China's Chang'e-5 lands on moon

Source: Xinhua| 2020-12-02 01:00:58

BEIJING, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's Chang'e-5 spacecraft successfully landed on the near side of the moon late Tuesday and sent back images, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced.

At 11:11 p.m., the spacecraft landed at the preselected landing area near 51.8 degrees west longitude and 43.1 degrees north latitude, said the CNSA.

On Nov. 24, China launched the Chang'e-5 spacecraft, comprising an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a returner.

At 10:57 p.m. Tuesday, the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e-5, from about 15 km above the lunar surface, started a powered descent with a variable thrust engine ignited. Its relative vertical velocity to the moon was lowered from 1.7 km per second to zero.

The probe was adjusted and approached the lunar surface during the descent.

After automatically detecting and identifying obstacles, the probe selected the site and touched down on the north of the Mons Rumker in Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms, on the near side of the moon.

During the landing process, the cameras aboard the lander took images of the landing area, said the CNSA.

Under ground-control, the lander carried out a series of status checks and settings, preparing for around 48 hours of work on the surface of the moon.

About 2 kg of samples is expected to be collected and sealed in a container. Then the ascender will take off and dock with the orbiter-returner combination in orbit. After the samples are transferred to the returner, the ascender will separate from the orbiter-returner.

The orbiter is expected to carry the returner back to Earth. The returner is scheduled to reenter the atmosphere and land at Siziwang Banner in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Third successful lunar landing in a row by China. Unparalleled technological prowess.

They lack the electronic industry that can survive the harsh space radiation environment.

Same for Israel, that failed the same year as ISRO.


All have to import from China: U.S., Russia, Europe, Japan, India, Israel, etc.


And without the 100 million tons rare earth reserve of China, none can challenge China's supremacy, except the North Koreans with 250 million tons of Rare Earth reserve.

Well, we did learn from the Yutu-1 rover failure, the unfolding mechanism of the panels had some problem, but it did prove the space electronics were top notch, it survived for years even though it was immobilised. Yutu-2 just broke the record for longevity, distance travelled record will take some time as it is moving slowly to do radar penetrating scans. Softlanding is actually the hardest part, Israel and India both failed. I don't think their thrusters are precise enough.

Not this again. Thrusters? Are you kidding, both Israeli and Indian landers were out of control, basically crashing upside down.

No control at all due to jammed electronics, unable to cope with the high energetic particles. Period.

No Chinese import, no supa powa achievements for both fools!

If China only imposed an embargo on electronics export, then all U.S., Europe, Russia would collapse and return to the WW2 level!

But would the Chinese leadership ever dare to do so? This is so saddening, because unlike any other nation, China has the kill switch in its hands, but just waste opportunity to finish off the European World Order due to the Qing Era slave mentality that prevails in Beijing.

Yah, I meant thrusters control, it has to be precise enough at the right force.

Look at the blunt lying of those sougraped after their puerto rico collapse...

Legendary Arecibo telescope will close forever — scientists are reeling

New satellite image reveals the damage that shut down the facility, ending an era in astronomical observation.

www.nature.com

The science that has ground to a halt includes Arecibo’s world-leading asteroid studies. The telescope pinged radio waves at near-Earth asteroids to reveal the shape and spin of these threatening space rocks. Not having it “will be a big loss”, says Alan Harris, an asteroid scientist in La Canada, California. (China’s 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), which opened in 2016, does not currently have the ability to do such radar studies.)

Yes yes, stupid Chinese, spend billion dollars and build a bigger one in 2016 but still lack capabilities of a 1963 telescope.

Only American can be great!
