And what prompted China to send your vehicle to the moon? Prof. Ouyang Ziyuan from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained that there are three reasons: – First, we want to develop our technology. And this is our main reason. Secondly, we want this to better get to know the brothers and sisters of the Earth – that’s the moon. A third argument is the talent of our scientists – China must develop a team of specialists – said the scientist.

However, besides these advantages, experts explain that the moon can be a good source of minerals and energy. And because it is not in the air, it is also solar panels could work there more efficiently, and obtained from the energy “would support the entire world.” – The moon is also so rich in helium-3 – the fuel of nuclear fusion, the energy problem on Earth would be resolved in the next 10 thousand. years – said the scientist.

Mission has successfully

currently underway Chang’e lunar program is being implemented for many years and has to his credit two spectacular successes – Missions Polls: Chang’e-1 – fired in 2007, and Chang’e-2, fired three years later, which made it possible to make detailed observations of the Moon from orbit.
