On the week of 13th March 2022 in CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China……..During the Two Sessions of which was held during in the People’s Hall during the week of 13th March 2022 China – People’s Republic of China CNSA China National Space Administration and its Partners plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030] China Daily reported on March 6 that Wu Weiren, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief designer of China’s lunar exploration project, said recently that my country plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030. The difficulty of the project is much greater than that of lunar sampling and return. The first problem to be solved is to develop a launch vehicle with greater thrust. In the follow-up, China is also preparing to conduct marginal exploration of the solar system. “The sun is about 150 million kilometers from the earth, which is an astronomical unit. We plan to achieve the ‘double hundred’ goal in 2049, that is, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of New China, to complete 100 astronomical units, which is 15 billion kilometers away “Deep space exploration” China plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030
China will carry on its moon research in the future with Chang’e-6, Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 missions by 2030. After 2030, a new set of missions will be carried out to complete the construction of an international lunar research station by 2030….he Chang’e-6 is scheduled to bring back to Earth lunar samples with a mass of up to 2 kilograms; the Chang’e-7 will be tasked with landing on the lunar south pole and detecting local natural resources; and the Chang’e-8, working in collaboration with Chang’e-7, is going to scout how to exploit lunar resources.
According to Wu, the Chang’e-6 and Chang’e-7 are expected to be launched around 2025.
Future missions also include the development of a special craft, which can fly from the landing site to lunar craters to help scientists look for traces of water. If water is present, it could provide resources for future crewed missions on the moon, Wu noted.
After 2030, a new set of missions will be carried out to complete the construction of an international lunar research station by 2035….
“There will be multiple rovers and landers working in the future moon station and a lunar-based communication network to support these spacecraft,” Wu said. “The lunar research station can also function as a transfer outpost for the solar system and even deeper space explorations.”

The video is a video of the Mars group photo taken by the probe.
The video was shot by the “selfie” camera carried by the Tianwen-1 surround. The camera is installed at the end of the “selfie stick”. This selfie tool is designed to monitor and evaluate the status of key components outside the surround. In the video The orbiter’s 3000N engine, propellant storage tank, attitude control engine and other components are in good condition. The five-star red flag shining in the Mars orbit is particularly bright. During the attitude adjustment process, the angle of the sun’s illumination changes significantly. When flying over the north pole of Mars, the ice cap below was photographed. The “selfie stick” uses a special shape memory composite material, which is folded and folded before launch. After entering the orbit of Mars, the folded part is heated to a certain temperature, and the “selfie stick” gradually returns to a straight state. The “selfie stick” weighs only 0.8 kilograms and is 1.6 meters long when unfolded. The camera installed at the end can effectively complete various monitoring tasks.

During the week of the 12th January 2022 in CNSA – China National Space Administration…. The third anniversary of the spirit of lunar exploration: the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project has been established, and the planetary exploration project will also start a new journey
Three years ago today, January 11, 2019, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council put forwarding forward a “lunar Spirit” Chang E IV in lunar exploration mission a complete success of his message: chasing the dream, the courage to explore , collaborative tackling, and win-win cooperation .
The sixteen-character lunar exploration spirit is an important part of the Chinese Communists’ spiritual pedigree. It is a vivid portrayal of the “two bombs and one star” spirit passed down from generation to generation, and it is also the winning code to support the six battles and six victories of the lunar exploration project. . The spirit of lunar exploration enriches the connotation of the space spirit in the new era, and brings together magnificent spiritual power for the space dream and the Chinese dream.
Since the CPC Central Committee decided to implement the lunar exploration project, it has adhered to “integrated research and demonstration”, “one-stop tackling key problems” and “drawing a blueprint to the end”, and successfully completed the three-step strategic plan of “circling, falling, and returning” as scheduled, and China’s lunar exploration began. The new chapter of human lunar exploration has made China’s contribution to the development of aerospace technology and space science.
The four follow-up missions of China’s lunar exploration project include the Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8 missions, which will be implemented successively in the next ten years.
According to the plan, China will first launch the Chang’e 7 probe to the south pole of the moon. Then, the backup Chang’e 6, the backup of Chang’e 5, will be launched for sampling return at the south pole of the moon. After Chang’e 6, Chang’e 8 will be launched to establish the basic model of the lunar scientific research station.
Wu Yanhua said: These three missions are mainly led by China, and we are also planning to cooperate with Russia to build a basic type of lunar scientific research station to better explore the lunar environment and resources, including how to peacefully utilize and develop lunar resources, in order to lay a solid foundation.
Wu Yanhua believes that open cooperation is an important way to get to the center of the world aerospace stage. At present, my country has signed nearly 160 cooperation agreements with more than 60 countries and international organizations, which have created conditions for China’s aerospace industry to go out and lead the implementation of large scientific plans and large scientific projects in the lunar and deep space fields.
Wu Yanhua emphasized that the first Mars exploration mission that has been implemented is the pioneering work of China’s interplanetary exploration, and the following tasks are still very long-term.
The country has approved the planetary exploration project. The planetary exploration project includes the first Mars exploration mission of Tianwen-1, and the follow-up mission of asteroid attachment and sampling return, Mars sampling return and Jupiter system exploration. The planetary exploration project is scheduled to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. At present, my country is still carrying out the demonstration of the strategic plan for the medium and long-term development of aerospace, such as the detection of the edge of the solar system.
The starry sky is vast, and there is no end to exploration. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and vigorously carry forward and practice the spirit of lunar exploration, Chinese astronauts will make new contributions at a new starting point, continuously promote the innovation and development of China’s aerospace industry, and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Human beings make new and greater contributions to the peaceful use of space.
