finally, Yaogan 7 is launched, they probably have several more in this series to launch. I love the part stating all the civilian uses, when the only thing that comes to my mind is ASBM!
JIUQUAN, Gansu: China launched Wednesday a remote-sensing satellite, "Yaogan VII," from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province.

The satellite was successfully launched into the space on a Long March 2D carrier rocket at 4:42 p.m., the center reported.

It will be mainly used for scientific experiment, land resources survey, crop yield estimates and disaster prevention and reduction, according to the center.

The satellite was developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. The rocket was designed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, also under the corporation.

The flight was the 120th of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

Although the US has a 40+ year head in space travel, the only accomplishment China has to meet to be equals is land a man on the moon, pretty amazing considering between 2003 to 2008 they got up this fast !

Re: china manned space - news and views

rumour from the same guy that I've been posting for a while, this looks quite believable.
北斗2的军用定位精度是0.3米,原子钟等核心技术拥有自主知识产权,可以向地面发短信,2015完成体系内组网,与其他天基系统海洋监视卫星,气象卫星, 雷达侦察卫星和中继卫星等可以交联.到2015年某方的卫星系统有能力为精确制导武器提供秒级的信息下达,届时覆盖西太平洋的信息化框架将成型
says the accuracy of the military service is 0.3 m. Atomic clock and other core technology are developed indigenously, can send short text message to ground. It will form a network in 2015 along with Haiyang series, FY series, data relay satellites, reconnaissance satellites. Basically says by 2015, it will provide complete coverage of Western Pacific Ocean for precision weapons.

I cant agree with you on that point.While not wishing to make light of China's space achievements, it has had Russian help, while the Americans had to start from scratch and they have gone on to do a lot more than land on the moon.

Bladerunner you should give credit where credit is due. Aside from docking mechanism and Soyus shell the Chinese did everything themselves even the space suit they have their own version. And your assertion that US did everything themselves is nothing but delusion. If you go to NASA office back in 60's and look at the name plate in their office almost all of them have German name If you don't believe me just google operation paper clip. US imported wholesale the German rocket engineering design group in Pneemunde They even carted the V2 rocket back to US

Ironically if there is one country that China should thank for. It is US because by deporting Dr Tsien Hsue Shen US unwitingly help China realized her space ambition.He is the father of Chinese rocket science and also US rocket program because together with Dr Von Karman they founded Jet propulsion lab in Caltech here is the link in Wikipedia

Me Bad for overlooking that aspect.and I do think China should be proud on what she's achieved.

The point I was trying to get across is that although each country or private enterprise that has space ambitions, has its own hurdles to cross, I think it is easier for the later starters such as China India Japan etc than it was for the Pioneers in space travel, as they had to go through alot more trial and error.

However IMO a huge gap still remains in space technology and achievement between USA and China even when she does land on the moon.

There is no Soyuz shell involved, as the Shenzhou spacecraft is bigger than the Soyuz. The docking mechanism is an international "standard".

US brought a lot of NK-33 and NK-34 engines from Russia back in the 90's. These are oxygen-rich engines long been asserted by American engineers as being impossible to built. This shows just because US hasn't done something, that does not mean it is impossible to do.
