我國將在月球建科研站

China plans to establish a scientific station on the moon and has started preparatory research, according to a key figure in the country's lunar exploration program.

我國探月工程總設計師近日表示，我國計劃在月球上建立一個科研站，已經啓動前期研究。

"The next steps in our lunar exploration endeavor will be challenging and demanding as we aim to set up a scientific outpost on the moon's south pole. In the near future, we will also send our astronauts to land on the moon," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's lunar exploration program and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, on Tuesday.

中國探月工程總設計師、工程院院士吳偉仁9月8日表示：“我國後續探月工程任務還很重，我們計劃在月球南極建設科研站，還將在不久的將來把中國人送上月球。”

He is now working on the planning and feasibility research for the proposed station and the lunar program's fourth step.

目前他正致力於推動探月工程四期、月球科研站等工程規劃論證工作。

In China's most recent lunar mission, the Chang'e 4 robotic probe, which consists of an unmovable lander and a rover named Yutu 2, was lifted atop a Long March 3B carrier rocket in December 2018 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, marking the country's fourth lunar exploration and the world's first expedition to the far side of the moon.

我國最近的一次探月行動是2018年12月在四川省西昌衛星發射中心用長征三號乙運載火箭成功發射了“嫦娥四號”探測器，這標誌着我國探月工程四期拉開序幕，也開啓了人類首次月球背面探測之旅。“嫦娥四號”探測器由着陸器和"玉兔二號"月球車組成。

The probe made a soft landing on the far side on Jan 3, 2019, and then released Yutu 2 to roam and survey the landing site in the South Pole-Aitken basin.

2019年1月3日，“嫦娥四號”探測器成功在月球背面軟着陸，釋放出“玉兔二號”月球車，開始對月球南極-艾特肯盆地的着陸區進行巡視探測。

So far, the lander and rover have operated for more than 610 days. Yutu 2 has traveled about 520 meters on the lunar soil.

到目前爲止，着陸器和月球車在月球表面工作時長超過610天，月球車已累積行駛520米左右。
