Yinhe Moon Speed: Exploring China’s Lunar Orbiter
Introduction:
The Yinhe Moon Speed, also known as Chang’e 5-T1 or CZ-5E, is a lunar orbiter developed by the China National
Space Administration (CNSA). Launched on October 23, 2014, it was part of China’s Chang’e series of probes
designed to explore the Moon.
Body:
**Mission Overview:**
The Yinhe Moon Speed mission was primarily a technology verification and rehearsal for the upcoming Chang’e 5
lunar sample return mission, scheduled for launch in 2017 (which eventually took place in November 2020). The
spacecraft orbited the Moon for over a month before crashing into its surface on November 30, 2014.
**Technology Verification:**
The Yinhe Moon Speed was equipped with advanced technologies such as the first Chinese-developed lunar
communication relay satellite and a high-precision lunar soft landing system. These technologies were tested
during the mission to ensure their effectiveness for future missions, including the Chang’e 5 sample return
mission.
**Significance:**
The successful completion of the Yinhe Moon Speed mission marked a significant step forward in China’s space
program. It demonstrated China’s growing capabilities in lunar exploration and paved the way for more complex
missions like the Chang’e 5 mission, which successfully returned lunar samples to Earth in December 2020.
