New Opportunities benefit Human Space Flight on Earth, in Space and Beyond

Day: Thursday 17 October
Time: 09:00 - 10:00 CEST
Location: Auditorium, Level 3, South Wing, MiCo Convention Centre

This Plenary will mainly focus on the progress and future plan of China's scientific and utilization research regarding to human space flight.The panel will also talk about the collaboration activities within global cooperation based on microgravity facilities such as space station, spacecrafts, parabolic flight etc.

China has completed the assembly of the Tiangong Space Station in 2022, entering a new stage of operation and application. As a national space laboratory, it has comprehensive coverage of space science related disciplines, strong in-orbit support capacity, and unique advantages of human operation in-orbit. The scientific experiment racks, support system equipped inside the modules, and the exposed experiment platforms, as well as large payload mounting positions outside the modules will support thousands experiments continually.

To benefit space exploration, China has planed four main area of research on CSS, space life sciences and human research, microgravity physics, space astronomy and earth science, and new space technologies.

China welcomes global partners to join CSS and future missions in the way of cooperative research or joint payload development, as well as academic exchanges under the balance of win-win principle, to benefit the science communities and industries, and to promote the peaceful use of outer space.The first round China/United Nations Cooperation experiments on CSS are being organized and implemented as planned. New call for proposals will be periodical.
