摘      要：As the only natural satellite of the earth, the Moon has always been the first choice for human exploration of the solar system. China s lunar exploration project(Chang e project) was launched in 2004. At present, it has created a perfect end to the three phases of “orbiting, landing and returning. A series of remarkable research achievements have been made on the basic issues of current lunar scientific research, such as the Earth-Moon space environment, lunar surface material, morphology,geological structure, lunar subsurface and internal structure, and the origin and evolution of the Moon, further deepening the human understanding of the Moon. This paper briefly reviews the development process of China s lunar exploration project,summarizes the main research results and scientific understanding, and finally prospects to the future development of China s lunar and planetary exploration.
