What is the name of the lunar exploration project in China?

China's lunar exploration project is called Chang 'e Project.

In 2004, China officially launched the lunar exploration project and named it "Chang 'e Project". The Chang 'e project is divided into three stages: unmanned lunar exploration, manned lunar landing and the establishment of a lunar base.

At 4: 30 on June 24, 2020, China successfully launched the Chang 'e V probe of the lunar exploration project with the Long March V carrier rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. After about 2,200 seconds' flight, the rocket successfully put the probe into the predetermined orbit, and began the first sampling return trip of extraterrestrial objects in China. On 65438+February 1 day, the Chang 'e-5 probe successfully landed in the pre-selected landing zone on the front of the moon.

Engineering objective

1. Get the 3D image of the lunar surface. Divide the basic geomorphic structural units of the lunar surface, and draw the outline map of the lunar geology and structure preliminarily, so as to provide reference for the subsequent optimization of soft landing.

2. Analyze the distribution characteristics of useful elements and substance types on the lunar surface. The useful elements on the surface of the moon were detected, and the lunar surface distribution map of each element was preliminarily compiled.

3. Detect the characteristics of lunar soil. Detect and evaluate the thickness of lunar soil layer on the lunar surface and the amount of helium -3 resources in lunar soil.

4. Exploring the space environment of the Earth and the Moon. Record the original solar wind data and study the influence of solar activity on the space environment of the earth and the moon.
