Hang Nga 1 ships into Moon's orbit

On November 5, Hang Nga 1, China's first Moon exploration ship, flew into the Moon's orbit, opening a new turning point in its history.

According to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center (BACC), the Hang Nga 1 ship began decelerating at 11:15 am on November 5 in the position about 300 km from the Moon and into the Moon's orbit at 11:37 am after completing the deceleration.

According to Sun Laiyan, vice president of the Committee for Science, Technology and Defense Industry, Hang Nga's 'November 5' achievement shows that every step of the Moon exploration project has been done almost perfectly. .

Hang Nga-1 will be decelerated twice in two days 6 and 7-11 to reduce the speed to 1.8 km / s, allowing it to fly into the 3.5-hour trajectory and then slow down to 1, 8 km / s to fly into the 127-minute trajectory, where satellites will begin to officially perform the expected functions.
