Recently, China and the United States have issued **reusable almost simultaneouslyAstronauticshas attracted widespread attention. The US admiral said that China and the United States launched this type at the same time or almost at the same timeSpaceThe flying machine is not a coincidence, it is possibleSpace Racepart. This has sparked a lot of criticism between the United States and ChinaSpaceCompetition for deep thinking.
Well, China and the United States launched at the same timeAstronauticsWhat is the meaning behind the instrument?According to the analysis of the US side, the incidents in these three aspects are worthy of attention:
1. China's reusable spacecraft launch into orbit ** technology
2. The launch plan of the American X-37B spacecraft in high Earth orbit
3. The strategic considerations behind the U.S.-China space competition
In the first aspect, Chinese reusabilityAstronauticsTremendous progress has been made in the technology of launching into orbit. China's second reusableAstronauticsThe device was successfully launched and entered at the same timeEarth orbit。This shows that China is inSpaceRapid developments in technology. In this regard,U.S. militaryThe admiral said that China is reusableAstronauticsThe technology of launching has surpassed that of the United Statesx-37bAstronauticsThe flight cycle of the aircraft, which is of great interest to the US side.
The second aspect is the United Statesx-37bAstronauticsPlans for the launch of the vehicle in high Earth orbit. According to reports, Americanx-37bAstronauticsThe seventh launch was postponed to December 28. This launch will make:x-37bEnter the Earth's high orbit and continue its unknown mission. The U.S. side believes thatx-37bAstronauticsIt is currently the only reusable in the world that can fly in full orbitAstronauticsother countries cannot launch, ** and exploit in the same way as the United States. Hence the reusability of the United States to ChinaAstronauticsEmission indicates a high level of concern.
The third area is China and the United StatesSpaceThe strategic considerations behind the competition. The U.S. side believes that it can be reused by ChinaAstronauticsThe launch of the instrument is praised and can show the presence of the United StatesSpaceAbsolute leadership in the field. By praising China's achievements, the United States can strive for more funding and resources to promote the research and development of its own new generation of air-space reusable fighters. In addition, through China and the United StatesSpaceCompetition for the hype, the United States also wants for the current new typeAstronauticsThe development of the device provides technical ideas. The U.S. side believes that the current onex-37bAstronauticsAs we neared the end of our lives, we needed to develop a new platform. They hope to gain inspiration and reference for the future by observing China's developmentAstronauticsThe research and development of the device creates more conditions.
In short, China and the United States launched at the same timeAstronauticsThe significance behind the instrument should not be underestimated. This shows that China is reusableAstronauticsA tremendous breakthrough has been made in the technology of launching the aircraft, which has aroused great concern from the US side. At the same time, the United States also hopes to hype up China and the United StatesSpaceCompetition, solve yourselfAstronauticsdevice life problems, and to achieve technological leadership. In addition, China and the United StatesSpaceThe competition also reflects the strategic considerations of the two countries in the field of astronautics.
China is reusable for the second timeAstronauticsThe successful launch of the device further demonstrates China's inSpaceRapid development in the field of technology. TheAstronauticsdevice is able to enterEarth orbit, observeSpaceAnd carried out **, providing China with an independent conductSpaceThe ability to explore. The success of this launch shows that China is reusableAstronauticsThe launch technology has surpassed that of the United Statesx-37bAstronauticsUtensil. China's achievement shocked and surprised the US side, because they have always thought they wereSpaceA global leader in technology. China's breakthrough not only caught the eye of the United States, but also showed the world that China is thereSpaceAmbition in terms of exploration.
Chinese this reusableAstronauticstechnological breakthroughs for the futureSpaceExploration is significant. This kindAstronauticsThe reusability of the device allows for lower costs and greater flexibility. Compared to traditional single-use useAstronauticsreusableAstronauticsThe reuse of the plant can greatly improve the efficiency of resource utilization, reduce the waste of the earth's resources, and have important economic and environmental value. Reusable in ChinaAstronauticsThe breakthrough in device launch technology is not only an improvement of China's own scientific and technological strength, but also provides more possibilities for mankind to explore the universe.
Americanx-37bIt is currently the only reusable that can be flown in full orbitAstronauticsUtensil. This kindAstronauticsIt has great potential and can be used for a variety of tasks, including reconnaissance, early warning, interception and strike, etc. However, the U.S. side is herex-37bThere were some delays on the seventh launch plan. According to official information, the launch was postponed to December 28.
There could be a variety of reasons behind the postponement. On the one hand,x-37bAstronauticsThe end of its life may be nearing the end of its life, requiring the United States to design and manufacture a new generation of platforms. On the other hand, the U.S. side may be reusable to ChinaAstronauticsThe launcher is concerned and wants to guide its future by observing China's technological progressAstronauticsR&D. The U.S. side believes that by studying China's development model, it can serve its ownAstronauticstechnology provides new ideas and inspiration.
China and the United States are inSpaceThe moves taken in the competition are clearly strategic. For China, reusableAstronauticsThe successful launch of the device was a major breakthrough that increased the independence of the countrySpaceexplore capabilities and strengthen them globallyAstronauticsStatus in the field of technology. In doing so, China hopes to demonstrate its technological prowess, gain more international fame, and further promote itAstronauticsThe development of the industry. And for the United States, China's development achievements threaten themSpacefield leadership, and therefore their reusability of ChinaAstronauticsThe launch of the device expressed concern. In addition, by paying attention to China's technological progress, they also hope to gain inspiration and innovative ideas for their ownAstronauticsprovides a basis for research and development. In short, China and the United States are inSpaceInitiatives in the competition are strategic, and both sides are trying to stay on the tableSpacecompetitive advantage in the field.
