British media: China Mars program is progressing well, will land on Mars
Original title: British media China Mars program "progressing" around Mars landing inspections and Reference News Network September 23rd British media reported that one of the top space scientists said China 2020 aspiring Mars program "progress", he is in the discussion about "settle" and the possibility of human robot Mars forum said these words. According to the British Daily Telegraph website on September 21st reported that Zhang Rongqiao said that China is seeking to become a mission to achieve encirclement and landing tour of Mars, the first country. The probe will provide valuable data on the temperature, atmospheric environment and landscape of Mars, and Beijing will send more Mars probes to obtain soil and rock samples. Zhang Rongqiao, chief designer of the mission, said the probe will be composed of three parts: encirclement, landing and inspection. Chinese media reported that Zhang Rongqiao said that Mars was about 400 million kilometers from earth, and that the probe would have to travel about 7 to 10 months before it could be captured by mars. Orbiters flying around Mars rover landing and after separation, and then enter the mission to carry out detection on orbit around Mars rover landing for the world, at the same time to carry out the relay communications, it should take around and landing in orbit design on demand. China's first Mars exploration project is equipped with 13 payloads, including 7 kinds of surround devices and 6 kinds of Mars vehicles, covering space environment exploration, Mars surface detection, Mars surface structure detection and other fields. "China Daily" said that in the collection of data at the same time, the detector will monitor the red planet's atmospheric environment and important scientific indicators. According to the paper, Zhang Rongqiao said at the International Forum on lunar and deep space exploration in Beijing that Mars exploration "is progressing well and is progressing steadily according to plan."". He said: "Mars can be used not only as a future robot or as a human settlement. Studying its evolution may also help us answer some of the key questions that cosmology may have a profound impact on human life." Reported that the 2020 mission to Mars before the Chinese media also reported, but since last year, little details emerge. The Mars probe will be launched from Hainan Island by the long march five carrier, state media said. China is also reportedly planning to launch probes to Jupiter and Uranus in 2036 and 2046, respectively. The space exploration project in Beijing is ambitious. The former Soviet Union, the United States, the European Space Agency and India sent probes to Mars, but only NASA successfully landed on the surface of mars. Reported that China is drying the rugged north-west of a place to invest 400 million yuan to build Mars simulation base to promote scientific research on Mars and the local tourism industry. The government has also built a "capsule" in Beijing, where student volunteers live for 200 days in a confined environment for scientists to study. Chinese experts say the experiment is of great significance for ensuring the smooth progress of China's manned lunar landing, lunar base and Mars exploration, and ensuring the safety of life and quality of life for astronauts".
