"Temple One" launch end of next year can be upgraded to cargo ship.

Keywords: China Temple One cargo ship <P> </ P> <P> World Scientific reports [tech.]: National People's Congress, deputy director of China's manned spaceflight project, Vice Minister Zhang Jianqi a recent interview with the General Armament Department Xinhua News Agency .press interview said, "One Temple" target aircraft development work is being carried out, and if all goes well, will be the end of 2010 China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the "Temple One." .</ P> <P> "Temple One," responsible for four major tasks </ P> <P> Zhang Jianqi, the "Temple One" and weighs about 8.5 tons, is divided into two tanks support the cabin and JEM, take the load .greatly increased compared with the Shenzhou series spacecraft. ."Temple One" with a spacecraft docking. .</ P> <P> "Temple One" for the next step is the construction of the space station and the development objectives of aircraft, the main task as space rendezvous and docking target to complete the flight test of space rendezvous and docking; protect the short-term presence of astronauts in orbit .during the work and life, and to ensure the safety of astronauts; space applications, aerospace medical experiments in space scientific experiments and space station technology test; initially established to short-term manned and long-term reliable operation of unmanned space for independent testing platform. .</ P> <P> "Temple One" can be upgraded into a spaceship </ P> <P> "accomplish the above tasks, we will begin the third step task, built in 2020 for the long-term manned space station." Zhang Jianqi .said, then, "Temple One" will be upgraded into a cargo spacecraft. .Cargo spacecraft rendezvous and docking with both functions, also has refueling capabilities, you can add fuel to the space station. .The first cargo spacecraft will launch space launch site in Wenchang, Hainan. .</ P> <P> Zhang Jianqi said, in the "Temple One" after the successful launch, China will launch Shenzhou 八号 after another, 九号, ten spacecraft, used, and "Temple One" docking. .No one on the receipt by someone from the docking program, the Shenzhou 八号 will be no mission, if successful, the Shenzhou 九号, the 10th will carry astronauts. .</ P> <P> three Shenzhou spacecraft, with production </ P> <P> Shenzhou 八号, 九号, on the 10th the three spacecraft will work together to produce, this is the first time, the Shenzhou series of spacecraft into mass production. ."Mass production is a major progress, not only on the basis of reliability will be greatly improved on the original, the cost will gradually decline." Zhang Jianqi said. .</ P> <P> China's manned space project "three-step" strategy plan is: First, launch a manned spacecraft, built initially complete experimental manned spacecraft projects, experiments in space applications; the second step, .breakthroughs in manned spacecraft and space vehicle rendezvous and docking technology, and converted using manned spacecraft technology, launch a space laboratory, to solve a certain scale, short-term manned space applications; the third step, the construction of the space station and solve a more .large-scale, long-term manned space applications. .Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xuanliang </ P> <P> put into use in 2013, Hainan launch site </ P> <P> AP National People's Congress, deputy commander of China's manned spaceflight project, Vice Minister Zhang Jianqi 7 General Armament Department .said that Hainan Wenchang space launch will be officially opened by the end of March this year, construction, and strive to launch in 2013 with conditions. .</ P> <P> "will replace the existing launch site in Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Xichang, the main function of the future of the geosynchronous satellite launch will be major here." Zhang Jianqi said, Wenchang forming ability of the launch site after the original has .pollution, pollution-free new generation of rocket launch vehicles will be replaced. .</ P> <P> Zhang Jianqi said: "The decision to Wenchang, first, because too large diameter rockets, land transport inconvenience, only by sea transported to the launch site; the second is more effective in Wenchang launch, the satellite can .extend the life of two years. "</ P> <P> the Wenchang spaceport in low latitudes, after launching geostationary satellites orbit does not require much to get into orbit, the satellite can be significant savings in fuel ., extending its life. .Extend the life of a communications satellite for two years, its effectiveness is amazing. .</ P> <P> Zhang Jianqi said that manned space launch mission will take only a part of Hainan Wenchang space launch capabilities, most of launching satellites in geosynchronous orbit. .</ P> </ p>.
