Chiński program kosmiczny

[ekoplaneta]

W końcu nie rozumiem Chang 4 to będzie misja z łazikiem czy powrotnikiem próbek?

[station]

Change-4 - łazik na odwrotnej stronie Łysego - lądowanie w basenie Aitkena (chyba)

Change-5 - próbnik z powrotnikiem na Ziemię - lądowanie na Oceanie Burz

Change-6 - to chyba też powrotnik, ale z odwrotnej strony Księżyca... ale ta misja chyba nie jest jeszcze przyklepana

Chińskie plany ekspansji w kosmosie sięgają daleko

"The future of China's manned space program, is not a moon landing, which is quite simple, or even the manned Mars program which remains difficult, but continual exploration the earth-moon space with ever developing technology."

A series of space missions is planned to verify key technology for the space station. Around 2020, a medium-sized space station with three modules and weighing 60 tonnes will be put into orbit.

Chiny zwiększają zaangażowanie w poznawanie Wszechświata.

Currently, about five percent of research investment is channelled to fundamental research. Whereas in the United States and Germany, that figure is 40 percent and 28 percent.

On Dec. 17, 2015, the dark matter particle explorer (DAMPE), the country's first astronomical satellite, was sent to explore the secrets of the universe.

"Although China still lags behind scientifically-advanced countries in some areas, we should not belittle ourselves. We have made great strides in basic science and space science. As long as we are diligent, in the near future we will achieve great success," said Chang Jin, chief scientist with DAMPE and vice director of the CAS Purple Mountain Observatory.

Another three scientific satellites -- one for quantum science experiments, another for microgravity research and space life science, and a hard X-ray telescope that will observe black holes, neutron stars and other phenomena -- will be launched this year.

Jak donosi NSF, ładunkiem pierwszej CZ-7 ma być zmniejszony prototyp kabiny przyszłego chińskiego załogowego statku kosmicznego.

Chodzi o kabinę przyszłego chińskiego Oriona czy tak?

Oriona, jak Oriona, ale zapewne statku do lotów BEO

Chiny planują do  przyszłej stacji kosmicznej domontować swojego Hubble’a.

China is to launch an “optical module” along with the under-construction space station, said Zhang Yulin, Deputy to the National People’s Congress and Deputy Minister of Central Military Commission Equipment Development Department, on March 7, 2016. The “optical module” is similar to Hubble Space Telescope, but the field of view is 300 times that of Hubble.

Chińska stacja orbitalna ma mieć 3 moduły i 2 robotyczne ramiona.

Zadania dla CZ-5 I CZ-7:

The heavy lift Long March 5 will allow China to loft huge space station modules to low Earth orbit, send a craft to return samples from the Moon and launch its first independent Mars mission in 2020.

The smaller Long March 7 is also crucial, having been designed to launch ‘Tianzhou’ cargo vessels to the future space station, which is expected to be completed around 2020.
 
The Long March 7 will also become the workhorse launch vehicle of the Chinese space program, while both new kerosene and liquid oxygen-fuelled rockets will together eventually replace the highly toxic, aging earlier Long March rockets.

Widać, że jedna z wcześniejszych misji zostawiła przycumowany moduł orbitalny od któregoś Shenzhou;)

Istnieje techniczna możliwość współpracy między ISS a chińską stacją orbitalną.

First, China has to launch the CSS into the same orbit as the ISS. The ISS orbit is a circular orbit at about 400 kilometers with an inclination of 51.6 degrees, instead of the CSS’s planned 42–43 degrees. All visiting cargo and crew vehicles have also to be launched into this orbit. The CZ-5B launcher, which will launch the station modules, is able to send 23 tonnes to a 200 x 400 x 42° orbit. While the planned modules have a mass of 20–22 tonnes each, there is only one to three tonnes of margin left to raise the orbital inclination from 42 to 51.6 degrees. It might not be enough.

One possible way is to launch them into a lower orbit, such as 300–350 km, orbit (Shenzhou and Tiangong orbits) but still in the same orbital plane. Once assembled (in 2022), one or more cargo ships would then lift it to the ISS orbit. This would mean that equipment/ supply and crew transfer between the two stations in the first four years (from 2018 to 2022) will need more fuel. That may be acceptable. If ISS can be lowered to about 350 kilometers, as it was before 2011, it will significantly reduce the gap and remove the four-year transitional period. At the same time, cutting fuel and removable equipment in the modules to reduce launch mass could also help. As the gap of the launch mass is probably minor or does not exist at all, there should be an acceptable solution. For the Tianzhou cargo ship and the Shenzhou crewed vehicle, the problem is less serious. Removing a little cargo (from Tianzhou) and onboard equipment/supply (from Shenzhou, where full supply and even the fully-functional orbital module are not required in station ferry missions) would easily solve the problem.
