  • China's Space Program: an Overview
    Order Code RS21641 Updated October 18, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China’s Space Program: An Overview Marcia S. Smith Specialist in Aerospace and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary The People’s Republic of China successfully completed its second human spaceflight mission on October 17, 2005. China is only the third country, after Russia and the United States, able to launch people into space. Its first human spaceflight was in 2003 when a single astronaut, or “taikonaut,” made a flight lasting slightly less than a day. The 2005 flight lasted five days, and involved two taikonauts. As the United States embarks upon President Bush’s “Vision for Space Exploration” to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020 and someday send them to Mars, some may view China’s entrance into the human exploration of space as a competitive threat, while others may view China as a potential partner. This report will be updated as warranted. Introduction China has been launching satellites since 1970. Most of the launches are of Chinese communications, weather, remote sensing, navigation, or scientific satellites. Some of those satellites may be for military applications, or are dual use. Some were commercial launches for foreign countries or companies, primarily placing communications satellites into orbit. China launched its first astronaut, or “taikonaut,”1 in October 2003. China has three space launch sites: Jiuquan (also called Shuang Cheng-tzu) in the Gobi desert; Xichang, in southeastern China (near Chengdu); and Taiyuan, south of Beijing. Jiuquan was China’s first launch site, and is used for launches of a variety of spacecraft, including those related to the human spaceflight program.

  • China to Explore Mars with Russia This Year 2 January 2011
    China to explore Mars with Russia this year 2 January 2011 special focus on what happened to the water that appears to have once been abundant on the planet's surface. China has already begun probing the moon and this will be the next step in its ambitious space exploration programme, which it aims to be on a par with those of the United States and Russia. It currently has a probe -- the Chang'e 2 -- orbiting the moon and carrying out various tests in preparation for the expected 2013 launch of the Chang'e-3, which it hopes will be its first unmanned lunar landing. It also became the world's third nation to put a man in space independently -- after the United States and Russia -- when Yang Liwei piloted the one-man Shenzhou-5 space mission in 2003. People pass in front of models of Long March rocket at the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum in Chengdu, southwestern China. The country's first Mars (c) 2011 AFP probe is expected to be launched in October this year in a joint operation with Russia after a two-year delay, state media reported Sunday. China's first Mars probe is expected to be launched in October this year in a joint operation with Russia after a two-year delay, state media reported Sunday. The probe, Yinghuo-1, was due to blast off in October 2009 with Russia's "Phobos Explorer" from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan but the launch was postponed, the official Xinhua news agency said. Quoting an unnamed expert at the China Academy of Space Technology, the report said the blast-off had been pushed back to October this year.

  • Chapter 1 China's Space Development
    Chapter 1 China’s Space Development— A Tool for Enhancing National Strength and Prestige n the latter half of the 1950s, China initiated a program of rocket research and Idevelopment that led to the nation’s first successful launch of a satellite in April 1970, making China the world’s fifth space-exploring nation, following the then Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Japan. Further efforts in space development allowed China to launch a human into orbit aboard the Shenzhou 5 in October 2003. China was the third nation to succeed in human spaceflight, following the then Soviet Union and the United States. Moreover, China’s space development has continued to branch out to other fields, as seen in its successful interception of one of its orbiting satellites in January 2007, its launch of a moon explorer in the following October, and its plans to construct a space station. The organizations involved in China’s space development program share strong ties with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and a large proportion of the satellites launched and operated by China are believed to be used for military purposes. Additionally, Chinese white papers on defense and space development define advanced space engineering as a critical element of defense. Although China has consistently advocated a ban on the deployment of weapons in space, this may be just an attempt to put a check on the United States, the nation most militarily active in space. China’s successful anti-satellite weapon test in January 2007 triggered strong concern in many countries as it demonstrated that China had acquired the ability to destroy the satellites of other nations as well.
