中国将公开嫦娥四号探测数据

China will gradually open data collected by the Chang'e-4 lunar probe to the world, the country's lunar program chief designer said.

 

中国将逐步公布嫦娥四号月球探测器所收集到的数据。

 

Wu Weiren, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, made the statement in his capacity as a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory¹ body, on the sidelines of its annual session, which opened on Sunday.

 

The Chang'e-4 probe made the first-ever soft landing on the Von Karman Crater² in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon on Jan. 3.

 

Wu said both the lander and the rover have been woken up from a "sleep mode" and are now collecting new data.

 

Wu added that China plans to launch the Chang'e-5 probe later this year to collect samples from the moon and bring them back to the earth and to launch a probe in 2020 to orbit, land and rove on Mars.
