Science and Technology Review

The movie “2012″ brings us to the end of the world’s infinite imagination, if the human face extinction on Earth, how can we do? Someone is really deep in Tibet as the construction of Noah’s Ark it? We are not aware of this, but scientists are planning to build on the moon ark carrying the end of human civilization.

Last month, scientists at the meeting in Strasbourg, France, discussed the concept of the lunar architecture database, the database will provide survivors on Earth to provide a reconstruction of human civilization, the remote access kit. “Doomsday Ark” is the most original version of the moon to build a repository of human knowledge bearer, including the DNA sequence, metallurgy shows that cultivated crops in the knowledge that the moon will be buried deep underground in a cellar, the signal transmitter would continuously send its location to Earth.

To avoid this database on the moon by the radiation and extreme temperature vacuum environment, it was buried under the rock, and has a solar panel to provide it with some energy. Scientists hope that by the year 2020 put the first batch of experimental data on the moon save, save its life span is 30 years, complete data on human civilization will be officially launched in 2035, this information will include Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish versions.

Like how? The grand plan enough, right? If you would like to participate, to the time you can put your things are kept in the moon above.

“River, who has shown signs of months, the moon shine on people.” Face the vast universe, the shining solitary months, people’s hearts will always give birth to sadness. June 3, for the first time in China, closed at the World Conference on the moon. 4 days of the session, the international space community Wise people to make Beijing has become “the capital of the moon,” let “the moon topic” once again become the focus of attention.

Since the end of 1972 the United States, “Apollo 17″ last time after the completion of the moon mission, no longer human beings for nearly 40 years, set foot on the moon, but did not stop to explore the moon. Into the 21st century, in the worldwide exploration boom again filled, countries in this field the intensity of competition.

Competition: From Earth to the Moon

“Do not Teenage Moon, no plate movement, is to study our planetary system a ‘open book’. This exciting challenge, will enhance the confidence of all mankind.” Chairman of the International Astronautical Federation in Bern so Phil Bach said. Moreover, development and utilization of lunar resources, the prospect of exploring the moon also urged people to speed up the pace.

In recent years, the United States, Europe, Japan and India have launched their own space program, lunar exploration, China has attracted worldwide attention, “Chang’e” moon exploration project what kind of progress there? In the World Conference on the moon Chinese scientists a more detailed picture of the Chinese lunar exploration, “the road map.”

“Following the ‘Chang’e One’ to achieve lunar flight, China will start the second phase of lunar exploration, will focus on the completion of survey the lunar surface, a soft landing and automatic inspections surveys and other tasks.” Academician of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program chief scientist Ouyang Far away, said, “Change II” off the end of this year, focusing on the subsequent follow-up, “Chang III” program landing points around the region focused on the investigation. Subsequently, the “Change III” and “Change the 4th” will be the implementation of the lunar surface, “soft landing” and the lunar surface inspection probe. China plans by 2020 to achieve the lunar surface sample return – UAV surface of the moon landing, with the collision of two ways to access and collect lunar samples, and returned to Earth for detailed experimental analysis. As a result, China will master the key technology of a series of lunar exploration.

Cooperation: From the Moon to Mars

“Overall, the human lunar exploration has been slow.” Secretary for the European Space Agency to Yakeduodan complained, on the one hand because of budget constraints, while the pace is too slow due to international cooperation. He then Soviet space race as an example loudly, “competition is the shortest way towards goal, but unfortunately, this competition is not sustainable.”

Let Yakeduodan frankly, even within Europe to achieve cooperation for exploration very difficult. Experts pointed out that the different understanding of the space program, different visions, different financial support, and cultural factors, political factors, technological factors and even intertwined, so that the world’s cooperation in the exploration of the Moon obstacles.

And more realistic than the moon to explore co-operation, in the more distant, technical requirements are much more complex field of Mars exploration, international cooperation is more active.

April 15, 2010, the United States to renounce the returning astronauts to the Moon “Constellation”, which will explore the goal of turning Mars. In this regard, let Yakeduodan said, the European Space Agency have decided to jointly open the Mars exploration with the United States. Moon in the meeting, many experts have spoken of the European Space Agency and China and Russia jointly participate in astronaut’s “Mars -500″ program. At the same time, China and Russia jointly put Mars Orbiter research concern.

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Science and Technology deputy director, deputy chief designer of China’s lunar exploration confirmed on board the cloud, China’s first Mars probe “Firefly One” will open next year, the Chinese people to Mars, with Russia a joint exploration of Mars and its environment. The idea is to board the cloud, the China’s future deep space exploration will be divided into three steps – the first step is the moon “soft landing”, visited the lunar surface exploration, the development of Mars probe; second step is to master the unmanned lunar sample return technology the development of Mars “soft landing” rover; The third step is manned lunar landing, Mars sample return no.

“The exploration of space has always existed from the origins of mankind after the earliest Africans, then the Mediterranean, the Vikings, Chinese, Americans, Europeans … … all have contributed. This will continue to explore , no one could stop. “Let Yakeduodan said.

Part of the country’s lunar exploration program

Russia plans to launch in 2012 has “Chandrayaan – Global” Ⅰ lunar orbiter and the “Chandrayaan – Global” Ⅱ lunar landing probe. In addition, the “Moon – Soil” program in 2014 to analyze the lunar soil; lunar samples brought back by 2015. In the above task is completed, the proposed automated lunar base. Japan September 14, 2007, was successfully launched “Kaguya” lunar probe to explore the moon’s origin and evolution. According to June 2009 the development of Japan’s “Basic Plan for the universe”, will be realized in 2020 feet walking robot exploration. March 3 this year, announced that due to development of manned lunar spacecraft and carrier rockets costly, the exploration of its manned space development will now stop at the manned spacecraft design based research. India October 22, 2008, “Chandrayaan” Ⅰ number successfully entered lunar surface from orbit of 100 km. 2 days later, on devices equipped with the collision and orbital separation, carried out the impact on the lunar surface. Plan contained in the 2013 launch unmanned lunar rover “Moon Ship” Ⅱ spacecraft, in 2015 plans manned lunar spacecraft, and the latest in 2020 the astronauts walk on the moon.
