BEIJING: China launched its first ever extraterrestrial landing craft into orbit en route for the moon in the small hours of Monday, in a major milestone for its space programme。
The Chang'e-3 lunar probe, which includes the Yutu or Jade Rabbit buggy, blasted off on board an enhanced Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China's southwestern Sichuan province at 1。30am。 (1730 GMT)。
12月2日凌晨时分,中国首次向月球发射探测器,在中国太空计划中是一个重要的里程碑。
嫦娥三号月球探测器携玉兔月球探测车,搭乘长征-3B运载火箭,于凌晨1点30分从西昌卫星发射中心点火升空。
If all goes smoothly, the rover will conduct geological surveys and search for natural resources after the probe touches down on the moon in mid-December as China's first spacecraft to make a soft landing beyond Earth。
In 2007, China launched its first moon orbiter, the Chang'e-1 - named after a lunar goddess - which took images of the surface and analysed the distribution of elements。
如果一切顺利,中国首个月球探测器于12月中旬登陆火星后,月球车将进行地质勘查,寻找自然资源。
2007年,中国发射首个月球轨道器“嫦娥”一号,拍摄了月球表面,对元素分布进行了分析。
