Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Harry12345 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 25, according to Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's lunar exploration project, China's deep space exploration in the next 10 to 15 years will mainly be divided into four parts: ① lunar exploration; ② asteroid exploration or impact; ③ planetary exploration; and ④ launch of heavy carrier rockets.

According to reports, China has begun to carry out asteroid exploration missions and plans to sample asteroids in the next 10 to 15 years. At the same time, in order to prevent possible asteroid impact events, China has been making development plans and will carry out extraterrestrial asteroid defense missions in the future.

Wu Weiren said that because asteroid stars are too small to land like the moon and Mars, we call the landing of asteroids "attachment." It's like slowly touching the spacecraft and then trying to take a little sample of the asteroid and bring it back to Earth.

It is said that one of the key points of asteroid exploration is to study the possibility of asteroids hitting the earth. What if we find that small celestial bodies are going to hit the earth? Wu Weiren revealed that China is formulating a development plan in this area, including detection, early warning, disposal, rescue and other aspects.

He said that when a small celestial body flies in from outside Mars, it first launches a probe to determine its orbit, and then launches an impactor to change its orbit. CTOnews.com learned that this is also the plan we will implement in the next 10 years.

We are now ready to carry out a defense mission against small celestial bodies, that is, to aim at a small celestial body of tens of meters, which is flying in from Mars, and after flying in, we predict that it will pose a serious threat to the earth, so we are going to launch a probe, detect it, determine its orbit after exploration, and then we hope to be able to launch an impactor at about 10 million kilometers, and then change its orbit. This is what we will implement in the next 10 years.
