China News Service, March 11. According to the WeChat official account of China's manned spaceflight, since 2021, my country's manned spaceflight project has successfully implemented five missions in the verification stage of key technologies of the space station.
At present, the core module assembly is running stably in orbit, and the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew is in good condition. It is planned to return to the ground in April this year. The key technologies for the construction of the space station have been fully verified, and the follow-up tasks are ready for solid progress.
Building a space station and solving large-scale, long-term, manned space application problems is the third-step mission goal of the "three-step" development strategy of my country's manned spaceflight project.
2022 is the year of the decisive battle for the construction of the space station. According to the mission arrangement, this year will organize the implementation of six flight missions, including the space station interrogation capsule, the dream capsule, cargo supply, and manned flight, to complete the orbital construction of the space station and complete the stable operation on orbit. the National Space Laboratory.
At present, the crew of the astronauts to perform the two manned flights in the construction phase of the space station have been selected and mission training is being carried out.
my country has always adhered to the principles of peaceful utilization, equality and mutual benefit, and common development, and is committed to building China's space station into an open platform for scientific and technological cooperation and exchanges facing the international community.
The first batch of space station application projects jointly selected by the China Manned Space Engineering Office and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs is expected to start successively this year, and carry out the implementation of international cooperative experimental projects on the Chinese space station.
While carrying out the orbital construction mission of the space station, it is also carrying out key technical research on manned lunar exploration and in-depth demonstration of plans.
