China spacecraft returns to Earth after docking test

"studying the feasibility"??? so there is no project? the Long-March 5 development project established at 2006. you dont expect such fancy toy coming out of nowhere.

The big shrimps have already confirmed it.

As i said before, somewhere between 2020-2025.

China's moon landing timeline is to set somewhere around 2025, so it is impossible for them to not start something right now.

This was the failure of the Russian rocket, it was not our fault.

BTW, we have to wait for CZ5 to restart our Yinghuo mission.

Japan usually loves to boast their national pride at any opportunity, meanwhile they just sit there and watched China went to the manned mission before them.

Do you think this is a tasteful pill for them to swallow? Also the Japanese are extremely brainwashed since the 19th century and they firmly believe that the Chinese people are inferior to them.

Now ironically 'the so-called inferior Chinese' had boasted its manned mission before them.

Well, you appear to have a bad impression about the Japanese. As much as I see, the Japanese after WWII defeat are totally different from the Japanese of the pre-1945 era.
About space program, as I said, the Japanese and European space program was aimed mostly to economic and scientific missions, not space race.
Chinese could ferry man to space by homemade rocket and even now a mini space station. What's more? A lunar landing probe, Chang'er, no more.
The Japanese and European could not afford money to achieve like Chinese, but look.
The Japanese have missions to send space probes to Mars, Venus and some comets.
The European have launched space probe missions around the Solar System, even as far as Saturn's satellite Europa and Titan. All were very successful and meaningful missions.

actually im not a expert in this field i dont even know ESA have such project (Saturn's satellite)...

You could read about ESA's Cassini Huygens mission which landed a probe on the liquid surface of Titan, one of Saturn's satellites.

they share their technology and the cost,dozens of countries put what they have and what they know to make things happen,still,not that impressive though,after being rebuffed from joining "international space program",China achieved those all by herself,that's way way different from Europe,Japan and US teamwork.that's something really to be pround of.

If Japan-EU don't keep up the space race, they'd better knee down to CHina now , bcz all of their satellites will be shot down in the future and CHina will control the world tele-communication

Maybe that the reason why they support VN space program

Such Cold War thinking never ends. lol

 

[Viva_Viet]

Such Cold War thinking never ends. lol

Oh, if CHina don't continue 'Star wars', VN will control your tele communication in near future with US-Russia-Japan help

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Such Cold War thinking never ends. lol

China's space program is mainly for the benefit of the mankind.

Since US was so ahead during the Cold War and they have landed on the Moon for seven times.

Just the short term cost was high and profit was low, they gave up the Mars landing.

Now everything has to be restarted again for US.

 

[beijingwalker]

economic crisis seriously takes a toll on US space development.

 

[applesauce]

Oh, if CHina don't continue 'Star wars', VN will control your tele communication in near future with US-Russia-Japan help

if you NEED help from US-Russia-Japan, your not in control of anything

China's "Space Century" --20 Rockets Launched & 25 Satellites in Space in 2011
November 01, 2011

China has announced that they will have launched 20 rockets and 25 satellites into space by the end of 2011, indicating that the country's space exploration is "highly intensive," an aerospace expert said Sunday.

"This year, we are supposed to launch 20 rockets and 25 satellites, a number that would put China in second place after Russia," said Yuan Jiajun, deputy general manager of China Aerospace and Technology Corp., confirming confirms that China's space projects have entered a stage of high-intensity development and launching.

He did not clarify how many satellites and rockets have been launched in the first 10 months of 2011.

China launched 15 rockets to send 20 satellites to space in 2010, comparable numbers to the United States and Russia, historically the world's two most prolific launchers of spacecraft, according to Yuan. "It is an arduous process and a great challenge for us to cope with the high intensity of satellite launching," Yuan said. "It requires us to be equipped with sufficient capacity."

At the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwest Gobi desert, a total of eight satellites will be launched within the year along with the country's first space lab module, Tiangong-1, which blasted off in September to await docking with the spacecraft Shenzhou-8, ready to take off in early November from the same launch base.

Shenzhou2002While preparation work for the launch of Shenzhou-8 is in its final stages, testing on another satellite is going on at the same time at the assembly and testing center, 1.5 km away from the launch pad.

Cui Jijun, director of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, said the high intensity that his team was expected to maintain had "become a normal status of our daily work. The high-intensity launching has become normalized while it was only periodical years ago."

As one of China's three satellite launch bases in use, the Jiuquan site has undertaken the majority of China's launching missions.

"Just like TV sets are assembled in plants around the clock, our daily work of launching satellites is quite normal and it is our duty," Cui said.

To cope with increased demand over the years, equipment has been dramatically upgraded and the numbers of personnel increased, Cui said. He noted, however, that China's space technologies still lag behind the advanced levels of some countries.

The generation that saw Japan's humiliation after the war are much more peaceful. They came up with the "peace constitution." Anybody under the age of 55 now will not have seen Japan's post-war poverty. They are very similar to pre-WW2 Japan.

Congrats to our chinese brothers....you make asians proud in everything you do... hope india also follows the same path of being a hardworking and progressive country.
