for the development and construction of satellite payloads and scientific application systems. The Aerospace Information Innovation Institute is responsible for the ground reception of scientific data. The Long March 11 carrier rocket used for this launch was developed and produced by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
This mission is the 355th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets…..

During the duration of the launching Xiamen Observation and Control Station successfully completed the all-sky monitor satellite measurement and control mission of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart] “Sanya found the target, the tracking is normal!” “Xiamen double capture is completed, the telemetry signal is normal”…Beijing time December 10, 2020 At 4:14, my country used the Long March 11 carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully send the gravitational wave burst high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite into a predetermined orbit with one arrow and two stars. After the rocket lifted off, the Sanya Observation and Control Station and the Xiamen Observation and Control Station discovered and captured the target in time, completed the telemetry data reception, and accurately sent it to the Xi’an Center, successfully completing the launch, measurement and control task. The following two monitoring and control sites will also take over the monitoring and control tasks of the satellite’s early orbital segment and long-term management segment
