China's manned space project will closely focus on strengthening collaborative innovation, resource sharing, investment financing, and achievement promotion to find entry points to promote the formation of manned space business. Accumulate experience and lay the foundation for the integration of development pattern.
Hao Chun said that China’s manned space project will, in accordance with the principles of active openness, fairness and justice, strengthen layout planning in the areas of space station material replenishment, application load development, microsatellite release, on-orbit maintenance, and space commercial travel, and gradually establish compliance with all parties Participation methods of interests, to give full play to the comprehensive benefits of the China Space Station, not only improve the application level, enhance scientific output, but also make breakthroughs in many comprehensive fields such as commercial development, international cooperation, and science education, in order to promote the development and improvement of industrial technology Laying a solid foundation for core competitiveness, the space station has truly become a large stage for flexible and splendid space experiments.
According to the plan, my country will complete the construction plan of the Chinese space station in orbit around 2022. In the next two years, it will carry out 11 launch missions, successively launching the Tianhe core module, Wentian experimental module and Mengtian experimental module, and 4 Shenzhou manned Spacecraft and 4 Tianzhou cargo spacecraft.
It is reported that the selection of the third batch of reserve astronauts for China's manned space project has ended a few days ago, and a total of 18 reserve astronauts (including 1 female) were selected.
