To the space development competition of each country Private companies in the United States also first manned flight 12:41 on January 3
This is likely to attract attention to space development in various countries, including the prospect of the first manned flight of a new spacecraft being developed by a private company as a successor to the space shuttle in the United States.
In the United States, two private companies are each developing manned spacecraft as a successor to the Space Shuttle, which retired nine years ago, and both have completed unmanned flight tests by last year.
Among them, the Space X spacecraft has completed an unmanned flight test without major troubles, and plans to launch a flight test with two astronauts as early as possible.
On the other hand, Boeing's spacecraft was unmanned during the unmanned flight test last month, although the engine did not work properly and there was a problem that it could not be docked to the ISS = International Space Station, but "the necessary data was obtained" I want to fly.
The United States has a policy of permitting civilians to stay at the International Space Station for the first time, and successful development of spacecraft by private companies is likely to provide a great boost to space travel.
On the other hand, in the United States, China, and France, weapons that form new troops operating in space or destroy the communication satellites required for the deployment of units and fleets in order to secure military advantage in outer space. And the space development competition between nations is attracting attention.
