According to the latest news from the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the new generation of Chinese manned spacecraft is named "Dream Boat" through collection and evaluation, and the lunar lander is named "Lanyue", and they will merge in orbit around the moon before 2030, with Chinese astronauts manned to the moon, and the Long March 10 carrier rocket is responsible for transporting the two vehicles!
At present, we already know that China will achieve the first manned landing on the moon before 2030, of course, the premise of all this is the smooth implementation of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, in the first half of 2024, the Queqiao-2 relay satellite and Chang'e-6 will be launched, and in the next few years, Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 will also go to the moon, they will complete the sampling work on the far side of the moon, the search for water resources at the south pole of the moon, and the basic type of establishing an international lunar scientific research station.
After all this work is completed, China's manned lunar landing is coming, and China's manned lunar landing has taken a completely new form, which is different from the Apollo manned lunar landing more than half a century ago.
The Mengzhou manned spacecraft and the lunar lander will go to the moon in batches and merge in orbit around the moon, so as to realize the in-orbit displacement of astronauts, which can reduce the requirements for the carrying capacity of the launch vehicle.
The "Lanyue" lander is to take astronauts from the lunar orbit to land safely on the lunar surface, and then bring astronauts from the lunar surface back to the lunar orbit, which means that the "Mengzhou" spacecraft and the "Lanyue" lander can complete the manned landing on the moon after two docking and separation.
The new generation of manned spacecraft "Dream Boat" has higher safety and reliability, and can also be reused, up to 3 astronauts can be taken with deep space exploration, and up to 7 astronauts can be brought to the near-earth space station mission, which also means that China's space station is bound to be upgraded in the future, after all, it can only support 3 astronauts to perform tasks in orbit for a long time, and 6 astronauts can be handed over in orbit in a short time!
If the new generation of manned spacecraft "Mengzhou" enters the Chinese space station with 7 astronauts at one time, then according to the current size of the Chinese space station, it will naturally not be able to support 7 astronauts to work in orbit for a long time to carry out tasks!
The current stage of China's space station is a three-cabin three-ship structure, the three cabins refer to the "Tianhe" core module, the Mengtian experimental module and the Wentian experimental module, the three ships can be two manned spacecraft, a cargo spacecraft, or two cargo spacecraft and a manned spacecraft, in short, the current stage of the "three cabins and three ships" is a fully loaded configuration!
But China's space station will not always be like this, and with the subsequent development and scientific research needs, the air progress will be upgraded, for example, it can be upgraded from the current T-shaped structure to a cross shape, and even the stem shape, king shape, and Feng shape are not impossible, in short, everything depends on the needs!
Judging by the carrying capacity of China's new generation of manned spacecraft "Mengzhou", the upgrade of China's space station is also inevitable, according to the information of the China Manned Space Engineering Office.
In the future, China's new generation of manned spacecraft can bring up to 7 astronauts into the space station to perform tasks at a time, and they can still be rotated according to the current mission cycle of six months!
China adheres to the concept of open space cooperation and win-win cooperation, and also welcomes international partners to participate in the Chinese space station project, and at the press conference before the launch of the Shenzhou-17 manned spacecraft, the spokesperson of the China Manned Space Engineering Office has issued an open invitation to invite foreign astronauts to participate in the Chinese space station project!
At that time, China's new generation of manned spacecraft will be able to carry 7 astronauts at a time, just like before the Dragon spacecraft has not yet performed its mission, American astronauts can only buy "tickets" for the Soyuz spacecraft from the Russian Federal Space Agency before entering the International Space Station.
There is also a very important point, with the development of China's space station will inevitably carry out commercial flights in the end, just like the current International Space Station, although the aircraft is old and the maintenance cost is high, but the commercial spacecraft can send ordinary people to the International Space Station, and gradually begin to develop in the direction of the commercial space station!
China's manned space is developing at a high speed, with the official operation of China's space station is considered to have entered a new stage, before 2030 will be manned to the moon, the steps of the Chinese are once again moving further, the future moon is not the end, it will only become a springboard, more distant and deep space exploration is our goal, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and more distant solar system frontiers.
As long as you are willing to look up at the starry sky, there will be no end to human civilization!
The moon will become the main battlefield of the next phase of space exploration, and everyone will try their best to run to the south pole of the moon because there is precious "water ice", which is a necessary resource to establish a lunar base.
Conquering the moon is knocking on the door to the deep space of the universe!
