China is preparing to send the first mission to Mars

China prepares for the first Martian mission. According to the Chinese Corporation of Aerospace Science and Technology (CASC), the Changzheng-5 (Long March 5) carrier rocket was delivered to the launch site of the Wenchang cosmodrome on Hainan Island.

China is preparing to send the first Chinese probe "Tianwen-1" ("Questions to the Sky") to the red planet to explore Mars. The Changzheng-5 launch vehicle is supposed to directly launch it into a transfer orbit between Earth and Mars.

It is planned that in the period from the second half of July to the first half of August, the first Chinese mission to explore Mars "Tianwen-1" will be launched.

- said in a statement.

A probe for exploring Mars has already been delivered to the cosmodrome. According to available information, the launch of the rocket may take place on July 23. According to preliminary calculations, the probe will take seven months to reach the planet's surface. If successful, it will send the received data to Earth in 2021.

According to the plans of Chinese scientists, "Tianwen-1" should enter the orbit of Mars, make a certain number of rotations around the planet, and then land and continue studying the surface of the planet.

As stated, the main goal of the mission is to search for possible signs of life on Mars. In addition, Chinese scientists want to understand whether conditions on this planet can change in the future so that it becomes suitable for human life.

here, and we have long been catching up .. we’re not rockets but space skyscrapers and air temples

[military_cat]

In the coming month, a window opens for the most convenient launches to Mars for the next two years. NASA also plans to launch the Perseverance rover in early August. Good luck to the Chinese, they will need it, the ChZh-5 is a new rocket that flies a little and once crashes. Also heptilnitsa, like Proton, but the Chinese do not care.

Did the Chinese decide to colonize Mars in the near future? Then it will no longer be a "red", but a "yellow" planet!

[Runoway]

Why is it all torn? Is there a real answer?
Learning is bullshit (there is a lot of unexplored on my planet)
Minerals bullshit (they can't get helium 3 from the Moon)
REN TV's version of the search for artifacts for breakthrough technologies seems to be the most reasonable

Why is it all torn? Is there a real answer?

And why did the Americans rush to the moon? On the move, already in the distant 1969, they took it and began to fly. Now that something does not fly, although more than 50 years have passed, and the technical wonders of the XNUMXst century have long been in the yard. It was a big policy, first of all, it was necessary to prove the "advantages" of capitalism.

Now the Americans are no longer interested in the Moon, they got to Mars. The first apparatus "Spirit" (English, "spirit"), worked for more than 5 years, and "Curiosity" ("curiosity"), appeared on the surface of Mars on August 6, 2012, and is still working there, to the glory of NASA and the United States. According to the Curiosity engineering team, the plutonium heat and power generators will last about 7-8 years more! This is something, considering that storms on Mars are one of the most global phenomena in the entire solar system. Storms can last for several months and cover colossal territories. There are giant tornadoes and dry lightning. Apparently, American technology does not care, in some Sahara it would not be enough for a year, but on Mars everything is simpler, like on the Canadian island of Devon.

Why do the Chinese need Mars? You have to understand that this is first of all big politics, and only after science and technology. In terms of "development", I will quote the words of Vladimir Putin about who will fly to Mars first, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin replied (2017.04.03 in an interview with Govorukhin):

"A machine. Why? Because everyone is planning flights to Mars, but few people know that in in today's conditions and in today's spaceships, a living cell is unlikely to reach it. It's just that a living cell in such a hard space, in the distant, is not protected by a spaceship... Probably, everything is changing and, probably, such opportunities will appear, but there are still problems. Therefore, for now, probably, research will be carried out with the help of technology. "

I hope no one will suspect the president's incompetence. And, yes, the Americans "flew" to the moon in rag spacesuits, with diapers, most importantly, during the years of maximum solar activity. Also, according to the declared orbits of NASA (the passage of the Earth's radiation belts at the equator), which guaranteed a hundred percent lethal dose of radiation, but there was little information about this then.

Dokha, July 14 - RIA Novosti. The UAE Space Agency and the Muhammad bin Rashid Space Center announced on Tuesday that the launch of the first Emirati probe to Mars from Japan was postponed due to bad weather conditions, the UAE government said on Twitter.
The first probe entirely made by Emirati engineers and scientists was due to travel to Mars on Wednesday 15 July.
"The UAE Space Agency and the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center, in cooperation and after consultation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, responsible for the launch of the launch vehicle, announced the postponement of the launch date of the UAE Mars exploration mission, the Hope probe, due to weather conditions at the launch site. site on the island of Tanegashima, Japan, "- said in the message.
It is noted that experts are currently considering another date for the launch of the probe in July, which will be announced in the near future. (The start is scheduled for July 17)
The UAE's Nadezhda spacecraft was delivered to the Japanese Tanegashima cosmodrome for preparation for a launch to Mars in April. The probe was created in six years and will be the first UAE mission to Mars, its main task will be to study the planet's atmosphere and its climate.

No noise and dust !!
Maybe, of course, they won't take off .. but I'm surprised by the fact itself ..

For ZhZh-5, a hydrogen-oxygen engine YF-77 was created.
Now the Chinese are developing the ZHZ-9 superheavy rocket for the lunar and Martian programs .. Its planned carrying capacity is 140 tons. The Chinese rocket will be a real giant with a diameter of the main part of 10 meters. She will have four accelerators, each with a diameter of five meters. The height of the rocket is 93 meters. The engine thrust during take-off is about 6 tons. By 000, the Chinese promise the first launch.
In addition, China is developing the Great Campaign 8, a less powerful reusable launch vehicle, which is scheduled to make its first flight as early as 2021. It will land in the same way as the Falcon-9 and the Falcon Heavy steps - vertically.

