In China, the successful launch into space of the ship "Shenzhou-11" ("Sacred Shuttle") with two astronauts on board, transmits RIA News.





“During the 2 day, Shenzhou-11 must dock with the Tiangong-2 space laboratory (Heavenly Palace-2). The crew will conduct a series of medical and scientific experiments. In total, taykunauts (cosmonauts) will stay on the 33 orbit of the day, ”the report says.

The ship was launched from the Jiuquan Cosmodrome, with Jing Haipeng (crew commander) and Chen Dong on board. The commander went into space for the third time.

"The launch of the 11 mission was successful," said flight manager Zhang Yusya.

“During the 33 of the day that the Taikunauts will be in orbit, they will have to perform a series of experiments,” said one of the program representatives.

This mission "Shenzhou-11" will be a record for China in terms of duration.

PRC Chairman Xi Jinping congratulated all the members of the mission on their successful work.

“I hope everyone will continue to work in the same spirit and fulfill all the tasks set in order to speed up the process of space exploration by China and create a powerful space power”- said the head of state.

      I support. Well done Chinese! Created their own space station, independently of anyone. We destroyed our space station for the sake of the United States and the West, in order to transport them to the "international" space station.
      The Chinese planned-market socialist economy is gaining first place in the world, the time will come and they will not only copy, but also create their own technologies.

          Pah pah Tipun to your tongue

          In Kazakhstan, this is generally a phobia. And she is not without foundation

          Of course, we all understand that in this situation, China is an ally and friend against the much greater threat of world aggressors - they generally want to deal with us all

          But China, of course, is a very problematic ally - because there is a danger of quiet penetration - culture - finance - business - and then enclaves of the population, etc.

          For thousands of years, the great steppe has opposed China - and Kazakhstan is the heir to the great steppe.
          And now the situation is contradictory.

          I think the best course is to revive great Eurasia - the heiress of the great steppe - let Ukraine be lost - but Russia and Belarusians and our relatives of Kyrgyzstan and neighbors are friends of Tajiks - and there you look and who will catch up
          The union of the steppes and Slavs - as Gumilyov said - is the great Eurasian empire - and it will shorten the appetites of all on our lands and resources

        Well, then the Russian module has a place to be, there’s nothing wrong with that, but on the up, down and the lion's share of the trucks, it doesn’t fall on the budget but is paid by customers laughing And look at the taykunyaftof, they are in our suits, in addition to the dumb Chinese boots., Their carrier is our Union, only the accelerators are convex, it is clear that our filling, and their separate the station is like a Gagarin ball, it flies for 33 days and everyone will do research on vomiting, maybe on cockroaches in zero gravity and home on a Russian steam shoot. You do not confuse it with the ISS station and our module, the whole construction with a football field, except for living quarters and providing scientific laboratories, simulators, etc. The Chinese have not just timid little steps, but also more politics and PR, and our junk is very ancient and not it must be said that they will catch up, we will further go away from them, we have the Angara, etc.

          Yes, there are two different projects in the class, in general, and in particular, including media.
          In theory, it is already necessary to create echelons and corridors in orbit, because
          - the general rules for the use of near-earth pr-v are very vague, we can say that they are not there.
          - New startups (China, India, Japan, even North Korea) have a vague idea of ​​how to dispose of the waste environment and metal sludges that have developed a service life. We and the Americans, of course, also in these problems, but have made significant progress in these matters.
          - Threats of losing control over the deployment of nuclear weapons in space are outlined in the foreseeable future, and something more advanced than Prometheus is already needed.
          But in general, I believe that we should launch our own MIR-2, especially since the ISS is nearing its end of life.

          - "grub"

          Everything is determined by the economic development of a state that wants to explore space.
          China is developing at such a rapid pace that it has left behind the United States. Investing in space is not difficult for him, they will only increase their capital investments in space technology, which will inevitably result in the rapid advancing development of space technology.
          Russia, in terms of economic development, has been in stagnation for more than a dozen years, and improvement with the existing ideology of development (a raw material appendage of developed countries) is not expected. Well, there is no need for space for export-raw-material oligarchs who "play the main violin" in the leadership of the Russian state.
          Is it really incomprehensible? You will not be a century ahead of the old Soviet baggage and groundwork in space, you need powerful capital investments in space technology, and "there is no money in the budget. All in all, good mood!"

