Tiangong: China may gain a monopoly on space stations – here’s what to expect – The Conversation UK
China’s leading role in the new space race could have a positive effect on geopolitics and science alike.
China launched Tianhe-1, the first and main module of a permanent orbiting space station called Tiangong (Heavenly Palace ), on April 29. Two additional science modules (Wentian and Mengtian) will follow in 2022 in a series of missions that will complete the station and allow it to start operations.
While the station is not Chinas first the country has already launched two the modular design is new. It replicates the International Space Station (ISS), from which China was excluded.
