Core Viewpoint - Chinese scientists are actively exploring fundamental questions about the universe, including its origin, the emergence of life, and the nature of black holes, through a planned satellite program during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period [1][2]. Group 1: Satellite Missions - The first satellite, part of the Hongmeng Plan, consists of 10 satellites forming a low-frequency radio telescope array aimed at capturing faint signals from the universe's early period, specifically before the first stars appeared [1]. - The second satellite, Kuafu-2, will be the first to orbit the sun's polar regions, aiming to uncover the ultimate secrets of solar magnetic activity and improve predictions of solar storms [1]. - The third satellite is the Exoplanet Survey Satellite, which will search for Earth-like planets in habitable zones, potentially identifying a second home for humanity [1]. Group 2: Extreme Universe Observations - The fourth satellite, eXTP, will operate outside Earth's atmosphere to observe extreme regions of the universe, such as the event horizon of black holes and the surfaces of neutron stars, testing Einstein's predictions and exploring the boundaries of physics [2].
