The Shenzhou-9 manually linked with the Tiangong-1 space module in orbit on Sunday, the key goal of the mission and a milestone in an ambitious programme to build a space station by the end of the decade. China's rulers sees the space programme as a symbol of the country's rising global stature, growing technical expertise and the Communist Party's success in turning around the fortunes of the once poverty-stricken nation. The spacecraft had docked automatically early in its mission, but mastering manual docking is necessary as a back-up to reduce risk. The manoeuvre -- successfully completed by the Americans and Russians in the 1960s -- involves two vessels orbiting Earth at thousands of kilometres (miles) per hour coming together gently to avoid destroying each other.

    Welcome Letter Hello delegates and welcome to VAMUN XXXIX and the seventh iteration of the Wilson Global Systems Simulation! My name is Noah Strike and I’ll be your Under-Secretary-General for WGSS this year. For those unfamiliar, WGSS is a groundbreaking four-way geopolitical crisis simulation. Each committee is tasked with not only considering its position in world affairs, but also the positions of its competitors - the other committees. Decisions made in one committee with have ripple effects throughout the simulation, just as in reality. In the past, WGSS topics have included the Congo Crisis of 1964, the Yemeni Civil War, and a less-than historically accurate reenactment of World War I. This year, WGSS is looking to the stars. The years following 2019 have not been friendly to the world. An escalating US-China trade war has decimated trans-Pacific trade and the industrialized economies of both countries; production is down, prices for goods have skyrocketed, and unemployment is at the highest point since the 2008 financial crisis. Political upheaval and shocking regime change in Russia has challenged the world order of the 2010s; political participation and activism are up, but alongside them, socio-economic and political uncertainty threaten Russia’s future. A European Union fractured by a “no-deal” Brexit and subsequent economic collapse between the mainland and the United Kingdom has caused massive turmoil on the continent; trade is down, unemployment is up, and the future unity of the Union is far, far from certain. These crises are, however, dwarfed by the early arrival of the climate catastrophe.

  • S Manned Space Mission. Reentry and Return of Shenzhou-11 Space Capsule
    China’s Manned Space Mission. Reentry and Return of Shenzhou-11 Space Capsule Success of Manned Space Mission Brings China to New “Long March” By Ping Lunyuan Region: Asia Global Research, November 22, 2016 Theme: Science and Medicine People's Daily 19 November 2016 The success of China’s longest-ever manned space mission is a symbol of the new heights reached by the Chinese space program, the People’s Daily commented on Saturday, after two Chinese astronauts successfully returned to Earth after 30 days in space. The reentry module of Shenzhou-11 landed safely at the designated site in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at about 1:59 pm Friday Beijing Time. The following is a translation of the People’s Daily article provided for publication to Global Research: The Chinese space heroes have returned after completing their 30-plus-day mission. The Shenzhou-11 space capsule landed safely in Inner Mongolia with astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong on board. This historic moment is so momentous that it has lifted the spirit of every Chinese citizen. This moment will go down in the history books to be remembered for generations to come. Over the past five weeks, the two astronauts completed a series of scientific and technical experiments in the Tiangong-2 space laboratory, setting a record as China’s longest crewed mission to date. The success not only marked an important and decisive achievement in terms of the projects completed in the space lab, but also laid the foundation for follow-up construction and operation of a functional space station.
