China announces to build base on Moon, plans by 2050; Who is competing?

Competition between NASA and CNSA to stay ahead

China and America often compete with each other in the world of space. There is a competition between NASA and CNSA to stay ahead of each other. To compete with NASA, China's space agency CNSA has made a complete plan till 2050 and in the coming few years, China will also prepare its base in space.

China's top space organizations unveiled a long-term development program for space science that will guide the country's space science missions and space exploration planning from 2024 to 2050.

China's space science goals were outlined at an event released to the media here by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the China National Space Administration and the China Manned Space Agency. It covers five major scientific disciplines and 17 priority areas under a three-phase format.

Ding Chibiao, vice president of CAS, told the media that the International Lunar Research Station launched by China will be built during the second phase from 2028 to 2035. The program also outlines a roadmap for the development of space science in China by 2050.

China has told planning till 2050

In the first phase, China will focus on implementing space station operations by 2027, a manned lunar exploration project, the fourth phase of its lunar exploration program, and a planetary exploration project.

He said that under the new plan, scientists will explore the habitability of the solar system and extrasolar planets and explore the existence of life in places other than Earth.

Ding said the main areas of space development in the coming years will be the origin and evolution of the solar system, the properties of planetary atmospheres, the search for life on other planets, and the discovery of exoplanets.

According to the program, the theme of extreme universe also focuses on the exploration of the origin and evolution of the universe, the exploration of physical laws in extreme cosmic conditions, the exploration of dark matter, and the origin and evolution of the universe. Cosmic baryonic matter.

The study will focus on detecting medium to low frequency gravitational waves and primitive gravitational waves with the aim of unraveling the nature of gravity and space-time and exploring the Sun and Earth.

According to the programme, priority areas include Earth orbit system, Earth-Moon comprehensive observations, space weather observations, three-dimensional solar exploration and heliosphere exploration.
