Chinanews, Beijing, Nov. 20 – In the next three years, China will launch a series of key national space projects, including landing on the moon and retrieving1 samples from the moon's surface, said a person at the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense2 (COSTIND), CCTV reported.

 

So far, China has successfully launched its moon probe satellite and make the satellite enter into the moon-transfer orbit. In the next stage, China will try to let the satellite make a soft landing on the moon and explore the moon surface (which will be included as the second phase of the moon project) and further retrieve3 some soil samples from the moon surface (which will be the third phase of China's moon project).

 

In addition to the moon probe project, China will also kick off some other major space projects. These will include: launching satellites that will observe the earth with high-resolution, launching the Bei-Dou Satellite Navigation System and kicking off researches on the development of new generations of carrier rockets.

 

At present, there are over 20 China-made satellites working in space. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period (2006-2010), China aims to total the number of such satellites up to 60, said Luo Ge, director of COSTIND's No.1 Section.

 

In the next three years, China will carry out more cooperations with other countries in the space field. China will work with Russia to launch the Mars exploration program and it will work with France in a series of astronomical4 and ocean observation programs. These cooperation projects will boost China's competitive edge in the space field in international market.
