Lunar Exploration Project: Chang 'e, an ancient legend in the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, is a household name. According to folklore, Chang 'e's husband, Hou Yi, raises a glass to the moon every Mid-Autumn Festival and sends a message of homesickness. The lunar exploration project was named after Chang 'e, which not only gave it more historical connotation and humanistic atmosphere, but also brought many beautiful associations to people.

The moon that the ancients wanted to run, let's finish it! In 2004, China officially launched the lunar exploration project and named it "Chang 'e Project", which took the first step to explore the moon. Chang 'e Project is a lunar exploration experiment initiated by China National Space Administration on March 1 2004, and it is the first lunar exploration project in China.

Chang 'e Project [China's first lunar exploration project]

The Chang 'e project is divided into three stages: unmanned lunar exploration, manned lunar landing and the establishment of a lunar base. The main task of this project is to obtain three-dimensional images of the lunar surface, analyze the distribution characteristics of useful elements and material types on the lunar surface, detect the characteristics of lunar soil, and detect the space environment of the earth and the moon.

In the early morning of June 5438+February 65438+July, 2020, Chang 'e V returned to Earth with lunar samples at a speed close to the second universe, and landed at the Siziwangqi landing site in Inner Mongolia as scheduled. This is another feat written by China people in the 60-year history of human exploration of the moon, marking the overall victory of the three-step campaign of "circling, falling and returning" for China's lunar exploration project.
