Tianwen-1 completes the established scientific exploration mission

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿CNSA – China National Space Administration – ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen- Martian Probe One ​​​As of June 29, 2022, the Tianwen-1 mission orbiter has been flying normally for 706 days, and has acquired medium-resolution image data covering the entire world of Mars. All scientific payloads have achieved global exploration of Mars. Both the Tianwen-1 mission orbiter and the Mars rover have completed the established scientific exploration missions.

The Tianwen-1 mission was approved by the Party Central Committee in January 2016, and was successfully launched on July 23, 2020. After a deep space flight of 475 million kilometers for 202 days, the probe will rendezvous with Mars on February 10, 2021, and successfully implemented the capture and braking to enter the orbit around Mars. After 3 months of detailed inspection of the pre-selected landing area, the Mars landing was successfully carried out on May 15, 2021. On May 22, the “Zhurong” rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars and began to patrol and explore.

On August 15, 2021, the “Zhurong” rover successfully completed the 90 Martian scientific exploration missions, and continued to carry out extended exploration missions. It has traveled 1,921.5 meters on the surface of Mars. Affected by the severe winter cold and dusty weather in the landing area, the rover will enter the winter dormancy mode on May 18, 2022 as designed. Around December 2022, the “Zhurong” landing area will enter the early spring season. will resume normal work.

The orbiter has circled Mars 1,344 times, achieving global coverage and is currently in normal condition. In the follow-up, it will continue to carry out global remote sensing detection, and choose an opportunity to carry out expansion technology experiments to carry out preliminary technical verification for related tasks.

After nearly two years of flight and exploration for the Tianwen-1 mission, the 13 scientific payloads deployed by the rover and orbiter have obtained a total of about 1040GB of raw scientific data. After receiving and processing on the ground, the standard scientific data products formed are submitted to the rover on a monthly basis. A team of scientists has conducted analysis and interpretation, and relevant scientific results have been published in well-known academic journals at home and abroad. These scientific data will be open to scientists around the world at an appropriate time. Scientists around the world are welcome to actively apply for research and jointly promote the cause of human exploration of the universe.

In the spirit of open and shared cooperation, the National Space Administration actively promotes cooperation with the space agencies and scientific communities of various countries, and shares the orbital data of its Mars orbiter with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) to carry out collision warning. Cooperation; the “Zhurong” Mars rover and the European Space Agency’s “Mars Express” orbiter carry out data relay communication experiments to realize China-Europe Mars scientific data relay cooperation; Observatory stations in other countries use the Tianwen-1 orbiter and the “Mars Express” orbiter to jointly carry out occultation observations of the sun and conduct scientific research such as solar wind. These cooperation have achieved good results, enriched human knowledge, and made positive contributions to the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind in the scientific field.

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿 …….As of the early morning January 3rd 2021, CNSA – China National Space Administration- ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen- Martian Probe One …… The Tianwen-1’s flight mileage exceeded 400 million kilometers….. As of 6:00 on January 3, the Tianwen-1 probe has been in orbit for 163 earth days, with a flight mileage of over 400 million kilometers, about 130 million kilometers from the earth, and about 8.3 million kilometers. The probe has a stable attitude. According to the plan, it will implement near-fire braking in more than a month, enter the ring-fire orbit, and prepare to land on Mars.

The Tianwen-1 mission is the first step in China- People’s Republic of China independent interplanetary exploration. It will “circle, land, and patrol” Mars through a single launch, that is, Mars orbit, Mars landing, and fire patrol. The Tianwen-1 probe has a total weight of about 5 tons and is composed of an orbiter and a landing patrol device. The landing patrol device mainly includes an entry module and a Mars rover. At present, the orbiter has completed the third on-orbit self-check, and all systems are working normally…..

截至2021年1月3日6时，天问一号探测器已在轨飞行163天，飞行里程突破4亿公里，距离地球约1.3亿公里，距离火星约830万公里，飞行状态良好。按计划将在一个多月后实施近火制动，进入环火轨道。

天问一号任务是我国独立开展行星际探测的第一步，旨在通过一次发射实现对火星的“绕、着、巡”，即火星环绕、火星着陆、火面巡视。天问一号探测器总重约5吨，由环绕器和着陆巡视器组成，着陆巡视器主要包括进入舱和火星车。目前，环绕器已完成第三次在轨自检，各系统工作正常。

探月逐火共奋进，追梦求真向天行。行星探测“天问工程”是月球探测“嫦娥工程”的再发展，是中国人探索宇宙星辰征程的再延伸。中国深空探测事业一步一个脚印，一棒接力一棒，继承与创新并举，稳妥与挑战兼具。现在，探月工程“绕、落、回”三步走发展规划圆满收官，天问一号正在抵近火星，带着中国人民的期愿飞向这颗神秘的红色星球。

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 manoeuvre, 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…….

 Previously………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 manoeuvre 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 manoeuvre was successfully completed. The orbital manoeuvre 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 manoeuvre 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.

On 12th December 2020 morning Hong Kong -Beijing Saturday, 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  during  at that time stamp at 9:54 morning Hong Kong –Beijing time on December 12th 2020…., the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination experienced about 6 days of waiting around the moon, and implemented the first lunar-to-ground transfer incident, changing from a near-circular orbit to a near-moon height An elliptical orbit of about 200 kilometers. The main purpose of the lunar-to-earth transfer and incidence is to move the orbital maneuver on the lunar orbit to make the orbiter and returner assembly enter the lunar-to-earth transfer orbit.

Later, the orbiter and returner assembly carrying the lunar sample will choose the opportunity to implement the second lunar-to-earth transfer incident, so as to get rid of the lunar gravity, enter the lunar-earth transfer orbit and return to the earth.

