The main Russian space agency Roskosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences started negotiations with the representatives of Chinese organizations – Cosmonaut Training Center of China (CPC PRC) and Chinese state-owned corporation “Great Wall”. The main goal – cooperation in the field of manned space flight with the possibility of landing on the moon.
In Moscow as a member of the Chinese delegation arrived just three senior officials – Deputy General Designer of the CPC Huang Veyfen, Liu and Li Veybo Inhuey. Russian Roscosmos provide guidance, Cosmonaut Training Center Gagarin and the Institute of Biomedical Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. As one of the workers Cosmonaut Training Center, to discuss cooperation made in several areas, including, Chinese taikonaut preparation for long flights to joint missions beyond low Earth orbit .
” Roscosmos is talks with Chinese partners, including on the lunar and manned programs . While talk about any specifics sooner “- quoted by the newspaper” Izvestia “Russian Space Agency spokesman Igor Burenkova.
In Roskosmos not hide that they would like to carry out long-term large-scale projects for space exploration in partnership with other states. In this sense, China is seen a potential alternative to the US , which is the main partner of Russia in the International Space Station (ISS). However, in the past year amid worsening situation in Ukraine the US space agency NASA has decided to impose sanctions in respect of the Russian Space Agency, which is not affected only the ISS. In all other cases, employees NASA even prohibit contact with their Russian counterparts.
The Chinese, on the other hand, with regard to the Russian Space Agency are friendly, in particular, they were sent to Roskosmos proposal to hold a series of joint projects on the ISS. In particular it was about research involving prolonged exposure of the Chinese specialist aboard the station. The attempt to realize the idea of this magnitude may encounter opposition from the United States – at the time the Americans objected to China’s participation in the ISS project. However, Russia, which is currently a monopoly to deliver astronauts to the ISS, it can not listen to the voice of the ocean.
It should be noted that relations between Russia and China in the field of space began to develop rapidly in the last year especially after the introduction of a number of countries technological sanctions against Russia’s defense and space industries. Vacated niche foreign suppliers have expressed a desire to take the Chinese manufacturers. According to experts, the Russian experience in the field of space flight is very interested in China. However, there is important strategic approach, for example, you can try to negotiate with China on the joint construction of the space station or on cooperation in terms of development of the Moon.
