China's aerospace industry led by China's aerospace industry reached 120 billion

Although the forecast said there would be a cold, but the Gobi Chinese West is alive. This morning, if weather conditions permit, China's second manned space flight - Shenzhou spacecraft will launch in Gansu, Jiuquan, six.

"The launch was a step forward in China's space development program." Shanghai aerospace measurement and control communication research in the "Shenzhou VI" developed by Zhu Ronglin, deputy director of science and Technology Committee of the "First Financial Daily" said.

11 pm, 6 astronaut candidate Echelon "Shenzhou VI" task execution media briefing held. The final 2 astronauts will be selected from the top 6. According to media speculation, Jiangsu Suzhou astronaut Fei Junlong is likely to be from Hubei province and Nie Haisheng partner, the "Shenzhou VI" task execution.

"The last race for the astronauts may be at the last minute, because the 6 astronauts are about the same physical quality, the key is the psychological quality, affordability, which is measured in the base method." Zhu Ronglin said.

According to the "chief designer Wang Yongzhi introduced," Shenzhou VI "Shenzhou VI" will undertake three tasks: the first is to continue to break the basic technology of manned space flight, to achieve multi day flight; second is the space science experiment China first people involved; third is the performance appraisal to continue and improve the engineering system.

As an important part of the national aerospace industry development "921 project" three step, "the key significance of Shenzhou VI" plays.

Professor Jiao Weixin, Peking University School of earth and Space Sciences said two years ago, the "Shenzhou" astronauts in the cabin activity just returned, did not enter the orbital module, basic technology and this will continue to breakthrough of manned space flight, including multi day flight, the astronauts in extravehicular space walk, "try to solve the problem of astronauts in space and Lazarus," the spacecraft rendezvous and docking with the space capsule. On the basis of the breakthrough of these technologies, we have launched a space laboratory which has been taken care of by some people for a short time, and built a complete space engineering system to lay the foundation for the establishment of a permanent space laboratory in the future. Shenzhou series of spacecraft also led to the development of a series of economic chain linkage. Some experts have predicted that the field of space each invested 1 yuan, the whole society will produce a total of $8 to $14 to drive the benefits, which estimates the total size of China's aerospace industry has reached about 120 billion yuan.

"The transformation of space technology into real life can produce countless visible benefits." Jiao Weixin said that the manned space see not see benefit influence is far-reaching, the earth observation meteorological, geological disasters such as the phenomenon of higher than the general benefit sensing satellite effect, driven by scientific research, can only be made in a microgravity environment, promote life space science and microgravity materials science, semiconductor materials and other areas of development. In addition, the completion of each task required to complete the relevant equipment, can lead to a number of production enterprises spontaneous technology, equipment updates.
