The Chang'e-4 lunar rover conducted video and photography of the surface of the satellite and found no traces of American astronauts there.

Decrypted data on transmitted messages between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the American Space Center have leaked onto the Internet. The scientific and biological goal of the expedition may lead to the discovery of new information about the first visit to the Moon by man.

Currently, Chang'e-4, in accordance with the flight program, is studying the mineral composition and structure of the lunar surface, and also conducts low-frequency radio astronomical observations.

Thanks to access to neural networks and modern telecommunications, we became aware of some details of closed correspondence between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the Space Center. J. Kennedy (Florida), concerning the lunar expedition.

Chinese lunar rover on the far side of the moon denied the fact of American landing

The decoding and translation of the information received indicates that the Chinese Chang'e-4 arrived at the landing site of the American Apollo 11 module and did not find there either a flag or instruments that were supposed to remain after their departure. Also in the exchange of messages, there is a clear desire of the American center to “turn away” the lunar rover from visiting the specified point, citing the complexity of the landscape and geomagnetic conditions. There is even mention of a promise to reduce duties on Chinese goods and every intention to help, just to prevent filming of Neil Armstrong's landing site.

The Chinese control center reported that it tried to change the route of the lunar rover based on the recommendations of its colleagues, but lost control over it for some time, and it continued its planned movement. After the question arose about the absence of the American flag at the previously indicated coordinates, the Florida center promised a speedy consideration of the case for the release of Meng Wanzhou, and expressed hope for mutual understanding and cooperation. The Beijing center, in turn, thanked for such a “business-like approach” to space issues.

A new chapter has opened in lunar exploration: China's Chang'e-4 space probe landed safely on the far side of the Moon on its first attempt.

According to the Chinese space agency, at 10:26 am Beijing time (02:26 GMT), the device touched the lunar surface in the area of ​​one of the largest craters in the entire solar system - the South Pole-Aitken Basin.

"This is an important milestone in Chinese space exploration," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's lunar program.

The probe delivered equipment to the Moon, with the help of which a number of experiments and studies will be carried out.

The first photographs from the satellite have already been sent to Earth and published by Chinese state media.

Since direct communication with the probe is impossible, all transmitted images and data are first transmitted to a relay satellite and only then reach Earth.

For the first time in history

Chang'e-4 is a Chinese automatic interplanetary station for studying the Moon and outer space. It consists of a stationary lunar station and a lunar rover.

It has built-in:

• camcorder;
• geological radar for studying lunar soil;
• infrared spectrometer for studying minerals;
• an instrument for studying the effects of solar wind on the lunar surface.

This is the first ever landing on the far side of the Moon and a huge step in the exploration and exploration of space.

On board the Lunokhod, in a sealed container, there are seeds of potatoes, rapeseed, the Arabidopsis plant (arabidopsis) and silkworm larvae. Scientists will test whether a biological system can exist under such conditions.

In recent years, many flights have been made to the Earth's satellite. Most missions were limited to orbit, some flew by.

The last crewed landing on the Moon was made by the Apollo 17 spacecraft in 1972.

The far side of the Moon is often called the dark side, but in reality it is the part of the lunar surface that is not visible from Earth. The Moon and Earth rotate synchronously, so the surface of only one of the satellite hemispheres is visible from the Earth.

The far side of the Moon has more craters and denser soil.

China's plans in space

China aims to become one of the leading space powers along with the United States and Russia.

In 2017, Beijing announced preparations for a manned expedition to the Moon. China plans to begin construction of its own space station next year and complete it by 2022.

The BBC's correspondent in Beijing, John Sudworth, notes that until the successful landing of Chang'e 4, almost nothing was known about the preparations for this mission.

In 2003, China became the third country after the USSR and the USA to independently launch a man into space.

