Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the United States has maintained a leading position in the field of aviation technology, and it can be said that the United States has played an important role in the process of human space exploration. However, now that space has become one of the main areas of international competition, countries are accelerating the development of their own technologies.
Today, China's aviation technology is developing rapidly, and it has completed catch-up and surpassing in many fields. For example, it has performed well in the fields of space stations, navigation satellites, and lunar exploration. Just recently, Harbin Institute of Technology's lunar program has made the entire international aerospace community feel bright. You must know that Harbin Institute of Technology's plan is not only to explore the moon or to land people on the moon, but also to build a lunar base in the moon.
In recent years, the American company SpaceX has developed rapidly in the field of space, especially in satellites and launch vehicles. SpaceX has not only formulated the Starlink plan, intending to build a global satellite communication network, but also started a series of Starshield and Starship programs, which have performed well in satellite networks, launch vehicles, spacecraft, etc.
However, it is clear that China's aviation sector is developing more rapidly, and it is still showing a trend of comprehensive development. The first is the mainland's Chang'e lunar exploration program, which is expected to complete the manned lunar landing around 2030, and the second is the mainland's Beidou satellite navigation system, which will effectively promote the development of the continental navigation system. What's more, there are also the excellent achievements of the Shenzhou series of spacecraft and the Long March series of carrier rockets in recent years.
It can even be said that in terms of lunar exploration, China's technological level and development have gradually come to the front and rear of the United States. You must know that the mainland's Chang'e-6 has excavated lunar soil from the far side of the moon and brought it back, which is also the first time that human beings have brought back lunar soil from the far side of the moon. The mainland's Queqiao relay satellite is an indispensable and important existence for human exploration of the far side of the moon.
Although the United States has started the Artemis lunar exploration program and intends to return to the moon, judging from the current situation, the American Artemis program has had many accidents, resulting in continuous delays in the plan. According to the news released by NASA before, the completion of the manned lunar landing in the United States will be postponed to after 2030, and more financial support is needed.
What Biden didn't expect was that the mainland's Harbin Institute of Technology also announced a lunar base plan not long ago, planning to build a long-term base on the moon. According to the plan, it is planned to find a suitable site near the south pole of the moon, after which a lunar base will be built partially below the surface.
This method can effectively help the lunar base avoid the great influence of the temperature difference between day and night on the moon, and can also protect the staff in it. Judging from the current news, this lunar base will become an important support for mankind to carry out scientific research on the moon for a long time.
This is not only a bold attempt by the mainland in lunar exploration, but also a key step in human exploration, and there is no doubt that the continent's exploration of the moon is moving forward steadily. Judging from the current public plan, the mainland is expected to continue to launch lunar exploration satellites such as Chang'e-6, Chang'e-7, and Chang'e-8 to explore the vicinity of the lunar base to be built by the mainland and gain an in-depth understanding of water sources and geological conditions.
There is no doubt that this kind of semi-underground and semi-above-ground engineering in the form of "dissolution pit" not only has better thermal insulation performance and provides a good living environment, but also has a lot of economic advantages, which can greatly reduce the manufacturing price of lunar engineering facilities.
There is no doubt that it is not difficult to see from the current news that China's aerospace, especially in lunar exploration, is developing in accordance with the Chang'e lunar exploration program that was formulated at the beginning. At present, the launch and landing of the mainland's Chang'e lunar exploration program have been successfully completed.
This not only shows the rapid development of the mainland's technological level in the field of aerospace, but also shows the mainland's ability to master aviation technology, and the plans formulated are being completed on time. Judging from the current news, Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8, which will be launched next, are very important for the construction of this lunar base.
Chang'e-7 will explore possible water sources on the moon. Water can be decomposed by electrolysis into oxygen and hydrogen, which is an essential substance for human production, and hydrogen, which can provide energy for humans. Chang'e-8 will conduct a more comprehensive exploration of the moon, and will also understand the relevant situation near the lunar base and find a suitable site for the construction of the lunar base.
Now that China's lunar exploration program is accelerating, the United States is obviously starting to be anxious, and NASA has repeatedly said that it should make additional investments to avoid lagging China too far behind in the development of the lunar exploration program. This has also made many people question the authenticity of the United States' previous manned landing on the moon, but no matter what mysterious things are hidden on the moon, all unknown things will be revealed when the construction of the lunar base on the mainland is completed and put into use.
China will continue to devote itself to space exploration, providing a solid foundation for mankind to understand this vast space, whether it is the mainland's lunar exploration program or the Tiangong space station, which are helping mankind continue to understand the universe.
