NEW YORK, May 26 (Reuters) - As U.S. kamikaze drones guided by Elon Musk's Starlink network began to make visible gains in the war against Iran, senior SpaceX officials reached a conclusion: The Pentagon should be paying more for access to their satellite Wi-Fi network.
Poor fire retardance, alleged worker smoking among fatal Hong Kong blaze theories, SCMP reportssuccessfully launched its largest and most powerful Starship – the China Manned Space Agency unveiled further details about its plans to integrate its crewed and un crewed lunar landing programmes into a single mission.
The purpose was “to fully leverage the technical foundations and practical experience accumulated over decades through crewed space programmes and theZhou Yaqiang, a senior engineer at the China Manned Space Agency, told reporters that the process of “combining experiences and expertise” from the various missions was “progressing smoothly”. When asked about the US-China moon race, Zhou reiterated the official Chinese position, saying that the country was committed to the peaceful use of space.
“We carry out the project of crewed lunar exploration under the established plan. We are not competing with other countries in space. Our crewed lunar programme is also not subject to interference from any factors,” he said.
“When Chinese astronauts land on the moon in the future, this will be a great feat for all of humanity. It will help increase our understanding of space. ” China plans to land astronauts on the moon before 2030, while Nasa aims to send Americans back to the moon in 2028 – the first time humans will have stood on the lunar surface since the last Apollo mission in 1972.
Next year’s crewed Nasa mission will see the Orion spacecraft docking with commercial landers from Blue Origin and SpaceX, with plans to land the Artemis IV astronauts on the moon in 2028. Meanwhile, China is planning to launch its uncrewed Chang’e-7 lunar probe later this year to survey the south pole of the moon.
It will also continue testing the Long March-10 carrier rocket, the Mengzhou spacecraft and Lanyue lander, which will be used when it sends its own astronauts to the moon. The space agency said the Tiangong space station would also play a key supporting role in helping to test equipment and give its astronauts experience. Zhang also said that the lunar mission’s “technological maturity and mission reliability” would “comprehensively improve through multiple space station flight missions over the next two years”.
