"Chang'e I" hit the moon successfully returned images

By March 1 electricity at 4:13 p.m. on the 1st, "Chang'e I" satellite in a controlled and successful impact the Moon.

It is reported that by the final confirmation, Chang'e I satellite to the moon impact point for a predetermined point, located at 1.50 degrees south latitude, 52.36 degrees east longitude.

Chang'e I satellite in October 24, 2007 at Xichang Satellite Launch Center, November 7 to enter the 200 km ring job on track, to October 2008 has been successfully in orbit for one year after the completion of the scheduled mission to detect the state of good.

Lunar exploration program will achieve a soft landing for the second stage, technology-span, and for at process control and orbit determination accumulated experience, the follow-up projects to reduce risks, the decision at the end of Chang'e I satellite life, control on satellite collision.

Chang'e I satellite in order to guarantee "on a controlled collision," Chang'e One mission flight control group selection and Kashi in Qingdao two monitoring stations at the same time be able to carry out monitoring and control for the time period control. This afternoon, 15:36, Chang'e I satellite began to slow down 37 minutes later, at 16:13:10 the success of the moon falls on the rich sea region. Satellite on collision course, CCD camera in real-time returns clear images.

It is understood that the Chang'e I satellite in orbit for one year total return 1.37TB effective scientific exploration data, to obtain a full moon image, on form part of a group of chemical element distribution of the results of scientific research and successfully achieve the project objectives and scientific objectives, the follow-up for the Chinese lunar exploration projects and deep space exploration has laid a solid foundation.

The "Chang'e One" hit on, Academician Ouyang said: "Impact is an international space moon lunar probe Ending 'mission' general approach." He also pointed out that "rather than let lunar spacecraft because the fuel consumption and fall to make the moon, such as selection does not impact the way the moon, how can the moon for mankind to understand the accumulation of some additional information. "

Astronomy Department of Nanjing University Professor Hsiao-resistant garden in an interview with the media, consider the human impact the moon probe selection has important scientific significance. After the success of the impact will set off a large number of lunar dust. Scientists, through analysis of the composition of lunar dust to explain the mystery of the origin of the Moon. The mystery of the origin of the moon's current doctrine more arguments exist.

In addition, the detector can achieve a specified period of time if the impact to a predetermined location, the next step will be for other human probe on the moon or other celestial bodies, lay the foundation for precision landing.
