  1. It sounds like I've seen it somewhere and very cool indeed, but I can't remember where.
  2. Blackout every time when I saw it. Let's hope Musk proves that this way works. "YF-130 is fine, why you guys changing it!" However, CZ-9 is still in the state of technical demonstration - meaning that the final design of it hasn't settle down and the project still not been established yet. If anyone want to see a more objective and most plausible final design of the CZ-9 rocket, my advice would be to observe the construction of new facilities at the Wenchang launch site in recent years - especially something particularly large.
  3. Possible Chinese rocket debris found on island in southwest Japan. That should be the CZ-4B's fairing. It took four days for the currents to push the wreckage to Kagoshima, and seven days from the villagers to report it to we had this news report...
  4. I know and agree with that, what I said just kidding hahaha But just in terms of visuals, that's the first comparison that popped into my head.
  5. The info I can got is "this company has over 82,000 tonnes of mopedantte concentrate stored in its warehouses in central Russia and the division currently has a supply capacity of 1,200 tonnes per month (in two-tonne bulk bags)." And that's from 2020. When I saw these crates, reminds me a strange rumour from Russia I had heard from somewhere. It says that around the 1970s some Chinese speculators went to Soviet to buy a lot of broken glass because it was packed in wooden boxes made of good pine wood. The Soviets at the time didn't think too much of it until the group of Chinese placed too many orders. Only then did they react to the fact that the gang's intentions were not pure. This is because although pine was common in the Soviet Union, not much of it was available as wood in China. "To this day, you can still see the broken glass on the beaches of Shanghai." The things that need to be clarified are firstly that I don't know if this has ever happened, and secondly that there really isn't a huge amount of broken glass on the beach in Shanghai. The last thing is that there is a similar story in a Chinese historical fable from 3000 years ago called buy a case and return the pearl.
  6. Besides saying that and told us Artemis 3 will delay to 2026, he also met the CNSA's administrator Although he's not someone official from NASA - he's already retired. But then again, it's better to sit down and have a good chat than anything else.
  7. ¥600 million, hmmmmmm, it's money that "wants to get things done properly".
  8. Typical failure reason in ksp. Hope they've learned their lesson. However, the successful landing of the Chang'e missions relies heavily on the large amount of redundant fuel it carries.
  9. Donald Thomas was invited to participate in the Space Day in China. He then gave a presentation on the Artemis missions. He said Artemis 3 manned mission to the moon, with launch delayed until 2026. via. https://weibo.com/2645044133/MDBbdc4oN
  10. But if you consider adding another kind of fuel, it means adding a corresponding weight. I think it would be better to work on the engine and orbit design a bit more.
  11. Details of this: "In order to optimise the overall layout of the space station, reduce the obstruction of the core module solar arrays by two experiment module and the risk of collision between the robotic arm and solar arrays. General systems department proposes a mission for the in-orbit transfer of the solar arrays of the core module." The solar arrays need to fold in "T-shape" The astronauts used tools to disconnect the 12 loose screws and 8 electrical connectors from the solar array to the module The robotic arm will shift the arrays to the truss at end of experiment module. Astronauts install the expansion controller to connect the array to the electromechanical interface with the module. The array will then be deployed again. via.https://weibo.com/6389414951/4894418807030806?sudaref=t.co
  12. Just watched the original interview (if you want to practise your Chinese, here it is). In addition to repeating the conditions underlying its awakening: (The thing I need to add here that he later mentions that if both of these base conditions are met, but if it doesn't get enough power for the day to sustain it through the night, it will remain dormant again.) He then added the impact of unpredictable Martian dust accumulation on solar sails: If 20% more than the original designed dust accumulation, generation capacity will not be sufficient If >30%, it may need to wait until the sun is at its peak before it has the capacity to generate electricity If >40%, never wake up So, I don't think is some kind confirm but rather like the family of a terminally ill patient getting mental preparation.
  13. 24 Apr. 1970 at 21:35:44 CST, Dong Fang Hong-1 lift off from JSLC Launch Area 5020 Its orbital parameters: 24 Apr. 1974: 439 × 2384km × 68.5° 24 Apr. 2023: 429 × 2021km × 68.42°
  14. According to Deep Space Exploration Lab's official Weibo, the launch of Tianwen-2 is specifically scheduled for May 2025. The current schedule is almost complete with the development of the initial prototype. The flight model will be carried on in mid of 2023. Launch Transferring for around 1 year to asteroid 2016HO3 Rendezvous with the asteroid Approximately one year of close detection Sampling Return for around six months Return capsule re-entry to atmosphere while the main probe pulls up Transferring to Comet 311P for around 7 years Comet detection Add: same info but this page of slides has the clearer images of the Tianwen-2 Top right is the probe with return capsule and the bottom of it is the entire Tianwen-2. And it may have another mission about China's first asteroid defence experiment: hypervelocity kinetic impact on a 50m class asteroid and direct in-orbit assessment of impact effects via. https://weibo.com/2645044133/MDtxwyxKq
  15. Yang Liwei recently attended a talk at a youth space science education programme in Yunnan Province. So based on the exclusion and the ongoing arrangement of China's manned space crew, we can now congratulate Jing Haipeng in advance on his selection for the Shenzhou-16 crew and his role as commander. Congratulations on going into space for the fourth time. I guess the Shenzhou-16 crew member are Jing Haipeng and two of new astronauts from the third echelon which haven't available to the public yet.
  16. emmmm... yeah, didn't back to the "traditional". It said that is planning to be finished two of this rocket's test flight around 2033. Total length 114m, take-off weight 4400t, take-off thrust 6100t, rocket diameter 10.6m, can sent >150t payloads to LEO and >50 to TLI Me: blackout suddenly* Hope Elon can launch more Starships asap to prove this way is correct or not. Personally, I prefer the "traditional" type of CZ-9
