BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- China plans to launch four manned spacecraft as part of its space station construction program in the next two years, said an official with the China National Space Administration (CNSA) Thursday.

China's manned space program will be very busy in 2021 and 2022, said Wu Yanhua, vice administrator of the CNSA, at a press conference on China's Chang'e-5 lunar mission.

Wu said a total of 11 missions to build China's space station are planned for the next two years, including the construction of the core module that is scheduled to be launched in the first half of next year, two lab capsules, as well as four manned craft and four cargo craft.

A large number of in-orbit scientific experiments will then be carried out on China's space station, he added.

In October, the China Manned Space Agency announced that the country's manned space program had entered the mission preparation stage with the selection of a new group of 18 reserve astronauts.

China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe arrived at China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing with lunar samples, entering the scientific research stage, China National Space Administration said on Thursday.

The China Academy of Space Technology held a grand welcoming ceremony for the Chang'e-5 mission test team.

According to the plan, the lunar samples will be taken out, and a hand-over ceremony will be held. The storage, analysis, and research related work of China's first extraterrestrial sample will also start accordingly.

 
The one just crashed and burn? I don't have high expectations this will be fast or coming soon.

Safety is a top priority and not rush job. I hope B737 Max is a good lesson for american how to prioritize human lives and safety. Innovation is zero if safety is compromise.

It doesn't need to land if it is permanently docked to the ISS as a space station module. Can your space station modules land? The usual short-sightedness...you are failing to grasp things.

When it make the safe land, pls then brag about it. It just landed and make a huge firework. Everybody knows about it.

Our space station don't land currently but it wouldn kill human lives like American one for sake of bragging or profit that endanger human lives.

Well nobody ever died on a space station. I hope you didn't just hex yours.

Wow...again you fail to grasp things. A Starship module doesn't have to launch with people in it. They will be sending it up unmanned.
