Humanity is so eager to study the secrets of the moon that scientists from all over the world are trying their best to reach a location that can provide them with the perfect research to decipher the unknown facts about the moon. The race between the United States and China to land on the moon is underway, and scientists from both countries are looking for ways to contact lunar astronauts. The South Pole of the Moon is considered one of the important landing sites and an ideal place for scientific research. Aitken Basin – The lunar south pole is the largest structure in the entire region. According to the study, China aims to send astronauts to the moon by the end of 2030 to complete its first lunar mission.
Why Antarctica is the frontline in the U.S.-China moon race
The race between China and the United States to land on the moon is not just about landing and waving the flags of their respective countries, but also about exploring the unknown secrets on the moon. Antarctica is considered the best place for observation. Near this pole there is a surprising place called Rimae Bode. A new paper is on natural astronomy Call the area a “Museum of Geology”. It does not include frozen or shadowed craters found at the poles. This area is not a polar crater formed during a volcanic eruption, but has many of the same features as a polar crater. Rimae Bode contains volcanic plains, ancient highlands and valleys of river-like lava flows, all in one place.Research suggests the site’s “scientific gold” value comes from the presence of pyroclastic deposits – tiny beads of volcanic glass formed during volcanic eruptions three billion years ago. Tiny volcanic glass beads are like time capsules because they contain water and chemicals formed deep in the moon’s mantle during volcanic activity. Lunar landers on China’s planned 2030 lander mission could resolve many outstanding questions about the formation of the moon and Earth, and could provide a more detailed picture of the moon’s history than polar lander formations, and are easier to study.
How will China actually land on the ground?
A successful moon landing by 2030 will use China’s “phased” approach rather than an integrated launch vehicle like NASA’s Apollo program. this CMSA According to the official mission briefing of the China Space Administration, the manned spacecraft “Mengzhou” and the lander “Lanyue” will each launch two Long March 10 rockets to complete the mission. After they successfully land in lunar orbit together, the astronauts will be transferred to the lunar lander and finally descend to the lunar surface.
What is the Discovery Rover and how can it help?
China is currently developing a manned lunar exploration rover that will allow astronauts to continue exploring the moon’s rugged terrain. According to a statement released by the agency China Manned Space Administration (CMSA)the lunar rover will accommodate two astronauts traveling through the gray lunar soil.The rover will use tilting technology to maintain stability while traveling over slippery lunar regolith and steep slopes. It will also serve as a mobile laboratory for astronauts, each able to travel up to 10 kilometers from the lunar lander to obtain “scientific gold” – volcanic glass beads and other mineral specimens that may change our understanding of the history of the solar system.
