The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the China MannedSpace Agency (CMSA) have agreed to work together to develop the space capabilities ofUnited Nations member states through the use of China's planned space station, accordingto a report by PHYS.org.

During an interview in June, a spokesperson for China's manned aerospace project saidthat the space station's facilities and advanced technology will allow scientists to conductexperiments in the fields of physics, biology and more.

Construction of space station, named "Tiangong-3," is expected to be finished between2020 and 2022. The station will include one core module and two experimental modules,and the possiblity exists for it to be expanded in the future.

China is also willing to help train foreign astronauts, said the spokesperson. Furthermore,China will share the expense of training courses with UN member states.

The CMSA-UNOOSA agreement also opens doors for further transnational cooperation onspace activities. CMSA said that it hopes for increased collaboration with other countriesand international organizations under the framework of the agreement, all according to theprinciples of peace, equality and joint development.

Inclusive development

Include Japan?Japan and UncleSam already have their own spacestation,

OBOR in space!

Great going.

I think they need Russia for the moment?

China space station shall be politicalised. Countries hostile to China will be banned from space station. Allowed countries must be continue to be niced to China in order to allow future more tickets to space.

I don't think China will ban them.

Space exploration is something that will benefit all of humanity.

Just because the US set up a shitty example to make space exploration political (Bans NASA from all corporation with China), doesn't mean we have to be as shitty as them.

they better have something in exchange if they want to get in

if we used your logic. Our island building in SCS shall never happen and we shall just give up diaoyutai to Japanese?

If we allowed US onboard. China will be a laughing stock. So far, all those participated countries mention are joining for free. We will not allow US to join our program for free.

Allow US onboard at our condition and not a free ride or charity piggyback, a true leader is willing to accommodate friends and foes but not at our expense and China should be THE ONE.

Their space station in 2020-2024 years or so the end of life

China’s Agreement with United Nations to Help Developing Countries Get Access to Space

Last month, China has signed an agreement with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) to open the country’s future space station for science experiments and astronauts from UN member states. According to a spokesperson from the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), this cooperation heralds better accessibility to space for developing countries.

“The agreement will provide exciting opportunities to further build the space capacity of developing countries and increase awareness of the benefits human space technology can bring to humankind, and thus to promote the achievement of the sustainable development goals,” Aimin Niu, CMSA spokesperson, told Astrowatch.net.

In particular, this agreement means that UNOOSA and CMSA will work together to give UN member states an opportunity to conduct space experiments onboard China's future space station, as well as to provide flight opportunities for astronauts and payload engineers.

“China is willing to provide training services for foreign astronauts. Funding support to their flight missions will be negotiated among and shared by partners,” Niu revealed.

The station, named Tiangong 3 (meaning “Heavenly Palace 3” in Chinese), is currently under development and is expected to be operational around 2022. It will consist of a core module and two experimental modules, and can be expanded further. The modules are scheduled to be sent to space in the 2020–2022 time frame.

Tiangong 3 is planned to be visited by crewed Shenzhou vehicles as well as Tianzhou cargo vessels. It will be capable of accommodating three full-time astronauts and up to six during rotation periods. The station will also house the country’s future Xuntian space telescope.

“Featuring advanced technology and multi-purposed on-board facilities, the station could provide opportunities for UN member states to conduct microgravity experiments on physics, biology, and life science as well as Earth observation,” Niu said.

Both sides also agreed to promote international cooperation in human space flight and other space activities.

According to Niu, the implementation of the agreement will provide opportunities to build capabilities in developing countries, under the framework of UNOOSA’s Human Space Technology Initiative (HSTI), and in line with both the thematic priority of UNISPACE+50 on “Capacity-building for the 21st Century” and the High Level Forum pillar on "Space Accessibility”.

The CMSA-UNOOSA agreement also opens doors to further multinational cooperation on space activities. The China Manned Space Agency hopes for broaden collaboration with other countries and international organizations under the framework of the agreement, on the principle of peaceful uses of outer space, equality and mutual benefit, and joint development.

“We believe that the implementation of the agreements will definitely promote international cooperation on space exploration, and create opportunities for United Nations member states, particularly developing countries, to take part in, and benefit from, the utilization of China's space station," CMSA Deputy Director General Wu Ping, said in June.
