The China Manned Space Office officially announced,In 2026, it is planned to implement two manned missions and one cargo spacecraft supply mission.This year’s manned spaceflight has two major highlights:First, astronauts from Hong Kong and Macao are expected to carry out space station missions as early as this year.
Second, one astronaut in the Shenzhou 23 flight crew will conduct a one-year residency test, which is currently half a year.
Since China's manned space project entered the space station application and development stage, it has been successfully completedThere were 6 manned flights, 4 cargo supplies, and 7 spacecraft return missions, and the first emergency launch was successfully implemented.
6 astronaut crews and 18 people staying in orbit for a long time, a total of 13 astronauts and multiple payloads have been carried out, multiple extravehicular maintenance missions have been carried out, the world record for the duration of a single astronaut's extravehicular activity has been set, the selection of the fourth batch of reserve astronauts including Hong Kong and Macao load experts has been completed, and the low-cost cargo transportation system has been selected and developed.
At present, the China Space Station has deployed and implemented 267 scientific and application projects in orbit, involving the fields of space life science and human body research, microgravity physics and new space technologies, and has achieved a number of internationally leading application and technological achievements. Some of the achievements have been transferred, transformed and promoted, significantly promoting the rapid development of my country's space science and applications.
In addition, aiming at the goal of realizing the first Chinese landing on the moon by 2030, the research and development and construction work of the lunar landing phase of the manned lunar exploration project is progressing steadily.
Up to now, the development of major flight products such as the Long March 10 carrier rocket, Mengzhou manned spacecraft, and the Moon Lander has been progressing smoothly. Large-scale tests such as the Mengzhou manned spacecraft's zero-altitude escape, the Moon Lander's landing and takeoff, the Long March 10 carrier rocket's tethered ignition, the Long March 10 carrier rocket system's low-altitude demonstration and verification, and the Mengzhou manned spacecraft's maximum dynamic pressure escape flight have been completed.
In 2026, all efforts will be made to promote the construction of supporting facilities and equipment related to the lunar landing mission at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, as well as the construction of various ground support system projects such as measurement and control communications and landing sites.