In space, this is the limit of civilization technologies, they could not even copy our old fighter engines, and the Americans could not copy our space engines (feel the difference), BUT ours do not stand still, but simply widen the gap. Those. 2 countries with a budget of 20% of the world cannot copy the technological level of 3,3% of the global economy, while the Russian Federation has 3,3%, but this is production, this is production and the population is fed without tension, because 0,15 billion and 2% of the world's population. Given this, we have a commensurate GDP, where the USA has more virtual, China has more for survival, although they have overwhelmed the world market with cheap and consumer goods, but a huge donor needs to be purchased with raw materials, it is not self-sufficient for food, you need to buy high-tech products (aviation , space, nuclear industry, mechanical engineering, weapons) have to buy.

              Konstantin Feoktistov, USSR pilot-cosmonaut, Doctor of Technical Sciences, professor who designed the Vostok, Voskhod, Soyuz spacecraft, Salyut, Salyut-4, Salyut-6, Salyut-7 orbital stations "And" World "including. So, according to him, recently “at the Mir station” the functions of astronauts basically boiled down to the work of dispatch technicians or repairmen. The impact of research is small. ” Especially for pseudo-patriots, it is necessary to explain what Theoktistov meant. The USSR was preparing space explorers for Peace. They had to work at the station, the service life of which was three years, and then prepare for the flight to the new station. But there was no new station, and I had to fly at the old one that had served its term. As a result, Russia was preparing not researchers and conquerors of the stellar abyss, but extremely expensive space plumbers and locksmiths. This is very sad, but this sad truth must be recognized.

              Judging by Koptev - not 3, but 5 planned dates:
              “Initially, the Mir complex was designed with a warranty period of three years. To date, the actual life of the complex has exceeded the originally planned more than 4 times. "

              The planned replacement of Mir was to take place in 1995, when Mir-2 was to be launched into orbit.

              By the way, apart from the collision with Progress, Mir survived 2 big fires. The most difficult year was 1997: fire, collision, failure of the solar battery, 3 failures of the on-board computer, 3 failures of the navigation system. As a result, already in 1998, a decision was made to flood.

    Although, it seems to me, no computer can replace the head of MV Keldysh and many other creators of our space victories.

    The Chinese are still well done. They took it and launched a small one. First done, and then reported. Not like Elon Musk or 404.

    Another ten years and China will eclipse everything around.

    It will not overshadow, but space programs develop dynamically enough

    -China tries to do everything on its own ... -Even the "donated" and "stolen" technologies from the Chinese begin to babble in Chinese ... -What remains for Russia.? -Pull someone else by the ears "to the surface" ...- "patronize" in order to create a "counterbalance state" to China ..? -How much does India need to pull by the ears, and how many Russian funds will be needed for India to gain at least some comparable power ... -It is unlikely that this idea is feasible ...
    - You can blame the United States in many ways .., but the fact that China has received industrial and scientific potential, such advanced technologies and weapons ... - are to blame exclusively ... - first the USSR, and now Russia ... - Russia is trying the most the latest weapons to transfer to China ... -Well, but China is "not lost" ... -time everything goes into the hands of itself ... -Who will refuse ... -What will just become with Russia ..?

      Is your information about China technology sources reliable?
      In this case, the production of microelectronics in China is based on Russian technology?
      Explain what kind of "newest" weapons transferred to the PRC are you talking about?
      Why should Russia create "counterweights" to the PRC?

    I am glad for them, if only they did not follow the path of "exceptional".

    Well done. As we are at the level of the 70s. But nevertheless - well done, really! Because they do not "replace import" but IMPORT SUBSTITUTE!
    And they’re not afraid to set great horizons for themselves, and move towards them, under the wise guidance of the CCP!

    In China, the “Shenzhou-11” (“Holy Shuttle”) spacecraft was successfully launched into space with two astronauts on board,
    two accelerating steps and 25 stokers burned down laughing

    When the Chinese completely seize the resources of Siberia and the Far East, then some of the commentators will also write "the Chinese are great!"
