China itself won the first crew in 2003 with the space task – but the rising field sector is accelerating with the ambitions that unite to put a boat at the end of the decade. Beijing made significant developments this month with Chinese manned space agency announcement Lanyue Lunar Lander, in Hebei, successfully performed a hymen of the hymen and landing on a trial surface. designed to simulate Gravity and terrain conditions of the Moon.

Last week, China’s 176-meter length March-10 March-10 carrier rocket cleaned the first static test At the Wenchang facility in Hainan, he fires the seven parallel YF-100K engine. The sister rocket of the same series is developed in partially reusable long March-10A, in 2026, with its first output flight and plans to serve China’s Tiangong Space Station for crew and cargo transportation.

It was a busy summer: in June, China’s Mengzhou spacecraft – the key to the moon ambitions – a escape flight test passed. Last month, the ninth Tianzhou series cargo the launch of the Tianzhou-9 Tiangong Space Station.

Along the way, Beijing reiterated its plans to reduce cosmonauts before 2030 for scientific discovery. Apollo program.

However, the traces of question focus on both elections for NASA’s moon descents. SpaceX’s star ship broke a turbulent record to date, which was still right at the upcoming August 24 test launch. Blue Origin, in the meantime, still develops Mark 2 Lander and plans to test the launch only later this year – Mark 1 -. Jeff Bezos’s rocket, which will carry Landers, is only entering the second flight next month.

The increasing importance of US private companies in advancement of space activities is remarkable, but not unique. Although most of China’s space view is dominated by the Chinese Aviation Science and Technology company, commercial players such as Galactic Energy, Landspace and I-SPACE-Japan should not be confused with ISPACE.

Hong Kong University Space Research Laboratory Director “I believe that China can defeat NASA back to the moon,” Quentin Parker told CNBC. He said.

“NASA’s Artemis project is faced with major delays under the current administration, budget problems and leadership problems. This leaves a different possibility that China can return to the moon first,” he added, China’s fast space technology development and “in the last decade, Cst and Chang and Tianwen tasks.

As in the first space race, not only the national prestige in danger – US officials and analysts expressed their concerns that China’s space ambitions are inevitably linked to militarization. It hasn’t been so long since then Spring Reviews Gen, the Chief of Space Operations of the US Space Force. Chance Saltzman’s ” [People’s Republic of China] It develops a kind of kind, the tongue on the cheek, the name ‘Web’. And this is nothing more than a network of hundreds of satellites with a sensor network that provides real -time updates aimed at the quality information of our power. “
