China Space Program

Unread post by propstrap »

Probably the most ambitious after SpaceX, China is vigorously pursuing space milestones, including a manned moon landing by 2030. Having had numerous successes the past few years, it is not to be discounted. State sponsored and fired by patriotism, they appear to be making serious headway.

An excerpt:

China declares success as its youngest astronauts reach space

A Chinese spacecraft with a three-person crew, including the country's first female space engineer, has docked after a journey of more than six hours.

The crew will use the homegrown space station as a base for six months to conduct experiments and carry out spacewalks as Beijing gathers experience and intelligence for its eventual mission to put someone on the Moon by 2030.

Beijing declared the launch of Shenzhou 19 a "complete success" - it is one of 100 launches China has planned in a record year of space exploration as it tries to outdo its rival, the United States.
