外文摘要：Lunar exploration is deemed crucial for uncovering the origins of the Earth-Moon system and is the first step for advancing humanity's exploration of deep space.Over the past decade,the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program(CLEP),also known as the Chang'e(CE)Project,has achieved remarkable milestones.It has successfully developed and demonstrated the engineering capability required to reach and return from the lunar surface.Notably,the CE Project has made historic firsts with the landing and on-site explo-ration of the far side of the Moon,along with the collection of the youngest volcanic samples from the Procellarum KREEP Terrane.These achievements have significantly enhanced our understanding of lunar evolution.Building on this success,China has proposed an ambitious crewed lunar exploration strategy,aiming to return to the Moon for scientific exploration and utilization.This plan encompasses two pri-mary phases:the first crewed lunar landing and exploration,followed by a thousand-kilometer scale sci-entific expedition to construct a geological cross-section across the lunar surface.Recognizing the limitations of current lunar exploration efforts and China's engineering and technical capabilities,this paper explores the benefits of crewed lunar exploration while leveraging synergies with robotic explo-ration.The study refines fundamental lunar scientific questions that could lead to significant break-throughs,considering the respective engineering and technological requirements.This research lays a crucial foundation for defining the objectives of future lunar exploration,emphasizing the importance of crewed missions and offering insights into potential advancements in lunar science.