The engine is turned on and the orbital control begins” “According to the Beijing real-time data monitoring and judgment, the Chang’e-5 orbiter combination has the first lunar-ground incident control, normal and finished, and the follow-up work will fly as normal Implementation of the control planning to returning back to earth in which is expected to land at the Inner Mongolia …..

嫦娥五号轨道器和返回器组合体实施第一次月地转移入射

​​ 12月12日9时54分，嫦娥五号轨道器和返回器组合体经历了约6天的环月等待，实施了第一次月地转移入射，从近圆形轨道变为近月点高度约200公里的椭圆轨道。月地转移入射的主要目的是通过月球轨道上的轨道机动，使轨道器和返回器组合体进入月地转移轨道。

后续，携带月球样品的轨道器和返回器组合体将择机实施第二次月地转移入射，从而摆脱月球引力，进入月地转移轨道返回地球。

On 8th December 2020 morning Hong Kong -Beijing Wednesday, 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 6:59 on December 8, the Chang’e-5 ascender was controlled off-orbit according to ground instructions, and landed at the scheduled landing point near 0 degrees longitude of the lunar surface and 30 degrees south latitude at about 7:30.

Previously, the Chang’e-5 ascender achieved the first take-off of an extraterrestrial celestial body in my country. It rendezvoused and docked with the orbital return assembly in a predetermined orbit, completed the transfer of lunar samples, and was separated from the orbital return assembly smoothly at 12 o’clock on December 6. Experts from the National Space Administration’s Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center said that the Chang’e-5 ascender has successfully completed its mission. The controlled deorbiting and landing of the moon can prevent it from becoming space junk and avoid affecting the international community’s subsequent lunar exploration missions. This is China’s responsibility also an important commitment of major powers to the peaceful exploration and use of space by mankind…..

完成使命——嫦娥五号上升器受控撞月

12月8日6时59分，嫦娥五号上升器按照地面指令受控离轨，7时30分左右降落在月面经度0度、南纬30度附近的预定落点

Previously.. On 6th December 2020 Afternoon Hong Kong -Beijing lunch time Sunday, the Beijing flight control team of the China National Space Administration- CLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Mons Rumker Luna Mission – December 6th 2020- Sunday Separate again, choose an opportunity to return-Chang’e-5 docking complex separates smoothly….At 12:35 Hong Kong – Beijing Time on December 6th 2020 , the Chang’e-5 orbital return assembly was successfully separated from the ascender and entered the waiting phase of the moon, and it will return to the earth at an opportunity.

再次分离，择机返回——嫦娥五号对接组合体顺利分离

12月6日12时35分，嫦娥五号轨返组合体与上升器成功分离，进入环月等待阶段，将择机返回地球。

Previously On 6th December 2020 Sunday, the Beijing flight control team of the China National Space Administration- CLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Mons Rumker Luna Mission – December 6th 2020- Sunday, the Chang’e-5 ascender successfully rendezvous and docked with the orbiter and returner assembly, and the sample container was safely transferred to the returner at 6:12 Morning Hong Kong – Beijing Time. This is the first time that my country has realized lunar orbital rendezvous and docking.

From the moment the ascender enters the orbit around the moon, through long-range guidance and short-range autonomous control, the orbiter and returner assembly gradually approach the ascender, capture the ascender by claws, and complete the rendezvous and docking….. In which the Chang’e-5 ascender successfully rendezvous and docked with the orbiter and returner assembly, and the sample container was safely transferred to the returner at 6:12. This is China’s first lunar orbital rendezvous and docking……..  In the future, the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination will be separated from the ascender and return to Earth at the right time.

In the future, the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination will be separated from the ascender and return to Earth at the right time.

12月6日5时42分，嫦娥五号上升器成功与轨道器和返回器组合体交会对接，并于6时12分将样品容器安全转移至返回器中。这是我国首次实现月球轨道交会对接。

从上升器进入环月飞行轨道开始，通过远程导引和近程自主控制，轨道器和返回器组合体逐步靠近上升器，以抱爪的方式捕获上升器，完成交会对接。

后续，嫦娥五号轨道器和返回器组合体将与上升器分离，择机返回地球。

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。

On 6th December 2020 Sunday, the Beijing flight control team of the China National Space Administration- CLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Mons Rumker Luna Mission – December 6th 2020- Sunday, the Chang’e-5 ascender successfully rendezvous and docked with the orbiter and returner assembly, and the sample container was safely transferred to the returner at 6:12 Morning Hong Kong – Beijing Time. This is the first time that my country has realized lunar orbital rendezvous and docking.

From the moment the ascender enters the orbit around the moon, through long-range guidance and short-range autonomous control, the orbiter and returner assembly gradually approach the ascender, capture the ascender by claws, and complete the rendezvous and docking….. In which the Chang’e-5 ascender successfully rendezvous and docked with the orbiter and returner assembly, and the sample container was safely transferred to the returner at 6:12. This is China’s first lunar orbital rendezvous and docking……..  In the future, the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination will be separated from the ascender and return to Earth at the right time.

In the future, the Chang’e-5 orbiter and returner combination will be separated from the ascender and return to Earth at the right time.

12月6日5时42分，嫦娥五号上升器成功与轨道器和返回器组合体交会对接，并于6时12分将样品容器安全转移至返回器中。这是我国首次实现月球轨道交会对接。

从上升器进入环月飞行轨道开始，通过远程导引和近程自主控制，轨道器和返回器组合体逐步靠近上升器，以抱爪的方式捕获上升器，完成交会对接。

后续，嫦娥五号轨道器和返回器组合体将与上升器分离，择机返回地球。

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.
