China has established an in -depth migration research center here on Earth to support the development of national development plans for moon and earth missionaries.
The Tiandu plant will lead science, technology and engineering research related to deep space research projects, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA). Small details of the project were revealed, but CNSA said it would support the lab to develop basic science research institutes.
Zhang Kejian, head of CNSA, reported the Chinese government ban the future construction will support lunar missionsChina’s global Earthquake Research Station, the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) and plans for space asteroid Defense system.

Tiandu is expected to promote earth sciences and community projects. China has entered into relations with Europe, and Russia hopes to attract government, trade and science partners for the IRLS, a China-Russia joint venture. plan to build a moon base by 2030.
“The plant is open to the world; it’s a vast space,” Wu Weiren, chief developer of China’s lunar research project, told Chinese media in March. “We hope to attract global talent to work in the lab.”
The Tiandu factory is located in Hefei, the capital of China’s Anhui Province, and was established in February. It was co -founded by the CNSA, the government of Anhui Province and the Chinese University of Science and Technology. It will have a branch in Beijing.
The development follows some of the key elements of China’s quest and seeks to support a comprehensive plan of making China a more liberal power. For example, in 2020, China will launch its first independent interplanetary action, the Tianwen 1 Mars missionaries, and harvested the first samples from the moon more than 40 years ago See 5 missionaries.
The next steps, that is which was explained in January, to be supported by the new facility. The upcoming lunar missions in China are Chang’e 6 a return-to-return model and the large-spacecraft Change 7 project, both of which will capture the left pole of the moon and begin around 2024. Another mission, Change 8, is focusing on the use of In-situ resources and technology experiments, including 3D printing. , and is expected to begin before the end of ten years.
There are national planning programs in the country Mars example return efforts around 2030, a missionary to send a survey to Jupiter System, a mission to do both return asteroid samples and study a comet nearby, and a missionary to launch a second set of planes at the edges of the solar system.
Last year, China also hosted its first global defense conference, with presentations on related studies, technology and engineering.
