Prospect of control technology in manned lunar exploration mission(Invited)

The pace of human exploration of the universe has never stopped. To go further is the unremitting pursuit. As early as 1969, the ''Apollo ''11 spacecraft of the United States realized the first landing of human beings on the moon, and then another five spacecraft successfully landed on the moon. In recent years, China's "Chang'e" project as a representative of the successful implementation of the unmanned lunar exploration program, making the lunar exploration once again by the world's attention. In the context of the continuous development of space exploration, manned moon landing will be on the stage again at some time in the future. The important processes of landing on the moon, lunar surface activity, take-off and ascent are all inseparable from the control technology. After introducing the early manned landing on the moon and the achievements of lunar exploration in recent years, this paper analyze the concept of the future manned landing mission in China, discusses the crucial control technology, and puts forward several development prospects.