The Chinese spacecraft Chang'e-4 recently made a soft landing on the far (invisible) side of the Moon. And immediately a sensation spread throughout the world: citing photographs taken by the lunar probe, a number of Chinese scientists and politicians questioned the fact that Americans visited the Earth’s natural satellite in 1969. Having studied these photographs of the surface of the Moon in the place where the astronauts of the American Apollo lunar program allegedly visited, the Chinese categorically declared that the entire epic of landing a man on the Moon was a “carefully thought-out hoax” with the aim of “deceiving the world.”

At least, it is reported that 2000 (!) senior party functionaries of the CCP wrote an official appeal to the US government, in which they asked the Americans for an explanation about the “legendary” landing of members of the Apollo expedition on the Moon. In the document, signatories of the petition expressed doubt that astronauts had ever been on the Earth's satellite. In particular, this was stated by one of the former CCP party members Bao Tong. But the most surprising thing is that immediately after this there was a statement from the famous Russian inventor and public figure Yuri Mukhin, claiming that our country has long known about this hoax.

So, are they right? It means that there were conspiracy theorists and supporters of the so-called Moon conspiracy, who for the past 50 years have been claiming that there was no American landing on the Earth’s satellite? It is a generally accepted fact that in the 1960s the Soviet space program was an order of magnitude ahead of its American counterpart. Footage of the US President's address has flown around the world John Kennedy to the American people, in which he was forced to explain to his electorate the reasons why the Soviet cosmonaut was the first in space Yuri Gagarin, not an American astronaut.

It was at that time that the American leadership proclaimed the goal of its space ambitions: if it was not possible to be the first to enter outer space, then we must try to become the first at least in landing on the Moon. But here it should be noted that the first flight of an American astronaut Alan Shepard into space on May 5, 1961 was just a suborbital flight, however, like the astronaut’s flight that followed on July 21 Virgil Grissom. What does it mean? And the fact that the Americans only crossed the lower, 100-kilometer, boundary of space: Shepard’s maximum flight altitude, for example, was only 187 km. For comparison: Yuri Gagarin rose to 327 km in his Vostok, having performed an orbital, that is, space flight.

All this suggests that at the time when the USSR was the first to go into space, the United States, in its attempts to catch up with it, was at a fairly average level of both scientific and “rocket” development. And only when the loss became obvious, the Americans gave carte blanche Wernher von Braun, which until then had simply stood idle, being in the shadows (due to its fascist past). How did the United States manage to jump so quickly not just into space, but all the way to the Moon? The only way, as logic dictates, is to falsify the landing, which a huge number of the planet’s population is still convinced of.

By the way, supposedly closed correspondence between the Beijing Space Flight Control Center and the Space Center has already appeared on the Internet. J. Kennedy (Florida) during the Chinese flight of the Long March-3B launch vehicle with the Chang'e-4 lunar probe on board until the latter landed on the surface of the Moon. It shows that the Chinese spacecraft landed near the landing of American astronauts from the Apollo 11 lunar module in July 1969. And then we can cite only some key phrases of this correspondence.

The Beijing Center for Control and Operations reports that the Chang'e-4 apparatus allegedly plans to conduct a comprehensive survey, which will include a variety of observations, studies, and so on, including a study of the landing site of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. In response, Kennedy Center specialists, turning to their Chinese colleagues, strongly discourage them from conducting a survey of the Apollo 11 landing site - “due to difficult landscape and geomagnetic conditions,” which allegedly could threaten the expedition. And already on January 5, the Beijing Control Center allegedly reported that Chang'e-4 had reached the designated location. There were no traces of the Apollo 11 landing and no American flag there. “How can you explain this?” the Chinese “Tsukpovites” ask.

In general, 10 years ago the Japanese did not find any traces of American presence on the Moon. Their automatic Kaguya probe also captured the empty places where the astronauts were supposed to land: no remnants of equipment or rocket stages, no traces of any kind - nothing at all! It should be noted that in the debate about whether Americans were on the Moon, which has been going on for almost 50 years, a variety of specialists took part: conspiracy theorists, conspiracy theorists, astronauts, astrophysicists, specialists in the field of space communications, ufologists and many others.

