The other astronauts are team leader Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang, who performed the manual docking. China launched the spacecraft carrying three crew, including the country's first female astronaut, from (c) 2012 AFP the remote Gobi desert in the nation's northwest on June 16. 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.

The China’s real spacelab, Tiangong-2 will be launched in 2015, docked with a Shenzhou spaceship soon. After six months, it will be docked with the first Chinese cargo ship (Tianzhou-1). More space science researches, involving with space biology, fluid physics, fundamental physics, materials science, Earth science, astronomy and space environmental science, will be operated on Tiangong-2 spacelab, and crewed and cargo spaceships. Furthermore, the considerable large-scale space utilization of Chinese Space Station is planned.
