Dec 28, 2011 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
III. Major Tasks for the Next Five Years
In the next five years, China will strengthen its basic capacities
of the space industry, accelerate research on leading-edge
technology, and continue to implement important space scientific and
technological projects, including human spaceflight, lunar
exploration, high-resolution Earth observation system, satellite
navigation and positioning system, new-generation launch vehicles,
and other priority projects in key fields. China will develop a
comprehensive plan for construction of space infrastructure, promote
its satellites and satellite applications industry, further conduct
space science research, and push forward the comprehensive,
coordinated and sustainable development of China's space industry.
1. Space Transportation System
China will build a stronger space transportation system, keep
improving its launch vehicle series, and enhance their capabilities
of entering space.
It will enhance the reliability and adaptability of launch
vehicles in service, and develop new-generation launch vehicles and
their upper stages, implement the first flight of the Long March-5,
Long March-6 and Long March-7 launch vehicles. The Long March-5 will
use non-toxic and pollution-free propellant, and will be capable of
placing 25 tons of payload into the near-Earth orbit, or placing 14
tons of payload into the GEO orbit. The Long March-6 will be a new
type of high-speed response launch vehicle, which will be capable of
placing not less than 1 ton of payload into a sun-synchronous orbit
at a height of 700 km. The Long March-7 will be capable of placing
5.5 tons of payload into a sun-synchronous orbit at a height of 700
km.
It will conduct special demonstrations and pre-research on key
technologies for heavy-lift launch vehicles.
2. Man-made Earth Satellites
China will build a space infrastructure frame composed of Earth
observation satellites, communications and broadcasting satellites,
plus navigation and positioning satellites, and will develop a
preliminary long-term, sustained and stable service capability. China
will develop new types of scientific satellites and technological
test satellites.
1) Earth observation satellites
China will improve its present meteorological, oceanic, and
resource satellite series and its small satellites constellation for
environmental and disaster monitoring and forecasting. It aims at
developing and launching new-generation GEO meteorological
satellites, stereo mapping satellites, radar satellites for
environment and disaster monitoring, electromagnetic monitoring test
satellites, and other new-type Earth observation satellites. It will
work to make breakthroughs in key technologies for interferometric
synthetic-aperture radar and gravitational field measurement
satellites. It will initiate a high-resolution Earth observation
system as an important scientific and technological project and
establish on the whole a stable all-weather, 24-hour, multi-spectral,
various-resolution Earth observation system.
2) Communications and broadcasting satellites
China will improve satellites for fixed communications services,
television and radio service satellites and data relay satellites;
develop satellites for mobile communication service; and develop a
platform of higher capacity and higher power for new-generation GEO
communications and broadcasting satellites. (more)
