Socialist Science Leading Space Research!

China: Socialist Space Science Development Programme for 2024-2050! (15.10.2024)

The programme also outlines a roadmap for the development of space science in China through 2050.

In the first phase, leading up to 2027, China will focus on the space station operation, implementing the manned lunar exploration project, and the fourth phase of its lunar exploration programme as well as the planetary exploration project. Five to eight space science satellite missions will be approved during the period, according to the programme.

The international lunar research station initiated by China will be constructed during the second phase from 2028 to 2035, and approximately 15 scientific satellite missions will be carried out during this period.

In the third phase from 2036 to 2050, China will launch over 30 space science missions.

China: Research on Chang’e-6 [Dark-Side] Lunar Samples Underway! (11.10.2024)

A research paper published in September on the lunar samples brought back by the Chang’e-6 mission says that the Chang’e-6 samples exhibit “distinct characteristics” compared to previously obtained lunar samples.

The Chang’e-6 probe was launched from China on May 3, 2024. On June 25, its returner made a landing in north China, bringing back 1,935.3 grams of samples from the far side of the moon. (Xinhua/Jin Liwang)

PRC Lunar Space Suit - 2024

China Manned Space Agency [CMSA]: Lunar Spacesuit Revealed! (29.9.2024)

According to the CMSA, spacesuits are designed for exposure to the harsh conditions of space, including vacuum, microgravity, radiation, and extreme temperatures, allowing for greater lower body mobility of astronauts to walk, climb, and conduct scientific activities on the moon’s surface. 

Research and development of the spacesuit began in 2020, inspired by traditional Chinese culture.

The red decorative bands on the arms and legs were designed to resemble flowing “Feitian” ribbons — meaning flying deity in traditional Chinese culture. Its combination with the suit symbolizes traditional Chinese philosophy of harmonizing strength and softness. And the leg bands are shaped like the exhaust flames of a rocket, conveying the dynamic energy of space exploration.

The test-fire had no impact on the security of neighbouring countries and has nothing to do with the regional situation.

The Missile Administration explained that the test-fire is a process of constant updating of the weapon system and a regular (and obligatory) activity of the Administration and its affiliated Defence Science Institutes.

New DPRK Rocket!

DPRK: Hypersonic Missile Successfully Test-Fire! (15.1.2024)

The test-fire was aimed at verifying the gliding and (controlled) manoeuvring characteristics of intermediate-range hypersonic warhead and the reliability of newly developed multi-stage – high-thrust – (solid-fuel) engines.

The test-fire was successfully conducted.

The test-fire never affected the security of any neighbouring country and had nothing to do with the regional situation.

The Missile Administration explained that the test is a part of the Administration and its affiliated Defence Science Institutes’ regular activities for developing powerful (deterrent) weapon systems. (End)
