Recently, China successfully issued the second reusableAstronauticsinstrument, almost at the same time, the United Statesx-37bThe seventh launch was postponed to December 28. The occurrence of this series of events is reminiscent of the simultaneous launch of China and the United StatesAstronauticsIs it a coincidence or an intentional one?The American admiral commented that this is not accidental, it is possibleSpace Racepart. This evaluation has sparked a great deal of concern and speculation.
This time Chinese reusableAstronauticsThe time in orbit surpassed that of the United Statesx-37b, further demonstrating China's inSpaceBreakthroughs and advancements in the field of technology. And the United States has always prided itself on itSpaceLeaders in the field have shown a keen interest and interest in China's achievements. The American admiral noted that this is reusableAstronauticsdevice is able to enterSpace, observeSpaceThe ability to do so, and **, these three aspects of the ability to attract their special attention. This is also the United StatesSpace RacewithSpaceOne of the important vectors of war. However, is the U.S. focus on China just out of praise and recognition?Or is there something else to it?Let's take a look.
1.Provide technical ideas: through reusability in ChinaAstronauticsThe hype and attention of the United States may be in the search for a new generationAstronauticsThe development of the idea. The United States believes that the currentx-37bIt is nearing the end of its life, the next generationAstronauticsHow well the mode and performance of the device is a major question. By diversifying payloads, functions, and orbits, the ability to achieve full-orbit killing is likely to be the next generationAstronauticsThe direction of development. This time it can be reused in ChinaAstronauticsmay be able to provide some technical inspiration and ideas for the United States.
2.Expanding investment: The U.S. goal is inSpaceMaintain absolute superiority and leading position in the field. By praising China'sAstronauticstechnology, the United States can secure more funding and support for its next generation of aerospace reusable fighters. Achieving an absolute lead in terms of load weight and orbital period requires significant investment and resources. Therefore, the United States may draw attention to China's pace of development by exaggerating China's power and threat, in order to gain more money for itSpaceResearch and development.
3.Explore new concepts: The United States has been trying to develop new conceptsand a new type of sky warfare。Currentx-37bThe capacity is relatively small, but if the load capacity is increased, a more powerful attack can be formed in orbit. Earlier, it was reported that the United States wanted to transfer sixNuclear warheadsPlacedAstronauticsThis is one of the reasons why the United States expressed shock and surprise at the Chinese launch. This kind of experimental exploration and reflection is for the United StatesMilitaryResearch and development are of great significance.
China and the United States are inSpaceCompetition and cooperation in this field will have a far-reaching impact on the global strategic balance and the development of science and technology. China in reusableAstronauticsThe technological breakthrough has made it an equal to that of the United StatesSpaceOne of the powerhouses. And the United States is not willing to be thereSpaceThe field has lost its absolute advantage, so it maintains a high degree of vigilance and attention to China's development. With the intensification of competition, China and the United States are in the futureSpacetechnology andMilitaryThe game and confrontation in the field will become more intense and complex.
It is worth mentioningSpaceCompetition is not just about technology andMilitaryIt is also a symbol of national image and international status. China through reusableAstronauticsThe successful launch of the device has demonstrated its scientific and technological strength and innovation ability to the world, and has won high recognition and attention from the international community. By paying attention to and praising China, the United States is also adding a touch of luster to its technological strength and international status.
To sum up, China and the United States launched at the same timeAstronauticsIt is not accidental, but Sino-AmericanSpacePart of the competition. The U.S. focus and praise on China may be motivated by multiple considerations and motivations, including the acquisition of technical ideas, expanded investment, and the exploration of new conceptsWait. China and the United States are inSpaceThe evolution of competition will have a profound impact on the global landscape, and it will also highlight China's presenceSpaceThe rapid rise of the technology sector and the concern and vigilance of the United States about it.
