As scholars of space law and space policy who lead the Indiana University Ostrom Workshop's Space Governance Program, we have been following the development of the Chinese space station with interest., Tiangong is entirely built and run by China. The successful opening of the station is the beginning of some exciting science.
Like China's aircraft carriers and other spacecraft, Tiangong is based on a Soviet-era design — it is pretty much a copy of the Sovietfrom the 1980s. But the Tiangong station has been heavily modernized and improved. The Chinese space station is slated to stay in orbit for 15 years, with plans to send two six-month crewed missions and two cargo missions to it annually. The science experiments have already begun, with a planned study involving monkey reproduction commencing in the station's biological test cabinets. Whether the monkeys will cooperate is an entirely different matter.The main function of the Tiangong station is to perform research on life in space.
Although the new station is small compared to the 16 modules of the International Space Station, Tiangong and the science done aboard will help support China's future space missions. In December 2023, China is planning to launch a new space telescope called
Shut down due to COVID. Dissenting cosmonauts under house arrest, foreign manufacturing stopped. J/k.
It's worth reading the Artemis Accords. It's setting up a 'United Space States', with the USA as the dominant partner. It's also circumventing the sovereignty restrictions of the 1967 treaty with 'Safety Zones.' This is a good thing! 😁 TCS
Uhh dont get too cockey i dont believe the CCP is allowing just anyone up there also their 'Space station' as you put it. Also maybe point out just how different they are using their 'Space station' vs you know the ISS. Which is used INTERNATIONALLY cept for nations comit crimes
Space activity should be kept out of competition. Earth is balanced perfectly for life by many aspects all of that even human does not know till now. Any unintended mistake due to competition might endanger existence of life on earth.
Here come the Chinese. We be done.
Nice.
and yet their still called a developing nation🤣🤣🤣
They just asked a question who owns the moon you're going to start blowing each other out of Sky pretty soon but it wouldn't surprise me you did it on Earth you'll do it up there
