China News Service, Wenchang, November 24 (Guo Chaokai and Duan Xun) The reporter learned from the China National Space Administration that at 22:06 on November 24, Beijing time, the 3000N engine of the Chang'e-5 probe worked for about 2 seconds, successfully completing the first The secondary orbit was corrected and it continued to fly to the moon.
The launch and orbit precision of this mission is high, and the correction amount is small.
During the flight of the Chang'e-5 probe, affected by many factors, it will produce orbit deviation. It is necessary to complete the corresponding probe orbit control according to the deviation between the actual flight orbit and the designed orbit of the probe measured on the ground. Always fly on the proper track.
As of the first orbit correction, the systems of the Chang'e-5 probe were in good condition. They had been in orbit for about 17 hours and were about 160,000 kilometers away from the earth.
