Congrats you guys on Change e 5s success , Isn't Linkspace doing VTVL landing reusable rockets ?

And when is the Long March 9 rolling out is it 2030 ?

Thank you. Yes, there are more than one private companies in China doing reusable rockets.
2030 as planned if I remember right.

China will be the second nation to make VTVL landing reusable rockets I bet , I just wished CCP didn't force the copycat mentality to China. Which forced China to not being able to work with NASA.

But no worries China will have it's own space station soon and future Lunar and hopefully Mars missions and Voyager like probes.

???? what a thought ????

WHY do you blame China for what the US CONgress did???

What kind of mentality do you have?

Don't you see that simply doing nothing, still the political class in D.C. will be chasing Chinese entities? They will just invent thousands of reasons... only the brainwashed cannot see

Don't you understand that the US accept no rivalry let alone peer rivalry but submission incl. vassal state only???

Please don't spit your offending BS here!

World first autonomous docking in lunar orbit space. Previous are all manual docking from apollo mission.

From Andrew Jones @AJ_FI on 2020.12.06:

Success. The Chang'e-5 ascent vehicle and orbiter have completed rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit. Massive step towards bringing home fresh lunar samples.

China completes first spacecraft rendezvous, docking in lunar orbit
XINHUA 2020-12-06 -- longest footage so far, 04:32

The ascender of China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit at 5:42 a.m. (Beijing Time) on Sunday, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has announced.

This is the first time Chinese spacecraft have carried out rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit.

The samples collected on the moon had been transferred from the ascender to the returner safely by 6:12 a.m., said the CNSA.

Chang'e-5 is one of the most complicated and challenging missions in Chinese aerospace history, as well as the world's first moon-sample mission in more than 40 years.

BS ? It's proven though and I think the Chinese even agree about the copycat culture

To fix a problem you have to see accept it first

Then explain what do you mean by "copycat" case(s) that made the US Congress barring any cooperation between NASA and CNSA, the policies that deny any space cooperation between the USA and China incl. the Chinese participation in the ISS, EU Galileo GNSS Project (based on the US pressure) as well as the using the Chinese services for the space launch of any satellite containing the US part and/or technology -- just like the semiconductor embargo on Huawei with intent to kill or block its advancement.

So, name your copycat cases which you opined as the causes of such denial!

Be specific and verifiable. Do not just accuse in general hiding behind the obscurity!!!

Let us all judge here in open for such heavy and offending accusation!

This PakDef forum is NOT an MSM premise where one can hide behind obscurity and random accusations then flees with no accountability!

More like you cant accept China is now innovating too and can copy only. I guess China 5G is also copy from US. Oops! US do not have 5G and China hold most patent for 5G tech. Wonder where they copy from?

BEIJING, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- The ascender of China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced Sunday.

This is the first time Chinese spacecraft have carried out rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit.

The samples collected on the moon have been transferred from the ascender to the returner, said the CNSA.

Chang'e-5 is one of the most complicated and challenging missions in Chinese aerospace history, as well as the world's first moon-sample mission in more than 40 years.

The Chang'e-5 probe, comprising an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a returner, was launched on Nov. 24, and its lander-ascender combination touched down on the north of the Mons Rumker in Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms, on the near side of the moon on Dec. 1.

After the samples were collected and sealed, the ascender of Chang'e-5 took off from the lunar surface on Dec. 3.

Next, the orbiter-returner will separate from the ascender, and wait for the right time to return to Earth.

BEIJING, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- The orbiter and returner combination of China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully separated from the spacecraft's ascender at 12:35 p.m. Sunday (Beijing Time), according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

The orbiter-returner combination will continue to orbit the moon, and wait for the right time to return to Earth with lunar samples.

Earlier on Sunday, the probe's ascender successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit.

This is the first time a Chinese spacecraft has carried out rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit.

The samples collected on the moon have been transferred from the ascender to the returner, the CNSA said.

The returner of the probe is expected to land at the Siziwang Banner in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in mid-December.

China is building a new production base in the eastern coastal city of Haiyang, Shandong Province, for solid rockets | Xinhua | 2020-12-05

China Rocket Company and the government of Haiyang signed a contract, pledging to build a 163-hectare production base for solid-propellant rockets.

The base will be able to produce 20 solid-propellant rockets annually, incl. Smart Dragon series carrier rockets, upon completion. The production base will also offer services such as rocket assembling, testing and seaborne rocket launch for domestic and overseas aerospace companies.

The base is part of a comprehensive aerospace project currently under construction in Haiyang. The project includes an aerospace industrial park, a homeport for seaborne rocket launches and an aerospace-themed tourist park.

XICHANG, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- China successfully launched a new Earth observation satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 11:58 a.m. Sunday (Beijing Time).

The satellite, Gaofen-14, was sent into orbit by a Long March-3B carrier rocket.

Geofen-14 is an optical stereo mapping satellite. It can efficiently obtain high precision stereo images globally, draw large scale digital topographic map, produce digital elevation models, digital surface models and digital orthophoto images, and provide basic geographic information.

Sunday's launch was the 354th mission of the Long March rocket series.
