China successfully launched this Monday the last module of his Space station in developing Tiangongwhich should allow the design to be fully operational as part of its ambitious program in space.

a wish China build your own Space station fueled in part by the United States’ refusal to accept the Chinese into the International Space Station program (ISS), a joint initiative of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan.

The module is called mengtian (“Dream of the Sky”) was launched at 15:27 (07:27 GMT) by an LM 5B rocket from the tropical island of Hainan (south), according to public television CCTV.

Amateur photographers and space enthusiasts captured the event from a beach near the Wenchang Space Center.

“Experimental module mengtian accurately entered the specified orbit, ”said mission spokesman Deng Hongqin on television a few minutes later.

“I declare this launch an absolute success,” said Dan, surrounded by other enthusiasts in the control room.

mengtian this is the third and last important element of the space station Tiangong T-shaped

Tiangong (“Heavenly Palace”), similar in size to the former Russian-Soviet Mir station, was supposed to have a service life of at least 10 years.

Delay restored

The “first cold atomic clock” has also been sent into space, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

The device will allow in the future to have a more accurate measurement of time.

Since June, three astronauts, including a woman, have been on the Chinese space station on a mission lasting about six months.

Although China does not provide for international cooperation for its station, Beijing assured that it is open to foreign cooperation.

The Asian giant has been investing billions of dollars in its space program for decades, which has allowed it to regain much of its backlog from the Americans and Russians.

China sent its first astronaut into space in 2003.

In 2019, he placed the device on the hidden side of the moon, which was unprecedented.

In 2020, the country returned samples from the moon and completed Beidou, its satellite navigation system, a competitor to the American GPS.

The following year, he managed to land a small robot on Mars.

China plans to send humans to the moon by 2030. (AFP)