And, of course, journalists. One of them is a very serious TV presenter, economist, deputy and politician Alexey Pushkov, who at one time (more than a year ago) prepared a number of programs on this topic. So Alexey Konstantinovich also believes that the Americans did not land on the Moon. On the other hand, the astronaut Alexey Leonov, for example, he is convinced that they were there, which he also expressed more than once in his interviews. Where is the truth? And who to believe? All that remains is to wait until the Chinese conduct a thorough investigation and analysis of the Chang'e-4 flight, as well as an examination of the brought materials and photographs taken on the Moon. Then, perhaps, something will become clear. In general, it is most likely too early to put a final point on this issue.

The Chinese Queqiao satellite, transmitting a signal from the Chang'e 4 lunar probe, sent an amazing photographic image of the “dark side” of the Moon and the distant Earth.

The Queqiao relay satellite is located in a halo orbit at a distance of 65 thousand - 80 thousand km from the Moon.

Chang'e 4 was launched on December 7, and on January 2, the probe made the world's first soft landing on the far side of the Moon in the 186 km wide Von Karman crater. The six-wheeled Yutu 2 rover has already left the landing site and reached the edge of a smaller crater inside the Von Karman crater. He must work on the planet for at least three months.

Among the main objectives of the mission are the study of lunar soil, as well as testing the possibility of radio astronomy observations in the absence of interference from Earth. Based on the research results, scientists will consider the possibility of placing a small radio telescope on the surface of the Moon.

In addition, a biological experiment will be conducted in the probe's landing platform. Thus, the apparatus sent to the Moon contains a sealed container with seeds of potatoes and the Arabidopsis thaliana plant, as well as silkworm eggs.

Scientists want to test whether it is possible to create a closed ecosystem in spacecraft, in which the larvae will produce carbon dioxide, which plants can convert into oxygen through the processes of photosynthesis.

The Queqiao satellite was launched in May last year.

On January 3, the Chang'e-4 probe launched by China successfully landed on the far side of the Moon.
Earlier it was reported that China launched the Chang'e-4 lunar probe, which should make the first ever landing on the far (“dark”) side of the Moon.

Last week, China launched the Chang"e 4 mission to the far side of the Moon, including a lander and a rover. If the program is successful, the Celestial Empire will become the first country in the world to make a soft landing on the "dark part" of the Earth's satellite. talks about Chang"e 4, as well as China’s plans to explore the Moon.

Out of range

The launch of the Long March 3B medium-class rocket with a four-ton landing apparatus and a 140-kilogram lunar rover took place on December 8 at approximately 02:00 local time (December 7 at 21:00 Moscow time) from the Xichang Cosmodrome (southwestern Sichuan province). The mission is scheduled to enter lunar orbit on December 12. A soft landing in the South Pole-Aitken basin area on the surface of the Earth's satellite is planned, presumably, in the first days of January.

Since the far side of the Moon is out of line of sight from Earth, China plans to use the Queqiao relay satellite, launched on May 21 on a Long March 4C rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, to communicate with the mission. The 425-kilogram spacecraft is equipped with S- and X-band transmitters and is located at the L2 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system (approximately 455,000 kilometers from the planet). After the launch of Queqiao, which took place on May 21 on a Long March 4C rocket from the same Xichang, China announced that the satellite would undergo tests for six months, which by now have probably already been completed and considered successful.

There are several reasons why China decided to land Chang'e 4 in the South Pole-Aitken basin. It is the deepest and oldest known crater on the Moon, as well as one of the largest in the solar system. The South Pole-Aitken basin originated 4.2 -4.3 billion years ago, that is, only 300-400 million years after the birth of the Moon. The depth of the impact structure exceeds eight kilometers, and the difference between the highest and lowest levels is estimated at 16 kilometers. The diameter of the crater exceeds two thousand kilometers.

