In the weeks leading up to the Zhuhai Airshow in November 2024, China unveiled two new commercial cargo spacecraft for the Chinese Space Station: Haolong-1 (designed by AVIC), and Qingzhou (developed by Shanghai Microsat aka SECM). These two spacecraft were selected after a public request for proposals, which included bids from commercial companies - a first for China and for its human spaceflight agency CMSA.
In this video, we discuss the characteristics of these two spacecraft, how they are transforming the Chinese space program's procurement process, and the factors behind the sel...

    Hi, super ultra question for you. Do you feel Chinas version of private spaceflight will be more objective in doing its own things, without trying to undermine the government portion of space? For example Space X is under fire for setting up the framework to ,monopolize space and even prevent NASA from staying in the launch and exploration market. Does China have plans to parallel a government space and private space without a contamination aspect?

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour 5 дней назад

      With the way things work in China, there is no chance of any private company undermining the government's scope of work. It's quite the opposite, private companies will only be able to develop in areas authorized/encouraged by the Chinese government.

    I congratulate with all due respects most respectfully but it seems to be still a vintage 1960s brute force mentality of vertical flight since Haolong -1's folding wings deploy only after entering orbit a theme also explored by "lunar flight of Starship Troopers", "Imperial shuttle of Star Wars", and Apple TV+ "Foundation" which is ironic since a museum in of Beijing has an anti Satellite rocket on display inside an alcove identical to "Spaceship & Sun" emblem of Asimov's trilogies. Still Shandong or divine dragon spaceplane launched from a Xian H6 which is a jet powered bomber of 1940s design has been proven successful so does a :Haolong -1 take off like a spaceplane from underside of a Xian H-6 or even from an underside of a decommissioned surplus Harbin H5? China is of a Brobdingnagian Population and area balkanized from within analogous to perception of aerosol sprays used to layer over a gigantic maiden's acne zits viewed from upon in front of a dressing table vanity inside a boudoir adjacent to plumbing fixtures since China is upwind from Vancouver Seatle so will it be successful for space tours.
