China's Tianjin 2 satellite exploration satellite has just transmitted a series of impressive images of the Earth and the Moon from a distance of 590,000km.

According to the National Space Administration (CNSA), the photos were taken on the afternoon of May 30 by a narrow-field navigation sensor attached to the Thien Van 2 spacecraft when it was about 590,000km from Earth.

This is the first time since launching on May 29 that the Thien Van 2 ship has provided clear evidence of the stable and accurate operation performance of the photography and data transmission system.

In the photo, the Earth appears as a bright blue gem in the darkness of space, while the Moon has a dark gray color, standing out against the black background of the universe.

CNSA affirmed that the successful transmission of this image proves the data communication capability and high stability of the electronic system on the ship, helping to prepare for deeper exploration stages.

The Tianshan 2 spacecraft is China's first mission to collect samples from the satellite near Earth 2016HO3, expected to bring them back to Earth around 2027, then continue the long journey to the Comet 311P located in the main belt between Mars and Mars, with a destination in 2034.

According to Mr. Han Tu Nguyen, Deputy Director of the Center for lunar Surveying and Space Engineering (CNSA), this mission also tests 3 technologies of taking new touches - quickly removing - removing, taking samples when floating and taking samples to stick to the surface.

The Thien Than 2's round solar panel system, designed specifically to exploit energy at a distance of 375 million km from the Sun, was also successfully deployed and transmitted images to Earth on June 6.

The name Thien Van (Tianwen) is taken from the famous poem of Khuat Nguyen, one of the greatest poets in Chinese history, written more than 2,300 years ago to question the universe and the laws of heaven and earth.

The Tianjin 2 mission follows the success of the Tianjin 1 - China's Mars rover that completed all three goals of "landing, landing, operating autonomous vehicles" in just one mission in 2020.

With steady progress, China is affirming its position as one of the pioneers in deep space exploration and Tianjin 2 is the next ambitious "question sent to heaven" of this country.
