China Moon Rover Prepares For 45th Lunar Day of Exploration as NASA Declares “New Race To Space”
Yutu-2 now in sleep mode, conserving electricity generated during day via PV panels while relying on RHU heating to survive 44th lunar night; In total Yutu-2 has traversed 1,239.88 m within Von Kármán crater on Moon farside South Pole–Aitken basin over 1,282 days of operations, while Yutu traveled 114 m; Despite prognostication from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson speaking to German newspaper Bild expressing concern over “China landing on the moon and saying: It’s ours now, and you’re staying out”, there are no signs of such an effort
Chief Designer Wu Weiren (TL) proceeding with phase 4 of China Lunar Exploration Program including Chang’e-6 MSP 1-2kg sample return; Chang’e-7 polar exploration mission may involve relay satellite, orbiter, lander, rover, hopper and possible coordination with RSC Luna-Resource-1 orbiter (Luna-27); Chang’e-8 establishment of robotic lunar station with ISRU; LM-5DY development will make Human landings possible prior to 2030 possible per CALT Designer Jiang Jie (BL) speaking at National People’s Congress in Beijing; Jielong-3 / Smart Dragon-3 commercial-focused solid rocket to launch from Shandong China Eastern Seaport NET September
