    With the grwatwst respect for your twchnical knowledge, the spacecraft's origins are back in 1962-63, when Korolov's team was developing Soyuz. You don't despute that, but China received a tremendous amount of technical support from Russia to develop Shenzhou. Now, there's lots of modern innovations on Shenzhou, the Orbital Module being at the top of the list. But Shenzhou remains in concept, a Russian design. And how's your Starship coming along? An original design, is it?

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour  2 года назад +2

      Yes, the Chinese chose to go for a proven design (Soyuz), and had some assistance from Russia for certain parts of Shenzhou.
      The newer NGCS spacecraft (currently in development), in contrast, is developed with indigenous means.

    Why china cannot develope its own technologies and design, The shenzhou module is a licensed version of The Russian Soyuz crew module. I mean it's okay to take inspiration from other's work because starting every small thing from scratch is painful, but China is a whole different story they attacks NASA's & ISRO's servers to get information, copies a ton of other's technology and hardly develops technology by themselves.
    No hard feelings, but it's high time for China to develop technologies in house, stop doing cyber attack and give credit to the sources from which it's taking help in developing something.

      If I remember well, Russia helped with the development and is not lost on me that Tiangong 1 and 2 kind had the same goal for the TSS as the Salyuts had for Mir.

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour  2 года назад +6

      It's very hard to get a final opinion on this topic. I would tend to agree with the well-established book "China in Space" by Brian Harvey: "In 1995, the Chinese were looking to buy critical elements for their manned space program. They bought an entire spacecraft life support system, a Sokol spacesuit, a docking module, a Kurs rendezvous system, and a full Soyuz capsule though the latter was stripped down shell without any equipment or electronics." (p. 367).
      So yes the Chinese did get quite a few systems from Russia which served as precious building blocks. I believe there's still a lot of indigenous systems in Shenzhou though. There are also intrinsic design differences (orbital module notably), and you can see incremental improvements between each version of Shenzhou since 1999.

      Dragon is nothing like soyuz and the chinese copy. Soyuz has three people crammed inside it in the fetal position. Dragon can carry up to seven people. Dragon volume is much larger. Just compare cabin pictures of each craft with their occupants. No comparison. They are as a different as night and day.
