Are you heard about man made moon, let's know about it.
"Yes"! It's news from China. China is trying to launch Man made moon (artificial moon) by 2020 to replace streets lamp and lower electricity costs in urban areas.
Chengdu, a city in southwestern Sichuan province, is developing "illumination satellite" which will shine in tandem with real moon, but are eight times brighter, according to China daily.
The first man made moon will launch from xichang Satelite launch center in Sichuan,with three more to follow in 2022 if the first test goes well, said wu,chunfeg Head of Tian Fu New Area science society, the organization responsible for the project.
Now China is doing specific work in space missions. It will intresting if China launch this satellite successfully. Though the first launch will be experimental, in 2022 satellite "will be real deal with great civic and commercial potential, he said an interview with China daily.
By reflecting light from the sun, the satellite could replace street lamps in urban an areas, saving an estimated 1.2 billion uyan($170 million) a year in electricity costs for Chengdu, if the man-made illuminate 50 area square kilometers. The extraterrestrial source of light could also help rescue efforts in Disaster zone.
It will be China's ambitious programs. As China's space program races to catch up with the
a number of ambitious project are in pipeline, the chang'e-4 lunar probe - named after the moon goddess in Chinese mythology - which aims to launch later this year. If it succeed, it will be the first rover to explore the "dark side" of the moon.
So many countries are running in the race. India is doing something difference in space program. India's Chandryan-2 is also coming soon. China is not first country to try beaming sunlight back to the earth. In 1990s, Russian scientists reportedly used giant mirrors to reflect light from space in an experimental project called znayma or Banner.
