At 17:27 on May 3rd Friday 2024 Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration, the Chang’e-6 probe was successfully launched by the Long March 5 Yao-8 carrier rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China., and accurately entered the Earth-moon transfer orbit. The launch mission was a complete success. The Chang’e-6 probe has embarked on the world’s first return journey for sampling from the far side of the moon. The pre-selected landing and sampling area is the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon.
About 37 minutes after the Long March 5 Yao-8 carrier rocket flew, the rocket separated, sending the Chang’e-6 probe directly into the predetermined Earth-moon transfer orbit with a perigee altitude of 200 kilometers and an apogee altitude of about 380,000 kilometers. The Chang’e-6 probe consists of an orbiter, returner, lander, and ascender. Subsequently, with the support of ground measurement and control and the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the Chang’e-6 probe will undergo processes such as earth-moon transfer, near-moon braking, orbiting the moon, landing and descent, and soft landing on the lunar surface, and finally reach a pre-selected area on the far side of the moon. Collect lunar surface rock and soil samples, and conduct scientific exploration at the same time. After completing the sampling and packaging, the ascender will take off from the lunar surface, then carry out lunar orbit rendezvous and docking and transfer the samples to the returner; the returner will undergo processes such as moon-to-earth transfer, approaching the second cosmic speed and re-entering the earth, and finally carry precious Lunar samples returned to Earth.
During the filming break, an aerospace worker told me that once she went to the Xichang launch base to visit an old leader. When the satellite was being transferred from the factory to the rocket assembly, she saw the chief engineer of the satellite kissing the satellite deeply and running after him. Follow the satellite and take pictures all the way. I burst into tears at that time…
The launch of each satellite is like a child bidding farewell to his homeland, embarking on a journey alone with no return, bidding farewell to Mother Earth, and rushing to the unknown and vast universe!
At that moment, I realized how affectionate, tender, sentimental, and heroic this undertaking is, like the sky, like the ocean, like the storm, like the boiling rain of time…
Chang’e-6 was successfully launched! Move forward with a heavy load and pay tribute to China Aerospace!
