China Aerospace issued biggest challenge: Russian expert gives amazing comment

China is the world's only large country that did not participate in the International Space Station project. But this year seems to intend to issue the biggest challenge to the field of manned spaceflight. This summer there will be three astronauts frame multiplied ten spacecraft Shenzhou manned rendezvous and docking in orbit Temple One target aircraft.

The mission's main purpose is to provide personnel and supplies between heaven and earth for Temple One round-trip transportation task, further evaluation of combination of the astronauts live, work and health protection capacity and environmental adaptability of space astronauts, space operating effectiveness of research, to carry out space science experiments, spacecraft experiments and space station orbit servicing key technology verification test.

Temple One target aircraft and space laboratory, launched on September 29, 2011. Docking mission with the Shenzhou VIII spacecraft in November 2011. June 18, 2012 to complete the first time in the history of China's manned spacecraft Shenzhou 9 docking. The three astronauts in China's first female astronaut Liu Yang.

Shenzhou the 10th manned spacecraft docking in orbit Temple One secondary success will mean that China will build its own independent space transport system. Has taken the first step in a decade of the China Manned Space Engineering ago, China's first astronaut in 2003, was successfully put into orbit and return smoothly. The Chinese space walk for the first time in 2008.

Years later, China will continue along the road of the Soviet Union and the United States through the conquest of space it? Research and forecasting center of Russia's political director Andrei Vinogradov, the answer is yes, and pointed out that there are at least three reasons to force China to do so.

He said: "One of the reasons associated with the national status manned flight plan - this is an enviable China would very much like to occupy an important seat in the world, including in the field of science and technology, so it is both in the international or manned flight in the country are extremely symbolic this is also a need to invest heavily in basic science. investment, although not immediate results, but in the future will bear fruit and aerospace technology will no doubt also be used for civilian and military purposes. "

China in the process of development of space based on independent research and development, but also manned the field of the use of advanced Russian technology, including the life support systems, manufacturing technology and space suits. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia sold to China over these technologies. The experts also found that China's Shenzhou spacecraft and is very similar to the Soviet "Union" spacecraft family, just as China's Shenzhou power, mobility is greater. The scientists also noted that little is the difference between the "Temple One" Soviet "Salyut" space station.

Even China's space program is a replica of the Soviet Union. Its task, the first construction of the orbital station, and slightly less than Russia's "peace". At the same time, China is also developing its own manned space program different from the Russia, the United States, European Union, Canada and Japan. Many experts believe that this is politically motivated, but Andrei Vinogradov hold a different point of view.

He said: "In fact, China is still nothing to display China began to participate in some kind of large-scale cooperation projects, then we will understand that the actual level of China's aerospace industry all we see today are a few, to a considerable extent on the a replica of the Soviet manned space program ten years ago, the Chinese people should be accumulated their own experience, to come up with something really interested in experts. "

In any case, in terms of the number of satellites in its orbit with Russia is comparable to. For the life of the satellite in China far more than Russia. China launched in 2010 the number is equal to that of the U.S. for the first time, 15 times. The only Chinese carrier rocket only 15 satellites successfully into orbit, while the U.S. orbit 35.

China is at an unprecedented rate to enter into space. In 2013, it plans to launch 20 satellites. Once all the successful launch, it will be more than the number of satellites in Russia and the United States. The experts noted that about three-quarters of China's satellite, directly or indirectly, for military purposes.
