Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens West window past, Ishihara Rimi Happiness, Alejandro86, MissBook clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 22, at the main forum of the annual meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology held in Hefei, Anhui Province, Wu Weiren, chief designer of the Chinese lunar exploration project, director and chief scientist of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, introduced China's plans for deep space exploration in the next 15 years.

"in the next 15 years, China's deep space exploration will demonstrate and implement ten major engineering tasks in the three fields of lunar exploration, planetary exploration, and carrier technology."

He mentioned that China's planned projects in the field of planetary exploration include the implementation of a near-Earth asteroid defense mission for the first time.

In view of the extremely low probability and great harm event of a near-Earth asteroid hitting the Earth, we will carry out kinetic energy impact on an asteroid tens of millions of kilometers away, make it change its orbit, and evaluate its impact effect in orbit, so that it can be accurately hit, pushed, measured, and clearly explained.

Wu Weiren revealed that 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.

According to reports, because the asteroid star is too small to land like the moon and Mars, we call the landing mode of the asteroid "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.

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.
