Shenzhou-10: China launches next manned space mission

[Psyops]

Another space mission compete

There are less number of pages in PDF when China send people to space than when India send a routine satellite to space.

It was a magnificent display of supreme aerospace techniques.

All anticipated procedures were completed with visual perfection on TV! The part of the Blackout Zone and temporary loss of communication was a thriller！The return capsule was like a furious fireball cutting through the sky, appropriately discarding lit-up insulating panels along the path (see following vid - (click on the second frame from left below the screen to view it @0:55)！


And after the most difficult part of the journey home - the passage through the Blackout Zone which lasted for about 240 seconds, the first parachute was successful deployed 10 Km up from ground level ...the sigh of just the first relief and more to come like the release of the final atmospheric parachute which billowed up like the top of a brightly coloured gigantic illustrious mushroom floating gracefully down from high in the air promising its mission as one of the bravest custodians of our Taikonauts and the ultimate friendly blast at the capsule base avoiding a hard landing!

See the vid on ifeng.com and the continuation of many more here until landing and thereafter just click on the other (third and fourth from left) frames under the screen:

And Congratulations to all the scientists, staff and taikonauts for a Mission completed and Very Well Done!

Next: Our Unmanned Landing on the Moon Later this year！

I think china should invite other countries to join its Space station program if it truly wants to challenge the ISS monopoly
This will also help to cut down on costs

who would leave ISS to join China ? It would be better for china to join the current union . There should be cooperation not competition when you speak of space and planets security .

 

[baajey]

CONGRATS CHINA !!!!!!!!
way to go....

 

[djsjs]

OK,the next step-space station!

Typical Indian ignorance. China is barred from joining the ISS due to US sanctions.

Post reported . Please dont show your incapability here . If you want reply for a complete post do that , not for a part . FYI India was on full sanctions a decade back and its a matter of few high level discussions to remove them , after all ISS dont want a competitor .

ISS to Crash Into the Ocean in 2020

By Mark Hachman July 27, 2011 01:14pm EST 7

The International Space Station (ISS) will be plunged into the ocean at the end of 2020, the Russian space agency said on Wednesday.

But before then, the multinational partnership overseeing how the ISS will be used discussed plans for missions that could extend beyond low earth orbit, with an eye toward Mars, the Moon, or to an asteroid. There's also a chance the station's life could get an extension to 2028, NASA says.

According to reports from Agence France-Presse and others, the ISS will be guided into the ocean at the end of its operable life in 2020. The reason? Space junk, which increasingly poses a hazard to satellites and other missions in Earth's orbit. Mir, the previous Russian space station, suffered a similar fate.

"After it completes its existence, we will be forced to sink the ISS. It cannot be left in orbit, it's too complex, too heavy an object, it can leave behind lots of rubbish," said deputy head of Roskosmos space agency Vitaly Davydov, according to the AFP.

In June, the ISS crew got a scare when a piece of space debris got a bit too close for comfort, prompting them to take cover inside Russian space capsules.

The ISS was originally planned to cease operations in 2013, until an agreement was reached to keep it operating beyond that. Plans for a second agreement, to extend the ISS's life to the year 2028, are in the works, NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries told PCMag.

What's next for the ISS? Davydov said he didn't know, according to the AFP, but he acknowledged the need for a platform for missions in "circumterrestrial space," he said.

Until then, the Multilateral Coordination Board said it began identifying several mission beyond low-Earth orbit, including Mars or the asteroid belt. The ISS members include the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and 10 European countries represented by the European Space Agency.

The MCB also discussed efforts to increase station use and reported on the status of standardization efforts for rendezvous and proximity operations, interfaces for replaceable items and payloads and command protocols for spacecraft, the MCB said in a statement.

While a mission to the Moon or Mars would capture the imaginations of the world, in the meantime the ISS is being used for other expriments. The MCB outlined the use of the ISS as a national laboratory for U.S. experiments in human heath research with the National Institutes of Health. Private firms are also using the ISS for experiments into vaccine development for bacterial pathogens, gene differentiation for production of new plant cultivars, nanocube scale experiment systems, hyper-spectral imaging for agricultural applications and advanced propulsion technologies.

Other ISS programs include the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which has collected 2 billion measurements of cosmic rays; the Hyperspectral Imager, which has captured more than 3,500 images of coastal waters; experiments which examine the effects of diet on bone loss; plus other experiments on muscular dystrophy and radiation exposure.

Editor's Note: After the original version of this story was published, a NASA spokesman told PCMag about the plans in the works to possibly extend the ISS's lifespan to 2028. We've adjusted the story to reflect this new information.

By the time China has her space station constructed by 2020，the ISS may no longer exist。

Even if the ISS‘ lifespan was extended，the likelihood of which is low，China's will be the only space station left in the orbit by 2028，for currently there is no plan for a substitute for the ISS from the participant countries。

You reported me for exposing your ignorance? And what exactly the Indian sanction has to do with the Chinese sanction? There is no comparison between the two.

why waste time with those indians? they are just desperate - economy is sinking, space program is a joke.

one day indian, always loser.
