China aimed at the moon. Two multiple giant missiles will fly into space: what is known
Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! The main contractor of the Chinese Space Program Chinese Aerospace Scientific and Technical Corporation (CASC) as part of the monthly program is about to send two new reusable rockets to space into space. The future launches of rockets, which should take place in 2025 and 2026, is the key to the successful implementation of the first in the history of the PRC landing astronauts on the month by 2030.
If the past space rockets used by China were disposable, then new rockets are intended for reusable use. This means that they will not only be more advanced in technological terms, but also more profitable in financial terms. Each new mission does not have to create a new rocket from scratch. CASC does not report what new rockets are called, but it is known that one of them will have a diameter of 4 meters and the other - 5 meters.
American experts suggest that it may be versions of the future Chinese launch vehicle "Changzhen-10" 92 meters long. It will be able to deliver about 27 tons of amounts in orbit around the moon. With the help of the Changozhen-10 rocket-10, the Menzhou spacecraft with Chinese astronauts on board will be delivered to the moon. He has already written about this ship.
It is believed that the test launch of the Changozhen-10 missile can bring a manned spacecraft of the next generation to the Earth's orbit as early as 2025. But launching in 2026 there is no information, so experts do not even make assumptions. While several private Chinese companies are currently developing multiple missiles, new reusable state corporation missiles can significantly expand China's ability to launch space.
In this way, the state will be able to compete with private contractors, according to American experts. It is known that CASC, according to the corporation's report, "successfully completed the test and has reached a technological breakthrough in the field of multiple missiles" last year. According to Focus, the new multiple Starship missile, created by SpaceX, has to go to the third test flight on March 14.
