"This is our future lunar exploration and asteroid exploration missions. And this is a part of our asteroid exploration mission, which is to hit an asteroid off course. For example, this small celestial body has a size of about 30 meters. We will launch two probes from the ground. The first one is for survey. And having studied it thoroughly after a period of survey, we will launch the other one, an impactor, which will follow our order to collide with the asteroid and hopefully divert it three or five centimeters away from its course. A deviation of three or five centimeters would change the trajectory by over 1,000 kilometers after around three months. The longer the time, the bigger the change of the trajectory. So, this is a very important mission. It's mainly to eliminate asteroids' impacts on human or potential threats of collision with Earth."
