The Chinese lunar apparatus "Chanya 5-T1" successfully returned to Earth

The moment of sending the lunar apparatus in October of this year

At the beginning of November, China achieved yet another success in its space program: the successful return of the lunar spacecraft "Chanier 5-T1" (Chang'e 5-T1) took place. Think about it - in 40 years this is the first such mission (before such missions were successfully completed by the USSR and the USA). “Chanye 5-T1” is a mission in which the decisions of Chinese engineers were tested, calculated for the subsequent launch of the return lunar unit “Chanye 5”. In this mission, it is planned to plant the device on the surface of the moon, take samples of rocks and dust, and deliver these samples to Earth.

As for the completed mission, it can be called completely successful. “Chanye 5-T1” circled around the moon, and made many different pictures that will go down in the history of astronautics, like all previous photographs of the moon. Interestingly, the pictures were taken using a camera designed to monitor the state of the solar panels of the device. But the quality of shooting is quite acceptable.

The trajectory of the apparatus in this case corresponded to the orbit around the Earth satellite with a perigee of 209 kilometers and an apogee of 380 thousand kilometers.

Upon returning, the device shot off a capsule toward the Earth, which successfully landed


The moment of entry of the capsule into the atmosphere of the Earth at a speed of 40 thousand kilometers per hour


And this is a capsule that landed in one of the northern provinces of China.

During its flight, the Chinese apparatus constantly gave "voice" - radio signals, which were recorded by many radio amateurs on Earth. Various scientific instruments were installed on the module, including the 4M (Manfred Memorial Moon Mission) and a radioactivity sensor, which made it possible to measure the level of radiation around the Moon and in outer space.

As already mentioned, the next step will be to send the landing lunar module in 2017. After that, the final stage will follow - the man’s flight to the moon, the first in many decades. It should happen in the 20s of this century.
