Project Quest: The Story Behind the Space Science Team at CUHK
Taiwan's ** University released heavy news on the 29th, announcing that it would cooperate with Japanese companies to promote "Taiwan's first international moon landing program". The highlight of the plan is that the "Deep Space Radiation Detector" developed by the teachers and students of ** University will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year to carry out the radiation measurement mission from the Earth to the Moon. This news has aroused the attention and heated discussions of netizens on the island.
Scientific Vision: The Development and Significance of Deep Space Radiation Detectors
*Zhang Qiwei, head of the university's Department of Space Science and Engineering, explained in detail about this international cooperation plan at a press conference on the 29th. He said that in recent years, countries have planned to return to the moon, hoping to establish bases in order to make use of the moon's resources. After cooperating with the Japanese private moon landing company, the CUHK team successfully designed the "Deep Space Radiation Detector" after 21 months of research and development of five versions. This instrument is mainly used to detect the radiation dose from the Earth to the Moon and the lunar surface, as well as the impact of the radiation environment on electronic products.
Fiscal fog: The huge investment of project funds has sparked controversy
However, this ambitious plan is not without questioning. According to reports, the entire project cost more than NT$19 million, including the cost of cooperation with Japanese company iSpace and the construction of equipment. Some netizens on the island have expressed doubts, believing that this may be the result of funding. During the discussion, some people bluntly said: "At a glance, you can tell that it is asking for funds", and some people even ridiculed: "You can't even shoot a satellite, this pie is really big." ”
Unknown mystery: the moon landing program sparks social controversy
The announcement of this international moon landing program has caused controversy in society about the allocation of resources and investment in scientific research. Zhang Qiwei revealed that this may be the first time in Taiwan's history that he has a chance to land on the moon, so he decided to mark the university logo on the detector and print the names of the participating students on the back of the circuit board. However, this move has sparked more discussion on social media, with some calling for attention to local issues, arguing that the land should be cared for before caring about "deep space".
The divergence of the ending: the balance between scientific and technological progress and social needs
As the moon landing progressed, the question of the balance between scientific and technological progress and the needs of society surfaced. While exploring the unknown, this international cooperation program has also provoked deep thinking about resource allocation. Whether this plan is the inevitable product of scientific and technological progress, or an adventure in the face of social needs, has become the focus of society. In the outcome of this divergence, the only certainty is that the moon landing program will continue to draw attention and controversy inside and outside the island.
