????Singapore "Straits Times" on January 4 article, original topic: Space exploration of China will begin to develop along with China for dozens years in the world the greatest outer space developmental item, China conquers outer space\’s great ambition to take a stride this year.
? China\’s goal is to approach its two surmised that for a long time vainly hoped for: Let the astronaut land the moon, will establish the space station before 2020. “Chang E No. 1” circumlunar duty had ended after last March, the Chinese second moon probe moves, i.e. “Chang E No. 2”, is arranged in October. At the same time, after nobody outer space docking module “heavenly palace No. 1” launch, the Chinese space station\’s first part also hopeful at the end of this year beginning obviously embryonic form. Moreover, China will also construct a new main astronautics decoy launching in Hainan Island this year. It is this day by day the formidable country\’s fourth space center. Although these progress possibly do not look like China in 2008 space walk that to attract the eyeball for the first time, but is in the Chinese space program breakthrough point.
????Senior astronautics editor Covault wrote: “In 2010, China will participate since the US and Soviet Union in the 1960s space race, most has the great ambition many kinds of manned and in nobody space system research and development.”
????In 2003, China after the US and Soviet Union, becomes in the world third to send in humanity earth\’s orbit\’s country, China also from this enters the antiforeign outer space club. An important breakthrough which this is China in 1992 established “921 projects” obtains. “921 projects” plan to realize the manned space flight, and establishes the permanent space station. In Chinese official outer space project does not contain the manned moon landing the project. But the majority of observers still believes that Chinese dynasty goal advance.
????Beijing University Earth and spatial academy of science professor Jiao Weixin said: “If the lunar jeep can in the lunar landing, then it will be stronger than in the gathering monthly list sample aspect the robot.”The outside will pay attention to “heavenly palace No. 1” to pay attention to “Chang E No. 2” likely such closely, it hopeful in the Asian space race which in India, Japan and South Korea and other countries carried on pushes to China the high-necked place. If “heavenly palace No. 1” launches successfully, then the Chinese following several spaceship hopeful before increasing many spacelabs docks with it. Because outer space docking request carries on the accuracy control to two high-speed movement\’s spaceships, thus it is considered that is one of space technology domain most state-of-art movements.
????But outer space project in China like wants to develop quickly, to need with Russian and American cooperation. The US said is not willing to share own technology, Russia also hesitates not to decide. Although Russia and China possibly open 5 to unite the outer space project this year, the expert and Chinese media are not optimistic, think that China, Russia lack the mutual confidence. ▲ (Tang Xiangyi)
