"We have an innovation in co-orbiting flight, which brims with Chinese characteristics. We have designed a new platform loaded with large-scale optical equipment for astronomical observation and studies, similar to the Hubble Telescope. But this platform can fly with the space station in an co-orbiting way and dock with it when necessary. Astronauts in the station will refuel the platform to meet its high precision and stability need as well as its normal working conditions. The design has initiated an innovation in a distributive space station framework. Meanwhile it possesses Chinese characteristics."

"We engage in international cooperation with an open mind. Over the past years, we have had wide cooperation with many countries, regions and institutions in the world, including the European Space Agency, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and also a slew of institutions and organizations. When we enter the space station in the future, we will, as always, uphold the principles of communication and cooperation. For example, we can make concerted efforts in equipment research and development, carry out space experiments, share experiment facilities, or transform our experiment findings into tangible results."

Storyline


China will adopt unique designs in building a permanent space station in cooperation with the rest of the international community.

China's Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft and Tiangong-2 space lab completed their first in-orbit refueling Thursday evening, another landmark of the Tianzhou-1 mission. The State Council Information Office held a press conference to elaborate on some details of the mission and its significance for the future construction of the country's maiden space station.

Wang Zhaoyao, director of China's Manned Space Program Office, said the space station boasts unique features in size, model and a variety of other realms.

"We have an innovation in co-orbiting flight, which brims with Chinese characteristics. We have designed a new platform loaded with large-scale optical equipment for astronomical observation and studies, similar to the Hubble Telescope.

Astronauts in the station will refuel the platform to meet its high precision and stability need as well as its normal working conditions. The design has initiated an innovation in a distributive space station framework. Meanwhile it possesses Chinese characteristics," said Wang at the news conference.

He noted that China will apply state-of-the-art scientific achievements and cutting-edge information and electronic technologies to the building of a 21st-century space station. And the unprecedented development of the Internet will help connect the station with cyberspace. International cooperation is also key to its construction.

"We engage in international cooperation with an open mind.

For example, we can make concerted efforts in equipment research and development, carry out space experiments, share experiment facilities, or transform our experiment findings into tangible results," he added.

China and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) signed a cooperation agreement last year, aimed at providing China's experimental resources to the rest of the world including developing countries. The UNOOSA highly appreciates the collaboration with China. Currently the two sides are taking a series of concrete measures to push forward space development.
