The Chinese space station Tiangong will expand in the coming years to organize several astronauts and experiments

As we know, the Trump administration would be willing to reduce the dedication to the International Space Station (ISS) that points to the Moon and Mars. This would allow the budget For Leo operations that look at deep space. In the coming years, however, we must attend the Russian ROS space station and attend the Indian Bas with the US and Europe will focus on future commercial space stations. There China Instead, it would be the intention to Tiangong Space Station To make the contemporary presence of a larger number of astronauts and more experiments possible.

Currently the CSS (China Space Station) is smaller than the ISS, with the presence of the modules Tianhe” Mixtian one Wentianwho form its characteristic structure a “T”. In the future, however, new modules could arrive that would make it possible to add new workshops and space for the crew. With the similarities that initially provided for a Pakistani astronaut and in the future, even European and Russian will also be needed to allow better coexistence, especially for missions with a duration of a few months.

Second What was explained The future modules of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) will be sent in space thanks to Long spatial rocket 5B. In contrast to satellite launches for the satellite constellation of Satnet, the first stadium will not be suborbital but orbital in this case and therefore, with regard to the other modules, there will be an uncontrolled return that causes a certain capture.

Second Wang Jue (Van de Casc), the design of the new units will enable better future reliability, but also a better return. The same space carrier will be used for the Xuntian Space Telescope (with a primary mirror of 2 meters and a 2.5 gigapixel resolution) with which you can have a field of vision about 300 times higher than the Hubble Space Telescope. In contrast to HST, however, the job of Xuntian will be comparable to that of the Tiangong Space Station so that he moor For repairs and updates without special missions.

The precise plans for future launches are not yet clear. One of the possibilities is the addition of one Multifunctional module Both bits can host for other astronauts, as well as spaces dedicated to workshops and warehouse. The CSS will then be operated by new commercial freight capsules to enable better exchange of experiments and supplies and to guarantee an expansion of the space economy.
