China has big plans for the coming years and wants to send its first reusable spacecraft into space. It is visibly proud: the vehicle must be able to compete with the latest generation of American ships.
The spacecraft is even comparable to the latest generation of American ships such as the SpaceX Dragon V2, the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post reported on Wednesday. The Chinese spacecraft, which has not yet been named, is said to be larger and about twice as heavy as the Dragon V2.
It will be able to carry up to seven astronauts and will launch between 2027 and 2028, China’s state newspaper Guangzhou Daily quoted China’s space program deputy chief engineer Yang Liwei as saying Monday. Accordingly, the spacecraft should also be used in the planned manned moon landing by the Chinese. China wants to send astronauts to the moon by 2030.
