After Earth, China also occupies space! 'Dragon' going to set up a city in space
Expansionist China is now trying to capture space. China is preparing to make a large 'megastructure' several kilometers in Earth's orbit. during this facility from solar energy plant, tourist complex, service station to asteroid mining will be available. Announcing a five-year plan, the National scientific discipline Foundation of China has instructed researchers to develop techniques.
Light weight materials are going to be utilized in the development of this structure in order that they'll be delivered to orbit with existing rockets. Scientists also will need technology to line up and control things within orbit. The Chinese government has said that there's an urgent need for megaprojects in space which will require huge spaceflights so they will be put into orbit. it's the primary project of its kind to own an almost one mile wide solar energy station which will be able to supply electricity to China's grid by 2035.
Other projects will include many large orbital platforms that may cover several miles of space. ahead of them, the International Space Station will look dwarf, which is simply about 350 feet wide. This megastructure will include several space stations that may be present in several places in orbit. China has already established its own Space Station Tiangong in space. It plans to extend its size by sending new research modules and telescopes into space.
NSFC has not given any specific information regarding the megastructure. The new information is barely about the instructions given for research. China wants to challenge America's NASA through its satellite. Actually, NASA is working the International space platform unitedly with many other European countries. There are currently seven astronauts on this orbiter.
