On October 21, 2021, the mainland precursor Tianwen-1 probe Chang'e-5 lander Omomo was on moonlit night duty on the lunar survey probe Endeavour, and inadvertently found some equipment left behind by his "neighbor", the American manned lander Apollo 17, including an Apollo spacesuit.
Ao Momo's discovery made the entire Tianwen-1 team fall into excitement, this is actually a strange object discovered by Ao Momo, what is this Apollo spacesuit?
What impact will the Tianwen-1 probe Chang'e-5 lander have on NASA's Apollo 17 discovery?
Apollo 17 equipment was discovered on night duty.
On October 21, 2021, Chang'e-5 will re-light the "Fox in the Moon" and will usher in its second moonlit night survey work, including the moonlit night on-duty monitoring.
In order not to delay the work of the probe, their Chinese engineering and technical formation had to carry out a "night shift" and hand over the work of Endeavor to the Endeavor on duty.
The night of October 21, 2021 will be the first night of the moonlit night on duty, and the comrades of the Chinese engineering and technical formation and the "Tianwen Project" team have carried out the start drill on duty during the day a few days ago.
In order to smoothly switch between day and night and to ensure uninterrupted detection work, the mainland's probe engineering and technical formation also conducted a series of drills while on duty on moonlit nights to contribute to the smooth transition of the March.
When Omomo was on duty, she was not only responsible for shooting the lunar surface, but also analyzing the lunar soil.
At the same time, it is also necessary to monitor the driving situation and walking trajectory of the mainland's unmanned lunar rover Yutu-2, and the work efficiency of killing multiple birds with one stone also requires day after day of practice and preparation.
Ao Momo was on duty all night, and she discovered some interesting "things", originally her task was to pinpoint and photograph small craters on the moon.
But when it was about to be filmed, Ao Momo's "glasses" not only shot at the original target, but also shot at the target on the other side, which surprised the ground personnel, so they did not intervene immediately.
It wasn't until Omo Mo had this situation for the second time that the personnel on the ground intervened for the first time and asked her to re-shoot the previous target, but just as she was filming the target, the personnel on the ground exclaimed.
An Apollo spacesuit appeared in Omomo's shooting lens, and judging by the color she photographed, this spacesuit is likely to be on the American Apollo 17, and this Apollo spacesuit has been exposed to the moonlit air for 50 years.
When she was photographed by Omomo, because the Apollo spacesuit shimmered with a faint white light in the moonlit night, Omomo was confused and shot her camera at this target.
What is the object found by the detector?
In Omomo's footage, it captures part of a human probe, so how did it come to the moon, why did it expose it to the sight of the fox in the moon, and is it a spy?
In this regard, there are many voices at home and abroad that have begun to speculate, and the Chinese engineering and technical formation is mainly responsible for the work of the fox in the moon, and immediately launched the global news release after receiving the pictures of the Apollo spacesuit taken by Omomo.
There was an urgent discussion on how to find this strange Apollo spacesuit, and at the same time, an email was sent to NASA to inform them, and the other party was very happy about it and immediately replied to it.
The Apollo spacesuit, from Apollo 17, was first spotted by a curious moon astronaut who wanted to know that the rover's shield was no longer usable, so he removed it and threw it aside.
After spending a few days in his original Apollo spacesuit, he explored the moon again and found nothing interesting on the moon, so he explored where he had been in the morning.
Spotting the Apollo spacesuit, he handed it over again, and if nothing happened to him, the Apollo spacesuit would be thrown into a crater on the moon, and he would leave the moon to be reunited with his family on Earth.
But he didn't expect that when he threw it into the pit, the pit did not engulf its spacesuit deeply, but the shape of the pit trapped it underneath, and the "mouth" of the pit was relatively shallow, so the spacesuit was directly "dried".
In this environment, the protective cover of this spacesuit has been exposed to the wind and sun outside for 50 years without strict protection, so the current spacesuit has been exposed and successfully photographed by Ao Momo.
The astronaut of Apollo 17 is Neil Armstrong, who is the hero of the American moon landing, and the Apollo spacesuit photographed by Omomo must have carried the American flag, and he also threw down his "raincoat".
After receiving this Apollo spacesuit, the comrades of the domestic engineering and technical formations will definitely "interpret" it and then decide whether it should be recycled.
Apollo 17 was originally launched on December 7, 1972, and the lunar module of Apollo 17 successfully separated from the moon on December 11, 1972 with the assistance of the lunar orbiter, and successfully docked with the manned command module in space on the same month.
After nine laps, the Apollo 17 lunar module decelerated and controlled its direction, transitioned to the Martian escape orbit to Earth, and finally accurately transported the astronauts and their survey samples back to Earth on December 17, 1972, successfully completing the moon landing.
Visitors from outside the world "Ao Momo".
Omomo is known as the "Visitor from the Sky" because Omomo is officially on the moon to carry out her work, she is stuck in the moonlight world for millions of years, and her eyes can see the entire moon.
In the photos taken by Omomo, there are a lot of strange "things", she photographed some mysterious lights, mysterious objects and mysterious shadows, these shadows are in everyone's eyes to entertain their mood, they see the shadows of aliens.
However, real scientists are not interested in the slightest bit about it, they will "interpret" these shadows, and then speculate about the origin of these shadows, which is the real scientist.
Our Tianwen project is completely free, and we have opened up our Omomo and our standard photos to the world, and allowed teams from various countries to work together on these photos.
Our Tianwen Project in China will not and cannot ban them because of any mysterious objects and shadows in their photos, and we will treat these photos with a professional attitude and reasonably study and explain them.
NASA has also conducted a study of Omomo's photographs to explain their shadows, and they have all explained the Apollo spacesuit and shoe prints taken in these photos.
Their way of explaining and reasoning was wrong, and our Tianwen engineering team in China responded to this and "traced" the nature of this error.
From 1958 to the end of 1972, the United States carried out 9 lunar explorations, and our Omomo made a photo comparison and found that during the period from 1959 to 1972, the United States carried out lunar exploration, and they carried out fixed orbit exploration and lunar landing exploration around the moon.
As the first country to explore the moon by human beings, no one has ever been able to touch the moon, except for the "pick-up of people's teeth" Apollo 17 is the only evidence, in order to protect the spacesuit of Apollo 17, NASA only threw it to the place where it was, and did not carry out deep exploration of it.
So this curious Apollo 17 spacesuit came from space, and under the erroneous inference of NASA, this spacesuit has been probed until Omomo's eyes, and we will definitely "rescue" this spacesuit.
epilogue
Whether it is a scientist or an ordinary person, our curiosity will make us want to know the truth, and we hope that the Tianwen team can "rescue" this Apollo 17 spacesuit and let it return to the arms of the United States.
We would like to say to scientists that you have worked hard and contributed greatly to human exploration and discovery, so that mankind has formed a "new" understanding of the moon.
