China's first space nuclear propulsion technology laboratory set up
2015年08月31日 星期一
Science and Technology Daily News (Zhou 薛英民 reporter Li Yan) reporter August 26 was informed from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation five branches of 502, our first nuclear propulsion technology laboratory in Beijing recently set up a space laboratory will be the development of China's aerospace strategy for traction, targeting deep space exploration mission requirements, applied research project carried out in space nuclear propulsion technology.
Nuclear space propulsion research starting in the 1950s, mainly in the United States, Russia, the two countries have completed a lot of ground verification, made a series of remarkable results. The current international aerospace industry generally believe that space nuclear propulsion technology will become the future of mankind to explore the universe of revolutionary means, have an extremely broad mandate prospects, and has significant performance and cost advantages.
It is understood that the lab by the five branches of 502 led the joint China Institute of Atomic Energy Reactor Engineering Design Institute, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was founded. 502 is one of the earliest units conducting space nuclear propulsion systems research. Relevant responsible person said, the laboratory will seize the opportunity of China's space science and technology and the rapid development of nuclear science and technology, exploring good operating system and management mechanism, give full play to the advantages of three units, to develop space nuclear propulsion business, truly powerful combination, complementary advantages, to achieve "Training + science + project application" deep integration, play a leading and exemplary role. At the same time cultivate a number of major scientific and technological achievements, to better meet national strategic needs, and strive to build a leading, world-class joint laboratory.

China, for one, welcomes our ROBOT SPACE ANT overlords
Senior official says six-legged bots offer a greater leap for mankind than rolling rovers

China's signalled its intention to develop robotics for deep space missions.
The signals came in the form of a speech by Liu Jizhong, director of the lunar exploration program and space engineering center at China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Liu's speech, reported by Chinese state organ xinhua
Liu identifies a few missions he thinks China should pursue, suggesting them because they'd make the Middle Kingdom a space innovator. Among his ideas are:

Liu identifies a few missions he thinks China should pursue, suggesting them because they'd make the Middle Kingdom a space innovator. Among his ideas are:
- Placing a lander on the far side of the moon, supported by a satellite at the L2 Lagrange point beyond Luna's orbit, is one mission. Developing such a satellite would, it's hoped, make it possible to explore the Moon's poles (where they may be water ice) and therefore enable development of a Lunar base;
- A heavy-lift vehicle with a payload of 100,000 kilograms to help establish a moon base or to fuel deep space exploration. Today's heavy lifters can't do half that, even to low earth orbit. Elon Musk's planned Falcon Heavy is planned to haul 53,000 kg. China's planned Long March V will have a maximum capacity of 25,000 kg.
- Developing robotics, preferably a six-legged ant analogue, to retrieve samples from an asteroid to further our understanding of the solar system's development. Ant-like bots are suggested as a more flexible advance on rolling rovers;
- Faster propulsion technologies to deliver probes to deep space in shorter times.
