As China carried out its crewed lunar exploration program, the engineering office of the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) is soliciting names in public for the moon surface lander and a new generation of manned spacecraft.<\/p>\n
The solicitation for name suggestions was revealed by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), which will last till September 30.<\/p>\n
The CMSA said that as a guide, the names should fully reflect the core values and related elements of manned spaceflight and highlight China’s intelligent manufacturing.<\/p>\n
China plans to land its taikonauts on the moon before 2030 to carry out scientific exploration, according to a preliminary plan released by the CMSA.<\/p>\n
The plan is to launch two carrier rockets to send a lunar lander and a manned spacecraft to a lunar orbit, respectively. The craft and lunar lander will rendezvous and dock with each other, and then taikonauts will enter the lander.<\/p>\n
As the lunar lander descends and arrives at the preset area on the lunar surface, taikonauts will carry out scientific tasks and collect samples.<\/p>\n
After completing the planned tasks, taikonauts will return to the lander, which will lift them back to the lunar orbit to dock with their spacecraft.<\/p>\n
In the final step, the spacecraft will fly taikonauts back to Earth with lunar samples.<\/p>\n
The new generation of crewed spacecraft will comprise an escape tower, a re-entry capsule, and a service capsule and employ module designs that can satisfy the needs of both near-Earth and deep-space explorations.<\/p>\n
The landing rover will consist of two parts – a landing section and a propulsion section, and can send two taikonauts to the lunar surface at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
