嫦娥五號月球探測器計劃明年奔月採樣

China plans to launch the Chang'e 5 lunar probe next year, which is expected to bring lunar samples back to the Earth, according to Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

據中國國家航天局月球探測與空間計劃中心副主任裴照宇介紹，我國計劃明年發射嫦娥五號月球探測器，預計將把月球樣本帶回地球。

While addressing a space conference, China's Space Day, Pei said that the Chang'e-5 lunar probe will be very complex, containing four parts: an orbiter, a returner, an ascender and a lander.

在中國航天日的太空會議上發表講話時，裴照宇稱，嫦娥五號月球探測器將非常複雜，包含四個部分：一個軌道器，一個返回器，一個上升器和一個着陸器。

The lander will put moon samples in a vessel in the ascender after the Moon landing. Then the ascender will take off from the Moon to dock with the orbiter and the returner orbiting the Moon, and transfer the samples to the returner, Pei said.

裴照宇表示，到達月球后，着陸器將會把月球樣本裝入上升器所攜帶的容器裏。之後上升器將從月球上起飛，並與繞月飛行的軌道器及返回器對接，將月球樣本轉移給返回器。

The orbiter and returner then head back to the Earth, separating from each other when they are several thousands of kilometers from the Earth. Finally, the returner will make its way back to the Earth.

然後，軌道器和返回器將返回地球，當距離地球數千公里的時候，它們會進行分離。最後，返回器將回到地球。

After fulfilling the three steps of its lunar probe program - orbiting, landing and returning - China will conduct further exploration of the moon, including landing and probing the polar regions of the moon, said Tian Yulong, secretary-general of the CNSA.

中國國家航空航天局祕書長田玉龍表示，在完成探月工程“繞、落、回”三階段計劃後，我國將對月球展開進一步探索，包括對月球南北極着陸探測。

China will further develop its space industry after the unmanned lunar exploration is accomplished and its own space station is established around 2022.

中國將在無人月球探索完成後進一步發展航天工業，並在2022年前後建立自己的空間站。

Many experts have proposed building a scientific research base on the Moon in the future, said Wang Liheng, a senior consultant of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

中國航天科技集團高級顧問、中國工程院院士王禮恆稱，許多專家都建議在未來要在月球上建立一個科學研究基地。
