China's Space Program Thread II

- Start date
Looks like landspace still has the chance to be the first methane rocket to reach orbit, with the failure of terran 1
Sometimes it pays to look at the preceding page on a thread before posting.

US tech rules bar UAE moon rover from China’s Chang’e 7 mission
No matter, just strip out the US components and replace those with Chinese ones.
2018 paper "Analysis of different landing mode based on space stations"Interesting captioning from an interview. When asked what he wishes for China's space program, an employee from the China Academy of Space Technology says he would like to see a space station in the lunar orbit to go with the existing Chinese space station. Interesting idea, but is this a thing? I haven't encountered any mention of a possible lunar orbital station. Does anyone have any information on this possible endeavor, if it exists?
I made this exact suggestion as a use for the spare core module not long ago.Interesting captioning from an interview.

A system for controlled recovery of boosters and payload fairings using parafoils/parachutes may soon be implemented. If planned tests (this year and the next) are successful, the recovery system will be put into formal use and mitigate the dangers of falling launch debris. Using parafoils and regular parachutes, the recovery system guides the spent boosters and fairings to land on air cushions located at pre-determined landing zones. The system is capable of recovering 4-ton boosters as well as fairings with diameters up to 4.2 meters.

The Sino-French project has reached the final assembly and integration stage. A French team have arrived at the China Micro-satellite Innovation Institute to participate in the final assembly of the satellites, which will be used to study gamma-ray bursts from supernovas.
