“Unlike the U.S. which started
with manually flown dockings, China is attempting
an automated docking first and
then manned dockings,” said Tim
Robinson, editor of Aerospace International. “This probablyreduces the human risk to crew, but it is also very
ambitious.”
The two spaceships rely on very high-tech equipment that
Chinese scientists will use from Earth. The ships also have sensors to detect anything close-by. The Shenzhou 8
will detach and reattach itself to the Tiangong
1 twice to make sure the mission is a completesuccess.
Chinese officials have planned two more missions for more practice. One of the two
missions will have actual people in the craft. The goal is to keep astronauts
in outer-space for at least one month. China
hopes to complete their space station between 2020
and 2022.
