卫报：中国发射“嫦娥五号”实施采样返回

China has launched a robotic spacecraft to bring back rocks from the moon – the first such attempt by any country since the 1970s.

The Long March-5, China’s largest carrier rocket, blasted off at 4.30am Beijing time on Tuesday from Wenchang space launch centre on the island of Hainan carrying the Chang’e-5 spacecraft.

The Chang’e-5 mission, named after the ancient Chinese goddess of the moon, will seek to collect lunar material to help scientists understand more about the moon’s origins and formation.

中国成功向月球发射一架航天器进行采样——自20世纪70年代来，首次有国家作此尝试。

周二，北京时间凌晨4：30，中国最大的运载火箭长征五号搭载嫦娥五号，在海南岛文昌航天发射中心成功发射升空。

嫦娥五号，取名于中国古代的月亮女神，本次主要任务是收集月球成分，以帮助科学家更好的了解月球起源和组成。

If successful, the mission would make China only the third country to have retrieved lunar samples, joining the United States and the Soviet Union.

Upon entering the moon’s orbit, the space craft is meant to deploy a pair of vehicles to the lunarsurface: a lander and an ascender.The landing is due to take place in about eight days, according to Pei Zhaoyu,a spokesman for the mission. The probe is due to be on the lunar surface forabout two days, and the entire mission is scheduled to take around 23 days.

如果任务成功，中国将成为继美国和苏联后的第三个获得月球样本的国家。

进入月球轨道后，航天器将在月球表面安放两个装置：着陆器、上升器。根据此次任务的发言人裴照宇表示，预计8天后完成着陆，探测器将在月球表面停留大约2天，全部任务预计耗时23天左右。

The plan is for the lander to drill into the lunar surface and scoop out soil androcks using a robotic arm. This material would be transferred to the ascender vehicle, which is due to carry it from the surface and then dock with anorbiting module.

The samples then would be transferred to a return capsule for the trip to Earth,with a landing in China’s Inner Mongolia region.

任务计划是由着陆器在月球表面深入钻取采样，利用机械臂挖出岩石和土壤，再将样本材料转移至上升器，上升器将运载样本与轨道器完成对接。

然后样本将从上升器中转移到返回器中，接着返航地球，着陆内蒙古。
