Summary:

Taikonaut Zhao gave us an overview of Hong Kong’s and GBA’s possible role in complementing China’s Space programme over the next few years. He built on the theme of “why not?” and suggested this is the perfect time to jump in. NewSpace is becoming a new industry for mankind. NewSpace is broad and all-encompassing, and that’s why we all need to think bigger and wider. NewSpace requires new tech, new talent, new policies, and new insights. The satellite applications market is the largest and this segment requires more capacity building. NewSpace should be more inclusive and for a more diversified humanity. We shouldn’t leave anyone behind. Hong Kong’s locational role is unique, and can help China become more international, more connected, and more innovative with proper and timely funding. Conversely, the NewSpace will also help power Hong Kong’s economy and make it much more diversified. There are five steps for Hong Kong to consider. Breakthrough the old stereotypes and barriers. Bring in talent. Enhance the rule of international space law. Attract more capital. Promote and connect startups in China to IPO. Hong Kong needs lots more talent. Need to develop many more and create a stronger pool of talent.

Speaker: Mr ZHAO Chuandong, China’s first batch of Taikonaut

About the speaker: Zhao Chuandong is a renowned figure in the field of space exploration.  He served as a fighter pilot in the PLA Air Force for 16 years.  In 1998, he became one of the first group of astronauts in China’s Shenzhou program and took part in the training for manned space missions from Shenzhou 5 to Shenzhou 10.

It is on the morning of October 26, 2023, the “Shenzhou 17” manned spacecraft carrying three Takionauts will be launched from the 921 station of the Jiuquan Satellite launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, People’s Republic of China  by the “Long March 2F” Yao 17 carrier rocket to joining up with the Crew of the Shenzhou 16 Takionaut Crew onboard the Tiangong –China Space Station, On the 25th October 2023 CNSA- China National Space Administration According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Takionaut Shenzhou 17 Crew is aiming to be launched at 11:14 on October 26th 2023.

On 31st October 2023 CNSA – China National Space Administration China’s Shenzhou-16 Taikonauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao return to Earth on October 31st 2023 onto towards Dongfeng Aerospace City- Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center- Inner Mongolia China, People’s Republic of China….. Having completed all their scheduled tasks on China’s space station. The three Takionauts handed over the control of the space station to the Shenzhou-17 crew, completing the country’s third in-orbit crew rotation. They will touch down at Dongfeng landing site in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is ready for their return.

With the development of China’s aerospace technology, the timing and technology of each Shenzhou crew return are basically fixed. ….Now, the countdown to the Shenzhou16 return landing sequence is -1 hour, and the orbital module has been depressurized! What’s the next sequence?

At 20:37 on October 30, 2023, Beijing time, the Shenzhou 16th manned spacecraft and the space station assembly were successfully separated. Before separation, the Takionaut crew of Shenzhou 16 and the astronaut crew of Shenzhou 17 carried out work handover and completed the exchange of on-orbit work experience, the transfer and installation of uplink materials and downlink samples. After separation, the Shenzhou 16 astronauts held high-definition cameras and flew around the spacecraft to complete a panoramic image of the space station assembly with the Earth as the background. Subsequently, the return capsule of the Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft will choose an opportunity to return under the control of ground commands. The astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao who are on a business trip to the China Space Station will soon embark on a journey home. I wish the astronauts and crew of Shenzhou 16 a safe journey! See you east wind! See you in Beijing!

The return capsule of the Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft successfully landed. The first manned mission in the application and development stage of the space station was a complete success

At 8:11 on October 31, 2023, Beijing time, the return capsule of the Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng Landing Field. On-site medical supervision and medical insurance personnel confirmed the health status of astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao Good, the Shenzhou 16 manned mission was a complete success.

At 7:21, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center issued a return command through the ground measurement and control station, and the orbital module of the Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft was successfully separated from the return module. After that, the spacecraft returned to brake and ignited the engine, and the return capsule separated from the propulsion module. The return capsule landed successfully. The search and rescue team responsible for the search, rescue and recovery mission found the target in time and arrived at the landing site.

The Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on May 30, 2023, and then docked with the Tianhe core module to form a combination. As the first batch of astronauts to carry out manned missions in the application and development stage of the space station, the three astronauts stayed in orbit for 154 days, during which they conducted one extravehicular activity and the fourth space teaching activity of the China Space Station. They cooperated to complete The space station’s multiple cargo missions have laid the foundation for the regular implementation of space station missions.

This mission is the first manned mission for China’s manned spaceflight project to enter the space station application and development stage. With the close cooperation of the astronaut crew and ground scientific researchers, human factors engineering, aerospace medicine, life ecology, biotechnology, Many space science experiments (experiments) such as materials science, fluid physics, and aerospace technology have made important progress in the fields of space life science and human body research, microgravity physics, and new space technologies, and have taken the manned space project from construction to Application, an important step in the transformation from input to output…

【feel good! 神州16 The Takionaut crew safely and smoothly exited the cabin]

At 9:10 on October 31, 2023, Beijing time, Shenzhou 16 Takionauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao all safely and smoothly escaped from the cabin. Good health.

So far, astronaut Jing Haipeng has successfully completed his fourth space flight. His cumulative mission time in orbit has exceeded 200 days. He is the Chinese astronaut who has performed the most missions so far. my country’s first aerospace flight engineer Zhu Yangzhu and first payload expert Gui Haichao also successfully completed their first flight, marking that all three types of astronauts in my country have completed flight assessments and practical tests, laying the foundation for the subsequent development and large-scale implementation of the project. Laying a good foundation for space science experiments

神肖六肖 Shenzhou 16 “Doctoral Crew” arrived in Beijing safely on 1600 Beijing Time The astronaut crew that successfully completed the Shenzhou 16 manned mission arrived safely in Beijing on October 31, 2023 on the mission aircraft. Leaders of the Space Station Application and Development Stage Flight Mission Headquarters came to the airport to greet them. After arriving in Beijing, the three astronauts will enter an isolation and recovery period, undergo comprehensive medical examinations and health assessments, and arrange rest.
