Only Six Chinese Human Spaceflight Missions
Fact Sheet Updated April 29, 2021 CHINA’S HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT PROGRAM: BACKGROUND AND LIST OF CREWED AND AUTOMATED LAUNCHES China's human spaceflight program, Project 921, officially began in 1992. The program is proceeding at a measured pace. The most recent crewed launch, Shenzhou-11 in October 2016, was the 11th flight in the series, but only the sixth to carry a crew. Shenzhou Spacecraft: Shenzhou 1-4 were automated tests of the spacecraft. Shenzhou-8 was an automated test of rendezvous and docking procedures with the Tiangong-1 space station. The others (5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11) carried crews of one, two or three people and were launched in 2003, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2016 respectively (see list below) Space Stations: Tiangong-1, China's first space station, was launched in September 2011. It hosted the automated Shenzhou-8 in 2011 and two three-person crews: Shenzhou-9 in 2012 and Shenzhou-10 in 2013. It made an uncontrolled reentry at 8:16 pm April 1, 2018 EDT (00:16 April 2 UTC; 8:16 am April 2 Beijing Time) over the southern Pacific Ocean. Tiangong-1 was a small 8.5 metric ton (MT) module. As first space stations go, it was rather modest -- just less than half the mass of the world's first space station, the Soviet Union’s Salyut 1. Launched in 1971, Salyut 1 had a mass of about 18.6 MT. The first U.S. space station, Skylab, launched in 1973, had a mass of about 77 MT. Today's International Space Station (ISS), a partnership among the United States, Russia, Japan, Europe, and Canada, has a mass of about 400 MT and has been permanently occupied by 2-6 person crews rotating on 4-6 month missions since November 2000. -

Closing Comments
Closing Comments The concept of a Shuttle supporting the assembly of a space station was not an entirely new idea when Space Station Freedom was authorized in 1984. Such concepts had been evaluated during the late 1960s, as the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the race to the Moon. By the early 1970s, the two nations were on more friendly terms and keen to participate in a joint project as Apollo was being phased out and a series of Salyut space stations were being introduced. The American proposal for an Apollo to dock with a Salyut was rejected, as was a proposal to have a Soyuz dock with Skylab. So Apollo docked with Soyuz in the summer of 1975. That program was so successful that talks began almost immediately to assess the pros- pects for a Shuttle-Salyut docking in the early 1980s. In parallel, NASA devised plans for the Shuttle to reactivate Skylab. Neither of these proposals bore fruit. By the early 1980s, the idea of using a Shuttle to assemble and resupply a large space station remained, and would become the lynchpin of the Space Station Freedom before plans for that, too, were revised. By the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the assembly of Mir had been underway for several years. But Russia, which inherited the station and the spacecraft which serviced it, was hard pressed to continue the requisite funding. Looking back two decades to the 1990s, the merger of the American Shuttle and the Russian space station programs seems so logical, since they complemented each other. -

Earth's Moon: Humanity's Gateway to the Solar System
Earth's Moon: Humanity's Gateway to the Solar System Wendell Mendell A Musing Delivered to the Annual LEAG Meeting Washington, DC September 14, 2010 What is a Gateway? • Literally…. – 1 a : 1GATE 1,2 b : a supporting frame or arch in which a gate is hung • Is the Moon literally at gateway? – No, of course not. What is a Gateway? • Metaphorically…. – a : GATE 4a b : a passage for navigation or travel: as (1) : any one of a limited number of points by which the traffic of a defined region can enter… • Is the Moon metaphorically a gateway? – NASA, specifically SMD, goes off into the solar system regularly and regards the Moon as something of a nuisance rather than an entrance. What is a Gateway? • Madison_Avenue_speak….. – A pathway purported to be the best or most convenient or most desirable entrance to a destination" (e.g., Webster, Texas, is the gateway to NASA) • So what are we trying to sell……and to whom? – Most people would answer “NASA”. If so, the specific target must be ESMD, because they have not yet gone anywhere, much less into the solar system (except for LRO). What is ESMD in the market for and does it have any money? – The title of this talk says “Humanity”. What is Humanity in the market for and does it have any money? – What is the relationship between NASA and Humanity?
