长征五号“已就位”

CGTN 2021-03-27
11月17日,长征五号遥五运载火箭和嫦娥五号探测器在中国文昌航天发射场完成技术区总装测试工作后,垂直转运至发射区,计划于11月下旬择机实施发射。

据了解,本次任务是长征五号系列运载火箭第二次应用性发射,此前已成功发射我国首次火星探测任务天问一号探测器。探月工程嫦娥五号任务是中国探月工程第六次任务,计划实现月面自动采样返回,助力深化月球成因和演化历史等科学研究,是我国航天领域迄今最复杂、难度最大的任务之一。


The fifth Long March-5 rocket, with China's new lunar probe Chang's-5 on top, has been vertically transported to Wenchang Space Launch Center in south China's Hainan Province on Tuesday. 

The Chang'e-5 mission, which will be one of China's most complicated and difficult space tasks by far, will be launched in late November, according to the China National Space Administration.

As China's sixth lunar mission, Chang'e-5 aims to collect and return around two kilograms of lunar soil and rock samples back to earth.

Space engineers have conducted a general assembly and tests on the rocket, after it was transported to Wenchang in late September.

It took about two hours to vertically transport the large rocket to the launching area of the center Tuesday morning. Final examinations and tests will be conducted on the rocket before the launch.

This is the second time the Long March-5 carrier rocket, currently China's largest launch vehicle, will be put into practical use. In July, it successfully sent China's first Mars probe Tianwen-1 into the Earth-Mars transfer orbit.