Scientists believe that the basin's soil contains material from the satellite's mantle, and therefore the study of such an ancient structure will help clarify the history of the formation of the satellite. For this reason, China is confident that soil samples taken from the far side of the Moon should have a different composition than those obtained by the United States as part of the Apollo program. In addition to scientific tasks, the mission will allow China to test its capabilities in the implementation of long-distance space communication systems, and will also secure for the PRC the status of the second space superpower after the United States.

Back to USSR

China's plans to explore the Moon are consistent. Chang"e 4 was preceded by four programs. The first two were orbital; during the third, the Celestial Empire made a soft landing on the satellite. As part of the experimental Chang'e 5-T1, the Chinese developed key technologies for the fifth program - Chang"e 5, which should include an orbital, landing, takeoff and return modules. Key points of the mission are drilling the lunar surface and taking samples with a mechanical arm, as well as a soft landing and take-off.

The landing site for Chang'e-5 is the relatively young volcanic peak of Ryumkera within the Ocean of Storms. During the mission, scientists hope to find out how erosion processes developed in this region and how they are related to the gradual cooling of the Moon. Chang'e 5 was originally planned to be launched in November 2017 on a heavy Long March 5 rocket, the payload of which is slightly inferior to the American Delta IV Heavy. However, after the unsuccessful second launch of the Chinese carrier, the launch of the program was postponed to 2019.

If successful, the program will be the first in more than 40 years in which lunar samples will be delivered from a satellite to the planet, and the PRC will significantly offset the successes of the USSR’s lunar program. The Chinese plan to repeat elements of Chang'e 5 in Chang'e 6, which will be China's last major unmanned mission to the Moon. After this, the country will begin full-scale preparations for a manned flight to the Earth's satellite, hoping to repeat and even surpass the success of the American Apollo program. To do this, China has all the prerequisites.

First of all, the country will build a national orbital station, including at least three modules, between 2019 and 2022. In this way, China will not only practice the regular presence of taikonauts in space, but will also finally gain a foothold in near-Earth space. Although the Chinese manned space program is actually copied from the Soviet one (the Shenzhou ships are similar to the Soyuz, and the spacesuits of the taikonauts are similar to the Falcons), Russia is listed as a partner of China only formally - about 80 percent of the latest Russian-Chinese intergovernmental agreements in the field of astronautics concern rocket engines.

Russia would like to sell the RD-180 to China in the same large quantities as the United States, which does not suit the Celestial Empire, which is interested in buying a small batch of power units. Currently, the Russian side, at least officially, will advise the PRC in the field of rocket engine technologies, and assures that there will be no technology transfer, as in the case of Shenzhou.

Powerful rocket engines are needed by the PRC for the super-heavy launch vehicle being created, the Long March 9, the payload of which should be comparable to the American Saturn 5. The rocket is planned to be launched in 2028, and by 2030 the PRC expects to send people to the Moon. In addition to Long March 9, China will need a lunar spacecraft for a manned mission to the Earth's satellite. In its creation, the PRC will be helped by the Yuzhnoye design bureau, which, according to unofficial sources, promised to transfer to the Chinese side digitized design documentation for the “E block” of the Soviet descent lunar module, originally intended for landing in the late 1960s - early 1970s of the first astronaut to the moon.

It is worth noting that China and Ukraine have previously interacted in the space field. In particular, Russia's western neighbor took part in the development of engines for the Long March family of rockets, the power units of which are based on the oxygen-kerosene RD-120, which is installed on the second stage.

Repeating lessons

The PRC's lunar plans seriously worry the United States, which admits that if the current pace of space program implementation continues, the Celestial Empire will end up on the Earth's satellite before the United States returns there. Washington seriously states that Beijing's space program is consistent and long-term, jeopardizing the US position as the only space superpower on the planet.

At the same time, almost the main threat to Chinese space successes in Washington is seen not in a technological, but in an ideological plane - a similar situation arose in the late 1950s - early 1960s, when the USSR, having launched the first artificial Earth satellite, and then the first cosmonaut, for a short period of time created the illusion of the success of the Soviet alternative to the Western one.
