China News Service, Wenchang, November 24 (Guo Chaokai) "Solar sails are unfolding!" With the command of the dispatching post, warm applause rang out in the lobby of the Beijing Space Information Transmission Center.
At 4:30 on November 24, China used the Long March 5 Yaowu carrier rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Site to successfully send the Chang'e 5 probe into space.
In this launch mission, Tianlian-2 01 and Tianlian-1 02 once again cooperated to provide space-based measurement and control and data relay services, and set up a carrier rocket and Wenchang space launch site at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers. Information transmission link, "towing Chang'e" to fly into space.

It is reported that after the rocket ignited, Tianlian-2 01 quickly captured the target. After the rocket flew out of its measurement and control arc, it was then tracked by Tianlian-1 02 until the end of the space-based measurement and control mission.
As the first measurement and control method to capture the target and the longest duration in this mission, the space-based measurement and control systems work closely together, and data and information are sent and received normally, laying a solid foundation for the complete success of the mission.

"With'Chang'e' for nearly 10 years, Skylink satellites have also witnessed the steady and steady pace of China's lunar exploration." Wu Chen, an assistant engineer who walked out of the mission hall, was very excited.
Just now, he monitored the status of the relay satellite in real time, and corrected the antenna pointing in a timely manner to ensure that the transmission link is continuous and the telemetry is not lost.
Although this is his first time to participate in the "Moon Exploration Project" mission, he is proud of his sense of mission and honor for dedicating himself to spaceflight.
"Since the second half of the year, the center has successfully completed more than ten space-based space-based measurement and control missions for space launches. Almost every rocket that has successfully ascended to the sky from China has been accompanied by Skylink satellites." Gao Quan, the person in charge of the launch mission, told Reporter, before the mission, the Beijing Space Information Transmission Center conducted multiple joint debugging and joint tests with various units, and organized emergency drills for early launches, launch delays, and launch cancellations to ensure the correctness of the mission status.
Finally, during the implementation of the mission, all units of each system cooperated as a whole to finally form a beautiful picture of "inducing Chang'e" from the sky.
