Different orbits!
Apollo spacecraft:
There are astronauts on board, and the spacecraft must run a life support system.
The Apollo spacecraft has limited electricity, oxygen, food, and water, which cannot withstand long-term consumption, and must complete the mission in the shortest time.
They chose a radical flight route:
They used the most powerful and expensive super rocket in human history, Saturn V
The Apollo spacecraft hardly used the gravitational slingshot effect, and was even reluctant to circle the earth one more time. Instead, it accelerated at full speed. When returning to the earth, they set off from the lunar orbit and directly entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. When the spacecraft was captured by the earth, it directly slowed down and landed.
Advantages: simple and direct, saving time
Disadvantages: requires super rockets and large engines, a lot of fuel, high flight control risks, and low safety redundancy.


不同的軌道!
阿波羅飛船:
飛船上有宇航員,并且必須運(yùn)行生命維持系統(tǒng)。
阿波羅飛船的電力、氧氣、食物、水都有限,經(jīng)不起長期消耗,而且必須在最短的時間內(nèi)完成任務(wù)。
他們選擇了一條激進(jìn)的飛行路線:
他們使用了人類歷史上最強(qiáng)大、最昂貴的超級火箭——土星五號
阿波羅飛船幾乎沒用引力彈弓效應(yīng),甚至不愿意再繞地球一圈,而是全速加速,返回地球時從月球軌道出發(fā),直接進(jìn)入地月轉(zhuǎn)移軌道,當(dāng)飛船被地球捕獲時,直接減速降落。
優(yōu)點(diǎn):簡單直接,節(jié)省時間
缺點(diǎn):需要超級火箭和大型發(fā)動機(jī),需要大量燃料,飛行控制風(fēng)險(xiǎn)高,安全冗余度低。

Chang'e probe:
It is an unmanned spacecraft that does not require any life support system. Solar panels provide it with almost unlimited endurance. It has plenty of time to slowly complete the mission.
They chose an economical and conservative flight route:
They did not even use the full version of the CZ5 rocket, but only a small thrust version to make full use of the gravitational slingshot effect. Whether going to the moon or returning to the earth, they first fly around the planet, using the slingshot effect to accelerate, save fuel to the greatest extent, and adjust the orbit carefully and gradually.
When returning to the earth's orbit, they also slow down four times and gradually adjust the orbital height, repeatedly orbiting the earth, and finally cut into the earth's orbit at a very small angle and return.
Advantages: low cost, no need for particularly large rockets and engines, and no need to consume too much fuel. The orbit can be adjusted multiple times, with low control risk and high safety redundancy.
Disadvantages: slow speed


嫦娥探測器:
它是一艘無人航天器,不需要任何生命支持系統(tǒng),太陽能電池板為它提供了幾乎無限的續(xù)航能力,它有充足的時間慢慢完成任務(wù)。
他們選擇了一條經(jīng)濟(jì)保守的飛行路線:
他們甚至沒有使用全尺寸版的長征5火箭,只使用了小推力版本,充分利用引力彈弓效應(yīng)。無論是前往月球還是返回地球,都先繞行星飛行,利用引力效應(yīng)加速,最大程度節(jié)省燃料,并小心謹(jǐn)慎地逐步調(diào)整軌道。
在返回地球軌道時,它們也經(jīng)過四次減速并逐步調(diào)整軌道高度,反復(fù)繞地球運(yùn)行,最后以很小的角度切入地球軌道返回。
優(yōu)點(diǎn):成本低,不需要特別大的火箭和發(fā)動機(jī),也不需要消耗太多燃料。可多次調(diào)整軌道,操控風(fēng)險(xiǎn)低,安全冗余度高。
缺點(diǎn):速度慢

The rockets used in the two missions have huge differences in size and cost
The Apollo program took place in the 1970s, when the United States and the Soviet unx engaged in a fierce space race. Various plans spared no expense and cost more than $25 billion (equivalent to more than $180 billion today)
China's moon landing plan took place in recent years. Space plans of various countries are very concerned about reducing costs. China's lunar exploration plan has a budget of $200 million.
Different mission demands determine that they choose different plans.


兩次任務(wù)使用的火箭在尺寸和成本上存在巨大差異
阿波羅計(jì)劃發(fā)生在 20 世紀(jì) 70年代,當(dāng)時美國和蘇聯(lián)展開了激烈的太空競賽。各項(xiàng)計(jì)劃不惜重金,耗資超過250億美元(相當(dāng)于今天的 1800 多億美元)
中國的登月計(jì)劃是近幾年的事情,各國的航天計(jì)劃都非常注重降低成本,中國的探月計(jì)劃預(yù)算2億美元。
不同的任務(wù)需求決定了他們選擇不同的方案。
