    Picture: China is reaching new heights in space exploration with its world-class space transportation system


    Author: Professor Wang Xiaojun, China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology

    Today, China is standing at a new historical node, facing new opportunities and challenges


    In 2021, China will become the second country to successfully land and operate an unmanned probe on Mars


    Dr.


    In the past few years, China has used a new generation of carrier rockets to launch rockets from the sea, launch multiple satellites into space, land on the moon and Mars, and conduct manned spaceflight, which has attracted the attention of the international community


    In order to make China’s space program more environmentally sustainable, China’s space agency is upgrading the rocket propellant propulsion system derived from toxic traditional oil to a liquid cryogenic propulsion system using clean fuels such as hydrogen or oxygen, or a new large-scale propulsion system.


    Considering the deep space mission, scientists are also working on developing lightweight metal composite materials that can withstand the test of time and improve the energy efficiency of car bodies


    In addition, scientists have combined the latest advances in aerospace engineering with artificial intelligence to develop smart technologies that can predict and identify errors in space missions, and even take corrective measures when necessary


    During the 1920s and 1940s, China invested a lot of money and set specific annual goals to achieve each of the above research and development goals.


    From single-satellite launch vehicles to manned spacecraft, from low-Earth orbit missions to deep-space exploration, China’s space transportation system has made huge leaps in the past few decades and will continue to develop like this in the next few decades


    Space may be the future of mankind
