The natural satellite of our planet in recent years again turns into a tidbit for space powers.
At one time, the Soviet, then the American, appeared on the Moon research devices, then, after many years, I visited there Chinese science station. Now studying the closest to Earth space object decided to do Japan. Already in 2019, the Japanese intend to carry out their first unmanned flight to the moon. So Thus, the Land of the Rising Sun will become the fourth state in list of conquerors of the Earth satellite.
Just the other day it became known that the Japanese national the space research program has undergone major changes. Previously, the plans of its developers meant that the drone will be sent to the moon only in the next decade, but now the Japanese decided to do this in the current five-year period. Creature spacecraft for these purposes will begin as early as next year.
At the Japan Committee on National Space Policy stated that the lander will be manufactured using the most advanced technology. The latest electronics Japan has always famous for allowing the drone to lunge to the nearest hundred meters from the intended target.
It is worth noting that the Chinese automatic interplanetary Chang’e-3 station, which was the last to visit our planet’s satellite, for example, deviated from the given point of landing on four hundred meters. Therefore, the Japanese lunar mission should become much more professional. Scientists of the Land of the Rising Sun, celebrate reporters, it may well be able to achieve similar accuracy thanks to the unique moon surface recognition system. Powerful the computer will scan the satellite and automatically correct the flight path of the spacecraft.
The government of Japan believes that the upcoming high-precision landing on the moon will significantly affect the development of national space programs and will allow the country to continue to provide assistance to others space exploration States, and in particular subjugation of the natural satellite of the Earth.
