Engineered for durable, robust, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery installation, it turns abstract scientific concepts into direct, interactive visitor exploration. Hefei Panda is a global exhibit manufacturer exporting hands-on science displays to 50+ countries, with in-house engineering, fabrication, installation and commissioning.
Exhibit Summary
"Chang'e" Orbiting the Moon - Orbital Flight is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Aerospace category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
The displays use pictures and text combined with light strips to restore the entire orbital change process of "Chang'e-5" from the launch of the Earth into orbit to the returner and then recovery, allowing the audience to intuitively grasp the process of human lunar exploration flight.
Operation
At 4:30 on November 24, 2020, China's Long March 5 Yaowu carrier rocket was ignited and lifted off at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. After more than 2,200 seconds of flight, it successfully sent the "Chang'e 5" lunar probe into the Earth-moon transfer orbit. The launch was a complete success. The Chang'e-5 probe consists of four cabin sections: the orbiter, the returner, the ascender, and the lander. It contains 15 subsystems and has a launch mass of 8.2 tons. During the flight, it successively completed the launch into orbit section, the Earth-moon transfer section, the near-moon braking section, the lunar flight section, the landing and descent section, the lunar surface working section, and the lunar working section. There are a total of 11 stages of the mission including the surface ascent stage, rendezvous and sample transfer stage, lunar waiting stage, lunar-Earth transfer stage, and re-entry and recovery stage. It has become China's first spacecraft to carry out unmanned lunar surface sampling and return. The success of its mission marks the successful realization of the three-step plan of "circling, landing and returning" of the Chang'e lunar exploration project. The displays mainly show the flight trajectory of the "Chang'e-5" probe from the earth to the moon. During the hands-on process, a light strip simulating the trajectory was set up to show the interaction, concretely representing the lunar exploration trajectory, and simulating the orbit change process of the "Chang'e-5" at various stages.
