The History of
China’s Chang’e
Lunar Program
THANKS
History
Chang’e 3 (2013):
• China’s first mission to successfully land on the Moon with a rover (Yutu).
• Main objective: Land on the Moon, deploy the Yutu rover, and conduct surface experiments.
• Significant achievement: China became the third country to land on the Moon, after the USA and
Russia.
Chang’e 4 (2019):
• First mission to successfully land on the far side of the Moon, a major milestone for lunar
exploration.
• Main objective: Soft land on the Moon's far side and deploy the Yutu-2 rover.
• The mission continues to study the Moon’s geology and environment, with significant discoveries.
Chang’e 5 (2020):

Introduction
Overview:
This presentation covers the history, components, environmental factors,
and technological advancements behind China’s Chang’e lunar missions.
Objectives:
• Discuss the history and development of the Chang’e missions.
• Examine the environmental challenges these missions faced.
• Detail the components, working modes, and operational methods.
• Analyze the classification and uses of the Chang’e missions.
History
Chang’e 1 (2007):
• China’s first lunar mission, launched to map the Moon's surface using a high-resolution camera.
• Main objective: Lunar orbiter and surface mapping.
• The mission was successful and marked China's entry into space exploration.
Chang’e 2 (2010):
• A follow-up to Chang’e 1, with improved resolution and additional technology tests for Chang’e 3.
• Main objective: Test technology for future soft-landing on the Moon, and a more detailed lunar
mapping mission.
• Also, the probe continued on to explore the second Lagrange point (L2), further expanding China’s
space capabilities.
Operating Environment
Temperature:
• The Moon experiences extreme temperatures:
• Daytime: Can reach up to 127°C (260°F).
• Nighttime: Can drop to -173°C (-280°F).
• The spacecraft and rovers need to be designed to handle these extremes, with thermal insulation
and power systems that adapt to these conditions.
Challenges:
• Communication delay due to distance (approximately 1.3 seconds for one-way transmission).
Uses and Applications
Chang’e Missions:
• Lunar Research: Analysis of the Moon’s surface, soil samples, and geological structure.
• Technology Testing: Testing new technologies such as landing, soft-landing, and autonomous
systems.
• Future Exploration: Paving the way for more ambitious missions like sample return from Mars or a
human presence on the Moon.
Mechanical Device:
• Outline the device’s purpose, applications, and potential future improvements (e.g., industrial,
space, consumer).