[Edvagan]

Skyscrapers are also needed, and I am not against temples. This does not interfere with the development of our space program. In my opinion, the main reasons are the lack of political will, good organization, sensible management, a drop in the level of the design school. You will involuntarily remember Beria, who was in charge of the cosmonautics ...

While the starting grid of the route to Mars:
The first Arab AMS (UAE) - starts July 20-22 on the Japanese H2 missile. The purpose of the study of Martian weather.

then the Chinese - the landing stage and the rover, the end of the month.

then at about the same time a new Marisan rover flies, an improved Curiosity, the first Martian UAV of a helicopter type, with a range of up to 400 meters from the carrier, will be based on it (this is a lot). The device is equipped with a high-quality camera, in fact, its main purpose is reconnaissance and photography, both for choosing a route and those places where the rover will not go (rocks, mountains, steep craters, etc.)

[orionvitt]

the first Martian UAV-helicopter type,

Hard to believe. How will he fly there, in a rarefied atmosphere.

The pressure at the surface is on average 0,6 kPa or 6 mbar (1/170 of the Earth’s, or equal to the Earth’s at an altitude of almost 35 km from the Earth’s surface).

[donavi49]

Well, they’ll demonstrate it. It’s in fact just a camera with a battery and a light motor flies. It has an earth weight of 1,8 kg, and its blades are 120 cm long and rotate 3000 rpm.

[divanka2]

sense from Mars, and temples are needed for folk opium

[Doccor18]

Well done Chinese! They spare no money for basic science and research. Then they will definitely "shoot" ..

[Nikolai Petrov]

But the secret is simple - in China for theft, despite the ranks and ranks shot. A relative and 9 yuan for the cartridge pays. And we’ll soon ride the airships.

We’ll transfer to the airships.

You are mistaken. To the trampolines!

[Reserve buildbat]

Famously planning. I remember once saying that the flight to Mars will last 4 years. And then 7 months. Yes, and landing, and not just studying from orbit. Let's see what the Chinese do.

[Oleg1263]

Now the favorable location of the Earth and Mars. The window will last no more than a month. The Americans will also launch their mission "from day to day."

[NIKN]

In general, I read the title, something (without waking up) I thought people were being sent, with the thought, "but they will fly." This kind of faith in China’s ability subconsciously appears. Well done, what can I say.

[novel66]

Kolya it’s just not clear, but not Mars right away? they would go to the moon, they have a moon hare there, guardian of immortality

[NIKN]

Hi Roma! Well, the Chinese have some not entirely clear goal. We flew to the moon, made sure that the Americans were there, as it were ..., but assumed that they would prove the opposite. Now they have a hope that the Curiosity will not be found on Mars and the Americans will be "lowered".

[NordUral]

Nikolay! And where is such information that they were convinced that there were Americans on the moon?

[NIKN]

In the media. They provided pictures from the American landing site and what was left of the lander there, it did not take off all the way it landed, but just for takeoff it was needed with a minimum weight.

The Chinese automatic station "Chang'e-2" surveyed the landing sites of American manned spacecraft under the Apollo program. The images were posted on the scientific data portal of the Chinese Program for the Study of the Moon in 2018, but they were publicly available only in May 2020 in the book by Vitaly Egorov “People on the Moon. The main answers ”.
The resolution of images reaches 7 meters, i.e. on them you can see surface details of this size or slightly less. For example, the bottom step of the Apollo lunar module is about 9 meters across. The terrain areas most trampled by the astronauts were also large and should be distinguishable in the Chang'e-2 images.

As something like what I bought.

Roma, this conspiracy theme is not exhaustible. she simply will not be allowed to calm down, it will not be interesting. According to the same Chinese "confirmations" there are a lot of options. I only touched on this by answering "speculation" to your question, what did the Chinese on Mars forget. And so it doesn’t really bother me where anyone was. Here the heat was already sleeping nicely, and even beer did not go down my throat.

I didn’t even want to follow him.

I remember that they once said that the flight to Mars would last 4 years.

It meant a manned flight along a ballistic trajectory. About a year there, two years there, a year back. With the advent of a transport and power module with a nuclear power plant, this will no longer be relevant.

Here I also expect from Roskosmos a clear understanding of goals and objectives. So far, everything looks like in a rhyme:

Well, you are all just like children !!! The Chinese have already visited the moon, who have not seen the cartoon, look. And the cosmonaut in Gagarin's duplicate spacesuit bought for $ 1 was launched from the museum. And now they will fly to Mars. As one smart man used to say: By conversation, you cannot distinguish between the rich and the boastful. So here too - the Chinese can not build their own ANYTHING, absolutely NOTHING. All Chinese production is still alive because large American, European, Japanese, and even Russian corporations have not yet reached their hands in order to transfer their factories that are very polluting on the planet to other places. And in China the word "ecology" is not known in principle. The phrase "Chinese advanced production" is just bewildering to me, but what is it ??? If anyone names me at least one PURE Chinese product, I will be grateful for the science.

As stated, the main goal of the mission is to search for possible signs of life on Mars.

Signs of the idiocy of scientists, not life. Lushe would have extracted light from cucumbers, cheaper, at least. Mars does not have a magnetic field, it exists only at the Earth. This means that there can be no life, or even its signs, from the word at all. Radiation, however.

[Klingon]

there are magnetic fields, but they are heterogeneous. such as the earth does not, because the core of Mars has long cooled
