探月工程看似远在天边，其实近在眼前。高大上的太空技术其实可能现在正被你穿在脚上......
听起来，探月工程可能离人们的日常生活很遥远，但科学家们可不这么认为。
Technologies utilized in the lunar probe missioncan also be used for civilian purposes, includingcutting smog, producing a type ofsugar alcoholand researchingself-driving vehicles, Chinese experts said.
那些用在探月工程中的技术其实还可以帮助我们改善生活，比如治理一下雾霾，生产木糖醇以及攻克无人驾驶技术，这可是专家说的。

具体怎么回事，且听专家道来：
“Many things we are very familiar with in daily life such as air-shockproof shoes,dried vegetablesandxylitolcome from the lunar probe missions,” Pang Zhihao, a Beijing-based space communications expert, told the Global Times on Thursday.
全国空间探测技术首席传播专家庞之浩说，其实我们生活中熟悉的许多东西比如气垫运动鞋，方便面里面的干菜包，还有饭后嚼一嚼的木糖醇都来自探月工程。
Pang added that the technology of the lunar exploration project can also help treat air pollution. “The rocket engine needs to burn through huge quantities of fuel to push Chang’e-3 to space. The burning technologycan be used on engines of cars andcombustion furnacesto eliminate harmful gases,” he said.
而且航天技术还可以帮助治理空气污染，顿时感觉雾霾有救了。庞之浩专家说火箭发动机是通过燃烧产生巨大推力将嫦娥三号推向太空，科研人员研究出的燃烧技术可以运用到汽车发动机以及燃烧炉上面，让燃料充分燃烧来消灭有害气体。
Fumes from chemical plants contain sulfurandsaltpeter, which are theprimary sources of air pollution. As Pang said, combustion furnaces using the burning technology to mix fuels can control the emission of hazardous substances by recycling sulfur or removing saltpeter.
化工厂排放出的废气里面含有硫磺和硝，这两个是空气污染的主要来源。庞之浩说, 装备好航天级别燃烧技术的工厂燃烧炉可以通过硫回收和脱硝的工艺技术来有效控制硫磺、硝等有害物质向大气排放。
Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Thursday that burning technology relies on the high temperature of the rocket enginethat can thoroughly burn harmful gases, which has been utilized in waste treatment plants.
宋忠平专家则介绍，燃烧技术依靠的就是运载火箭发动机的超高温，如此高温可以彻底燃烧有害气体，将它们分解，自然也不会再排放到大气中。
Song said that the automatic control equipment to avoid barriersthat Chang’e-4 used to land on the moon plays a significant role in thehostile environmentof outer space and helps the lunar lander descend smoothly.
当然，航天技术绝对不止应用于治理雾霾，嫦娥四号的避障设备 也是一个潜力股，自主控制的避障设备在太空的恶劣环境中扮演了重要角色，是帮助嫦娥四号顺利着陆的大功臣。
专家还说，这种设备也是可以应用到自动驾驶技术上的，比如说无人驾驶车和无人机。
Avoiding obstaclesis one of the greatest challenges for self-driving vehicles. A UK media reported in July 2016 that Tesla’s autopilot uses both cameras and radar to detect and avoid obstacles but there has been a double failure, which avoids false braking events.
避开障碍可以说是无人驾驶技术的一大挑战。据一篇2016年的英国媒体报道，特斯拉使用相机和雷达来探测和躲避障碍，但是都以失败告终。
另外，航天器上的太阳能电池技术也有很大的用途：
Song said the solar cell of spacecraftcan also be used for civilian purposes by allowing civilian solar cells to work underlow light.
据宋忠平描述，借用航天器太阳能电池的技术 可以让民用电池在低光状态下继续工作。
“Space technologies are high-grade, precise and advanced,” Song said, noting however, it is difficult to use them for civilian purposes in the near future because of their high cost.
宋忠平表示，如此高精尖的航天技术只要再降低一点成本就可以更多的走进我们的日常生活啦！
嫦娥四号带上天的棉花种子都发芽了，看来以后可以利用我们的各种航天技术玩转太空了！
