Satélite chino capta inquietante foto de la Tierra y la Luna

satélite chino capta inquietante foto de la tierra y la luna

China.- China ha dado un gran paso en su ambicioso programa espacial con el lanzamiento exitoso del satélite de retransmisión Queqiao-2, junto con los mini satélites Tiandu-1 y Tiandu-2.

Estos satélites están diseñados para revolucionar las comunicaciones y la navegación en futuras misiones a la Luna, especialmente en su cara oculta, donde los desafíos de transmisión de datos son significativos debido a la falta de visión directa con la Tierra.

El satélite Queqiao-2, que lleva el nombre de un puente mitológico formado por urracas, servirá como un enlace crucial para las misiones de sondeo lunar en la cara oculta. Según la Administración Nacional Espacial China (CNSA), este satélite garantizará comunicaciones estables al menos hasta 2030.

   

Recientemente, uno de los satélites lanzados transmitió una imagen infrarroja sorprendente que muestra la rugosidad de la superficie lunar en su lado oculto, así como una vista distante de nuestro propio planeta.

Además de su participación en la misión Chang’e-6, que busca recolectar muestras de una antigua cuenca lunar en mayo, Queqiao-2 será esencial para las futuras misiones Chang’e-7 y Chang’e-8, programadas para 2026 y 2028 respectivamente. Estas misiones se beneficiarán del satélite como plataforma de retransmisión, según la CNSA.

Xiong Liang, el investigador y desarrollador detrás de Queqiao-2, lo describe como “el interruptor principal” para la cuarta fase de las misiones lunares chinas, destacando su papel fundamental en el establecimiento de comunicaciones para estas misiones.

A pesar del éxito de Queqiao-2, el reciente lanzamiento del satélite DRO-A/B terminó en fracaso al no lograr alcanzar la órbita retrógrada distante de la Luna. La recuperación de estos satélites lanzados sigue siendo incierta.
