China launching artificial moon in 2020
China on moon to launch in 2020
China is planning to launch it's own artificial moon by 2020 replace street lamps and cover electricity cost in urban areas
• Chengdu a city in South Western Sichuan province is developing illumination satellites" which will shine eight time brighter than the real moon
•The first man made moon will launch from Xichang satellite launch centre in sinchuan. with three more to follow in 2022 if the first test goes well.
• though the first launch will be experimental the 2022 satellites will be the real deal with great Civic and commercial potential.
How might a artificial moon work
• The artificial moon would work as a mirror reflection sunlight back to earth, according to China daily
• It would orbit 500km about earth. Roughly the same height as the international space station. The moon orbits on average about 38,000 km above earth
• The report gave no details about what the fake moon would look like but Mr Wu, moon look like it would reflect sunlight across an area of between 10 km and 80 km with brightness "eight times that of real moon.
What impact would this have on the environment
• Some said it will surely confuse nocturnal animals while other say that many cities in China already suffer from light pollution
• The moon would significantly increase the night- time brightness of an alrralr light - polluted city, creating problem for Chengdu residents who are unable to screen out the unwanted light
• If the light is two strong "it will disrupt the night cycle of nature and this could possible affect animal.
The Russians came up with the idea
• In 1993 Russian scientist released a 20 m- wide reflector from a supply ship heading to the Mir space station. Which was orbiting at between 200 km and 420 km
• Znamya 2 briefly beamed a spot of light about 5 km in diameter to earth the light marched across Europe at 8 km/hr before the satellite burned up or re- entry.
