According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, in 2024, China's manned space engineering will coordinate the promotion of the two major missions of space station application and development and manned lunar exploration, taking solid steps towards the goal of building a space power.
At present, all the work in the application and development phase of China's space station is progressing steadily as planned, and the development and construction of various missions in the lunar landing phase of the manned lunar exploration project are progressing smoothly.
Since entering the application and development stage of the space station, the entire project has been closely coordinated and has successfully completed 2 cargo spacecraft resupply, 2 manned spacecraft launches and 2 spacecraft return missions. The astronaut crew continues to fly to realize their dreams and stay safely for a long time. Space science The actual (test) results have been fruitful, and the comprehensive benefits of the space station are constantly emerging.
Currently, the Shenzhou 17 astronauts stationed at the space station are in good physical and mental condition and are expected to return to the ground at the end of April.
In 2024, the project plans 2 manned missions and 2 cargo spacecraft replenishment missions. The Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft replenishment mission was successfully completed in January, and Shenzhou 18 and Shenzhou 19 2 will be implemented in the future. manned mission and Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft supply mission.
The astronaut crews for the two manned missions have been selected and are undergoing mission training.
In addition, more than 150 space science research and application projects have been arranged to be implemented in orbit, involving fields such as space life science and human body research, microgravity physics and new space technologies, and have achieved a number of internationally leading application and technological achievements.
While carefully organizing and implementing various tasks in the application and development stage of the space station, aiming at the goal of realizing the first Chinese landing on the moon before 2030, the development and construction work of the lunar landing stage of the manned lunar exploration project in 2024 will also be stepped up.
At present, major flight products such as the Long March 10 carrier rocket, Mengzhou manned spacecraft, lunar surface lander, and lunar landing suits are all in the preliminary development stage. Various test and launch facilities and equipment supporting the lunar landing mission at the Wenchang launch site are also in full swing. Construction will be launched in an all-round way, and the related development and construction work of each system is advancing as planned.
Adhering to peaceful utilization, equality, mutual benefit, and common development are the principles that China has always adhered to in developing its manned space industry.
In the future, international cooperation projects with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and other institutions will be steadily promoted in accordance with the established plan.
China is willing to share the achievements of China's manned space development with other countries in the world, especially developing countries, jointly promote the development of world space technology, and make positive contributions to the peaceful use of space and the benefit of all mankind.
