the national space administration announced on the 24th that after completing the chang'e-6 mission, china's lunar exploration project will also conduct two launch missions to lay the foundation for an international lunar scientific research station. according to the plan, my country will launch chang'e-7 in 2026 and chang'e-8 around 2028.
China's lunar exploration program will carry out two more launch missions to lay the groundwork for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), announced the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Tuesday. According to the plan, China will launch the Chang'e 7 mission in 2026 and the Chang'e 8 mission around 2028.
bian zhigang, deputy director of the national space administration, said that chang'e-7 is to survey the environment and resources of the lunar south pole, and chang'e-8 is to verify the on-site utilization technology of lunar resources and to lay a foundation for the construction of subsequent lunar scientific research stations. around 2035, a basic type of lunar scientific research station will be built.
Chang'e 7 will survey the environment and resources of the lunar South Pole, while the Chang'e 8 mission will focus on validating technologies for in-situ resource utilization on the moon, laying the foundation for the future construction of the ILRS, which is expected to be established by around 2035, said Bian Zhigang, deputy director of the CNSA.
according to reports, the construction of the international lunar scientific research station will be divided into two stages:
The construction of the ILRS, jointly initiated by China and Russia, will be divided into two phases.
the first phase is basic construction, which will be centered on the lunar south pole region and have scientific research capabilities within a range of 100 kilometers. through the earth-moon integrated information network, interconnection and interoperability among multiple tasks such as unmanned lunar exploration, manned lunar landing, and international cooperation will be realized, forming a lunar-based comprehensive scientific research platform with basically complete functions and elements.
In the first phase, a basic model of the station will be established at the lunar South Pole region, capable of conducting scientific operations within a radius of 100 kilometers. This phase will utilize an integrated information network between the Earth and the moon to enable interconnectivity and interoperability among various missions, including unmanned lunar exploration, manned lunar landings, and international cooperation. This phase will feature a comprehensive lunar research platform with essential functions.
the second phase is expansion construction. before 2050, a comprehensive lunar station network will be built with the lunar orbit station as the hub, the lunar south pole station as the center, and the lunar equator and the far side of the moon as detection nodes, forming a long-term unmanned and short-term lunar station network. a large-scale comprehensive scientific research platform with human resources, complete functions, and continuous and stable operation.
The second phase will focus on expanding the station's capabilities, with the goal of establishing a comprehensive lunar station network by 2050. This network will be centered around the lunar South Pole station, with a lunar orbital station as the hub, and exploration nodes at the lunar equator and the far side of the moon. The station will have a large-scale, multifunctional research platform that operates continuously with long-term unmanned and short-term manned missions.
so, is it possible to access the internet on the moon? is it possible to live? guan feng, director of the lunar exploration and space engineering center of the national space administration, pointed out that chang'e-8 must consider communication capabilities. there will definitely be wireless networks and energy on the moon. as for whether it can grow vegetables, scientists are still studying it. chang'e-8 has may conduct scientific research in this area.
As for whether it will be possible to access the internet or live on the moon, Guan Feng, deputy director of the CNSA Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center, revealed that the Chang'e 8 mission will consider communication capabilities. "There will definitely be wireless networks and energy on the moon, and scientists are still researching the feasibility of growing vegetables there, an area where the Chang'e 8 mission may conduct scientific studies," Guan said.
according to reports, in 2017, the china national space administration officially launched an international lunar scientific research station cooperation initiative to the international community, which received widespread attention and positive response. up to now, more than 10 countries (international organizations) and more than 40 international institutions have signed international cooperation documents with relevant parties in our country.
