中国首辆“月球车”亮相 尚未命名
Chinese scientists have unveiled the country's first moon rover, and invited the global public to name it.
The rover has two wings, stands on six wheels and will be powered by solar energy. It’s equipped with numerous detectors and information gathering systems such as a panoramic camera and radar measurement devices. It will patrol the Earth’s natural satellite for about three months. The data collected by the rover, such as 3D images, infrared spectrums and lunar soil analysis, will directly and accurately lead to greater understanding of the moon.
Domestic and overseas compatriots can submit their proposed names for the rover through the Internet, and the official name will be announced in November after an online poll on the selected proposals.
The Chang’e-3 mission to the moon, in which the rover will be part of, will take place in December.
