At the first China Space Transportation System Development Forum, a hospital released the academic achievement of "Roadmap for the Development of the Space Transportation System 2017-2045" and systematically planned the capacity building prospects and development blueprint of the space transportation system.
At present, China has successfully developed a series of 17 long march launch vehicles that have formed the ability to deliver satellites, spacecraft and other spacecraft to any orbit of the Earth with the carrying capacity for lunar and deep space exploration.
According to the road map, China will achieve the first flight of a low-cost medium-sized launch vehicle Long March 8 by 2020 while carrying out intelligent transformation of the rocket in service. The solid / liquid rocket will provide commercial launching services such as Space Shuttle, Space Shuttle and VIP Special Vehicles .
In 2025, the successful development of reusable sub-orbital vehicles, sub-orbital space tourism to become a reality, while the rapid launch of rocket up to the hour level to support the space station, no lunar expedition task.
In 2030, heavy rocket flight for the first manned moon landing, Mars return sampling to provide support, while two completely reused successfully developed.
In 2035, the launch vehicle will be fully reusable, smart and advanced, with a new generation of rockets flying in the future.
In 2040, a combined power two-stage repeated launch vehicle was put into operation and a major breakthrough was made in the nuclear power space shuttle to support large-scale exploration and development of space resources, asteroid mining and space solar power plants.
In 2045, the combined power single-stage orbit reusable carrier was successfully developed. It is expected that the ladders, earth stations and space stations will become reality with normalized and large-scale human-computer collaboration space exploration capabilities, including solar system planets, asteroids, comets, etc.
By then, China's space transportation system will be at the leading position in the world, and its aerospace comprehensive strength ranks among the highest in the world. With its strong international competitiveness, international influence and capability of independent innovation, Aerospace Dream will be a powerful boost to the realization of the Chinese dream.
