China's lunar rover named "China" for solar operation

Lunar rover by China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Research Institute is primarily responsible for the development, weight 120 kg, carry a load of 20 kg, the life expectancy of 3 months, continuous walking on the moon within 3 km of 10 km, with automatic obstacle avoidance function. It is reported that the second half of this year, China will launch the first lunar landing detectors Chang E on the 3rd.

Has drawn attention is the launch of Chang'e III will be powered by a lunar rover by China has independently developed the "China card" and zero contact with the moon for the first time. "Lunar rover" full name "lunar rover", as one of the set of aerospace systems engineering and intelligent robot spacecraft to complete the exploration of the moon, study, collection and analysis of samples and other complex tasks.

According to experts, the Chinese lunar car with two suns instrument, one can freely rotate to find the position of the sun, absorbing heat to generate electricity; another you can cover the body of the vehicle to reduce heat dissipation. Chinese lunar rover the six rocker "walking institutions, wheels can adapt to different heights, a" crawling master.

In addition, it also has a robotic arm in the lunar soil, lunar rock exploration sampling, for field testing. At the same time, China's lunar rover solar inverter and nuclear power as an energy source. Lunar day and night intervals about the equivalent of 14 days on Earth, when the night falls, in order to prevent the vehicle equipment low temperature of minus 100 degrees Celsius nipped lunar rover must want the the nuclear battery's energy to warm and maintain communications with the ground . When the new day comes, the battery will be able to re relying on solar energy work.

Before the European part of the organization initiated the "dual" activities of Chinese solar inverter products, solar panels for sale in Europe importers levy heavy taxes on Chinese solar products will cause the EU more than 240,000 people lost their jobs. They will strive to prevent the European Union to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese PV companies.

According to "The New York Times reported on February 19, the European Parity Solar Alliance (Alliance for Affordable Solar Energy) claim to levy heavy taxes on Chinese solar products will result in large numbers of people unemployed, asked the European Commission not to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese manufacturers.

At present, the European of cheap solar Union was on the 18th of the evidence presented at a hearing of the European Commission.

EU investigation began in September last year, the Chinese manufacturer of solar products price dumping. The anti-dumping investigation covering exports from China worth 21 billion euros. June this year, the European Commission will decide whether to impose a temporary tariff. In November last year, the EU also launched on the Chinese solar inverters energy enterprises "countervailing" investigation.

Reported that the investigation against Chinese PV companies resulting split within the European solar inverter industry. European solar manufacturers insisted that the Chinese enterprises in violation of international trade law, to ask the European Commission to take measures to protect its cleaning industry. European solar installation and service company, has said that the best way to promote clean energy in Europe is to buy from China and other low-cost manufacturer of solar products.

German solar companies Soventix CEO of Toth vine (Thorsten Preugschas) on the 19th in a news conference that Chinese PV companies levy a tariff of 60%, this will result in European countries in the next three years, 242,000 People lose their jobs.

Toth vines last year, 80% of the company's solar panels for sale are purchased from China, its price is only 45% of European manufacturers. In his view, the Chinese company has been able to sell their products at a low price because of its scale. Toth rattan said, the difference is that the "economy of scale" of China-EU manufacturers, large manufacturers have a price advantage, not these companies are located in which country the sake.

European Trade Commissioner De Gucht's spokesman, said Clancy, the EU will not do any evaluation of unemployment caused by the tariff, because the industry already exists unemployment. Clancy said the investigation will consider the overall EU economic benefits, including importers and the use of imported products industry.
