Chang, third on December 2 at the Xichang launching | Chang launched | third | Xichang _ news

November 30, according to China Central television reported that the launch site area command decision, "Chang-third [Twitter]" probe on December 2, at the Xichang satellite launch Center. "The moon lady, third" green "Jade Rabbit" Rovers first lunar soft landing and moon patrol reconnaissance, surface topography and geological structure survey work and scientific exploration.

According to China's National Defense Science and Industry Council spokesman described previously to become immortal, the third mission as a moon exploration project phase II the main task will be completed three major projects target and three types of scientific exploration tasks.

Three big engineering target including: breakthrough moon landing, and months surface visits exploration, and deep empty measurement and control communications and away operation, deep empty detection rocket launches, key technology, upgrade aerospace technology; development moon landing detector and visits detector, established ground deep empty station, obtained including rocket, and moon detector, and launch site, and deep empty measurement and control station, and ground application, zainei of features module, has moon landing detection of basic capacity; established Moon detection aerospace engineering basic system, A major scientific and effective engineering approach of project implementation.

Three types of scientific exploration tasks include: surface topography and geological structure survey of surface material composition and available resources; plasma probing of the Earth and moon base optical astronomy.

Lunar exploration program is one of China's science and technology major projects in 16 countries, bear the "Moon" Goddess of the task, and third is Lunar "winding, collapsed," a key step in the three-step, China outside the spacecraft for the first time and monthly visits a soft landing exploration of celestial bodies, an important milestone, is getting attention at home and abroad.

嫦娥三号将于12月2日1时30分在西昌发射|嫦娥三号|发射|西昌_新闻资讯

　　中新网11月30日电 据中央电视台报道，经发射场区指挥部决定，“嫦娥三号[微博]”探测器将于12月2日1时30分，在西昌卫星发射中心发射。“嫦娥三号”将携“玉兔号”月球车首次实现月球软着落和月面巡视勘察，并开展月表形貌与地质构造调查等科学探测。

　　此前据中国国防科工局新闻发言人介绍，嫦娥三号任务作为探月工程二期主任务，将完成三大工程目标和三类科学探测任务。

　　三大工程目标包括：突破月球软着陆、月面巡视勘查、深空测控通信与遥操作，深空探测运载火箭发射等关键技术，提升航天技术水平；研制月球软着陆探测器和巡视探测器，建立地面深空站，获得包括运载火箭、月球探测器、发射场、深空测控站、地面应用等在内的功能模块，具备月球软着陆探测的基本能力； 建立月球探测航天工程基本体系，形成重大项目实施的科学有效的工程方法。

　　而三类科学探测任务包括：月表形貌与地质构造调查；月表物质成分和可利用资源调查；地球等离子体层探测和月基光学天文观测。

　　探月工程是中国16个国家科技重大专项之一，承担“落月”任务的嫦娥三号是探月工程“绕、落、回”三步走中的关键一步，将实现中国航天器首次地外天体软着陆和月面巡视勘查，具有重要里程碑意义，备受海内外关注。
