Technique design and realization of the circumlunar return and reentry spacecraft of 3rd phase of Chinese lunar exploration program

Abstract

The circumlunar return and reentry spacecraft of 3rd phase of Chinese lunar exploration program is the first deep space reentry mission of China. The purpose of the mission is to break through the key technique of moon-earth hyper speed reentry, and lay foundations of the Chang'E-5 probe. This report introduces the characteristics, overiew and development history of the mission, gives a comprehensive to the double-platform and multi-target scheme, on-orbit procedure, and presents on-orbit results of the mission. The on-orbit results show that all function and capacity meets the requierments of the mission, the spacecraft is in good condition when flying, and the scheme design is correct and feasible.
