China expects major breakthroughs in space science: white paper

[kevindavis007]

China plans to achieve major discoveries and breakthroughs in the frontier areas of space science, according to a white paper released on Tuesday.


Targeting major frontier areas of space science and technology, China will implement a series of new space science satellite programs in the next five years to further mankind's knowledge of the universe, said the white paper.


Scientists will seek evidence of the existence of dark matter by using dark matter particle exploration satellites to detect high-energy electrons and high-energy gamma rays in the universe.


China also plans to launch a hard X-ray modulation telescope to study the matter dynamics and high-energy radiation processes in the strong gravitational field of compact celestial bodies and black holes.


Scientists will research large-scale structure and interaction models of solar wind and the magnetosphere, and the response to magnetospheric substorm change process.


Shijian-10 recoverable satellite, Chang'e lunar probes, Shenzhou spacecraft, Tiangong-2 space laboratory and Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft are to be used to implement scientific experiments and research in biology, life sciences, medicine and materials in the space environment.


The country will also carry out quantum experiments in space.

These clowns have an economy in shambles, an environment that is a disaster, people living in subterranean rooms because they can't afford anything else, riots about to break out over lack of resources and now we are to believe they are going to make a credible effort for space exploration?

They're a communist nation. If it gives them the upper hand in space, they can make their social ills disappear.

You would think that, but they are now some hybrid of Communism. Too many Oligarchs syphoning off money and parking it outside China's control. They also have a ton of displaced starving farmers ready to riot and no one is buying their cheap shit anymore to give them jobs. This white paper is propaganda that isn't worth the rice paper it was written on.

Yup.

One thing that I have learned in History is that never underestimate the bad guys.  Granted we did beat the Soviets to the moon mainly cause our Rocket Nazi's where better than there Rocket Nazi's..

The USSR was not able to make them disappear and neither will the Chicoms. They paper the ills over and try to contain them until they can no longer do it and everything collapses. Way too much corruption to be sustainable.
