ISS – China Says Yes (3/4)China wants to cooperate—especially on the ISS David, Insider Columnist, 11 (Leonard, space.com, “China Ambitious Space Station Goals”, March 7, http://www.space.com/11048-china-space-station-plans-details.html) PG Regarding space cooperation, Jiang said China intends to strengthen exchanges with other countries in the field of space science research and applications. He explained that the rendezvous and docking project hardware is compatible with the International Space Station. “We will adhere to the policy of opening up to the outside world,” Jiang emphasized. “We think some space scientific experiment items will be collected and selected from countries of the world which will promote international exchanges and cooperation. Scientists of all countries are welcome to participate in space science experimental research on China’s space station.” Jiang also spotlighted Wang Yue, an instructor at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center. Wang is one of the six crew members for the Mars-500 international experiment now under way in Moscow — a simulated Red Planet expedition testing the human physical and psychological strains on a 500-day journey to Mars. [Note - *Jiang Guohua, a professor and chief engineer at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center in Beijing] China wants to join the ISS Sato, science and health researcher, 07 (Rebecca, The Daily Galaxy, “Will China Join the International Space Station?” 8-19, http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/10/will-china-boar.html, 6-30-11, GJV) China is hoping to join an international space station project, a government official announced recently. he International Space Station (ISS) was launched on November 20, 1998 to begin its first 92-minute trip around the Earth. The first permanent crew of astronauts arrived on the ISS on November 2, 2000. Since then, there have always been at least two people on board. So far, the astronauts residing on the space station have been American or Russian. China wants to join the ISS in the future Sato, science and health researcher, 07 (Rebecca, The Daily Galaxy, “Will China Join the International Space Station?” 8-19, http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/10/will-china-boar.html, 6-30-11, GJV) China is looking to expand its reach into space. Among other reasons, the country sees it as a way to validate claims of being a world leader in the realm of science. Currently, China does not participate in the International Space Station, mostly due to US pressure to keep the communist dictatorship out. Earlier this week, state-run newspapers said China will launch its first lunar probe later this month, only weeks after rival Japan successfully sent their own lunar satellite into orbit. "We hope to take part in activities related to the international space station," Li Xueyong, a vice minister of science and technology. "If I am not mistaken, this program has 16 countries currently involved and we hope to be the 17th partner." A reporter had asked whether China in the future would be competing or cooperating with America in space. Li said China wanted to cooperate with the United States, but would not give any specifics. Back in 2003, China launched its first manned space mission, making it the third country to send a human into orbit on its own, after Russia and the United States. But China caused grevious concern and alarm amid the international community earlier this year when thet blasted an old satellite into fragments with a land-based anti-satellite missile. It was the first such test ever conducted by any nation. The missile testing was widely criticized for its military implications. A similar rocket could be used to shoot military satellites out of space. It could also create a dangerous maze of space debris. ISS – China Says Yes (4/4)China is interested in joining the ISS Whitesides, Astrobiologist, 07 (Loretta Hildago, Wired Science, “China Wants to Partner on the International Space Station,” 8-18, http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/10/china-wants-t-1/, 6-30-11, GJV) Li Xueyong, a vice minister of science and technology, said Tuesday: "We hope to take part in activities related to the international space station. If I am not mistaken, this program has 16 countries currently involved and we hope to be the 17th partner." According to the story, a reporter had asked Xueyong whether China would be more likely to compete or cooperate with America in space. He replied that China wanted to cooperate with the United States. Given the tensions in the air at the moment especially in the wake of the Chinese anti-satellite test, it is a critical time for the United States to begin to engage its fellow space faring nation. It is also important for China to take responsibility for creating a cloud of debris that threatens any nations space operations. China wants to join the ISS Radar Daily Staff, 07 (RadarDaily, “China Hopes To Join International Space Station Project,” 8-17, http://www.radardaily.com/reports/China_Hopes_To_Join_International_Space_Station_Project_999.html, 6-30-11, GJV) China hopes to become the 17th nation joining the International Space Station (ISS) project, Vice Minister of Science and Technology Li Xueyong said on Tuesday. "China sincerely wants to cooperate with the United States in spaceexploration and join the International Space Station project that has already involved 16 nations," said Li, a delegate to the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), on the sidelines of the event. The Chinese government has been pursuing a policy of peaceful use of airspace, Li said. The International Space Station is a joint project of 16 nations including the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, Brazil and 11 countries from the European Space Agency. The station's first segment, the Zarya control module, was brought to orbit by a Russian Proton rocket in November 1998 to provide the infant station's battery power and fuel storage. The station is located in orbit around the Earth at an altitude of approximately 360 kilometers, a type of orbit usually termed as low Earthorbit. Due to the ISS, there is a permanent human presence in space, as there have always been at least two people on board the station since the first crew entered it on Nov. 2, 2000. China will soon launch its first circumlunar satellite as part of its ambitious moon exploration program enters the stage of implementation. Development of the satellite, called Chang'e I after the legendary Chinese goddess Chang'e who flew to the moon, and the carrier Long March 3A has been completed after numerous tests.
