China becoming increasingly capable of space development

RAND, nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis, 2011, National Security Research Division, “Ready for Takeoff: China’s Advancing Aerospace Industry”, http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2011/RAND_MG1100.pdf
China has made significant progress in advancing its space capabilities over the past decade and is making concerted efforts to further expand them. All relevant metrics reveal an accelerating growth trend in the country’s civilian and military space program development. In 83 known spacecraft launches between October 20, 1996, and June 15, 2010, Chinese launch vehicles experienced only one failure—an incomplete burn of a third stage that resulted in an Indonesian communications satellite being put in the wrong orbit in August 2009 (“Long March [Chang Zheng],” 2010). The 83 launches included three successful launches of manned spacecraft, the most recent of which, in September 2008, involved a spacewalk, and two lunar orbiters (“Shenzhou Series,” 2009; “Chang’e Series,” 2010). China’s government is trying to promote China’s growth as a provider of commercial space products and services. In the 1990s, China emerged as a major provider of commercial launch services with its Chang Zheng (“Long March”) series of launch vehicles. From 1990 to 1999, Chinese rockets launched nearly 30 satellites for customers based outside of mainland China. In the late 1990s, however, several Chang Zheng launches failed, and it was revealed that U.S. satellite companies had provided technical assistance to Chinese launch-vehicle-makers (who also make missiles for the Chinese military and for export), resulting in tightened U.S. restrictions on China launching satellites that contain U.S. technology. As a consequence, only a handful of launches have been conducted for customers based outside of mainland China since 1999 (“Long March [Chang Zheng],” 2010). Recently, however, China has developed a domestically designed communications satellite, the European company EADS Astrium has developed a communications satellite that contains no U.S. technology, and as noted above, Chinese launch vehicles have established a remarkable record for reliability since 1996. As a result, the appeal of Chinese space products and services in markets outside the United States is probably increasing. China’s 11th Five-Year Plan, which ended in 2010, called for the greater integration of market mechanisms into the space program to foster competition and to generate products and services that could earn China a larger share of the global commercial space-systems market (“Aerospace Development 11th 5-Year Plan”)

China is forging ahead in space exploration

Associated Press, 7/12/11, “China’s space program targets moon”, http://articles.boston.com/2011-07-12/news/29765708_1_china-plans-chinese-space-station-space-leadership
This year, a rocket will carry a boxcar-size module into orbit, the first building block for a Chinese space station. Around 2013, China plans to launch a lunar probe that will set a rover loose on the moon. It wants to put a man on the moon sometime after 2020. While the United States is still working out its next move after the space shuttle program, China is forging ahead. Some analysts worry that the United States could slip behind China in human spaceflight - the realm of space science with the most prestige.
China’s independently advancing in space technology

RAND, nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis, 2011, National Security Research Division, “Ready for Takeoff: China’s Advancing Aerospace Industry”, http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2011/RAND_MG1100.pdf
Foreign involvement in China’s space industry is significantly less than in the aviation manufacturing industry. China is not closely integrated into the supply chains of foreign space companies, and the market for Chinese products and services such as space launches and satellites is small. Although China’s space launch vehicles were originally based on ballistic-missile technology transferred from the Soviet Union, China has advanced far beyond that technology through its own efforts, and foreign assistance has been limited. Chinese space companies have received technical assistance from foreign entities in some specific areas, such as Russian assistance in the area of manned space-flight, Brazilian assistance in the development of earth-observation satellites, German assistance in the development of communications satellites, and U.S. assistance in launch-vehicle technology. In most cases, however, the advancement of China’s space technology has been the result of purely domestic efforts.
China planning to efficiently further develop space

A separate policy document, the “National Guidance for Medium- and Long-Term Plans for Science and Technology Development (2006–2020),” outlines further goals for the Chinese aerospace industry. Objectives listed in the document include developing nontoxic, pollution-free, high-performance, low-cost, powerful-thrust launch vehicles capable of carrying 25-ton payloads into low earth orbit (LEO) and 14-ton payloads into geostationary orbit (GEO)1; developing a 120-ton-thrust liquid-oxygen/kerosene engine and a 50-tonthrust hydrogen-oxygen engine; improving and developing remote sensing satellites and associated ground stations; further developing communications- and broadcast-satellite technologies; pushing toward commercialization of communications- and broadcast-satellite services; increasing the number and quality of space technology experiments; and developing a deep space telescope (“China’s Space Activities in 2006,” 2006).

China is becoming increasingly capable with space development

China’s space capabilities are growing, and their kinetic ASAT systems are advancing in lockstep. In 2008, China conducted 11 space launches that put a combined 15 satellites into orbit, and the country is in the process of developing more highly advanced rockets that could deliver greater payloads to a wider variety of orbits. The 2009 edition of the annual Pentagon report on the Military Power of the People’s Republic of China noted that once the ongoing developments of China’s Long March V rocket are complete, they will “more than double” the size of the payloads that China can deliver into low-earth and geosynchronous orbits.11 In addition to new launch vehicles and expanding launch capabilities, China is also developing improved long-range ballistic missiles capable of delivering ASAT payloads into geosynchronous orbits. These new missiles might be capable of directly attacking satellites in a geosynchronous orbit, effectively giving the Chinese military the capability to use direct-ascent methods on satellites operating at any altitude.12 At present, China’s ability to strike at targets in geosynchronous orbits is somewhat limited, as it only possesses the facilities to launch simultaneously four rockets capable of reaching satellites at that altitude.13
China moving forward with space capabilities

The Washington Times, 1/8/10, “China Space Program Shoots for Moon”, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jan/8/china-eyes-high-ground/
The Pentagon is clearly alarmed by the prospect. The chief of U.S. Strategic Command, Gen. Kevin Chilton, told reporters Nov. 3, “With regard to China’s [space] capabilities, I think anyone who’s familiar with this business … would have to be absolutely amazed at the advancement that China has made in such a short period of time, whether that be in their unmanned program or the manned program.” Senior Chinese space officials have told their state media that China could be on the moon by 2022 at the outside. Other authoritative Chinese space engineers see a moon landing as a next step in the Tiangong program that will launch three Chinese space stations into Earth orbit between 2011 and 2015. In 2008, NASA scientists told the Bush White House that, with the technology currently available to the Chinese space program, Chinese cosmonauts could be on the moon by 2017. NASA sees China’s strategy for a manned lunar landing as launch vehicle intensive. While America’s notional Constellation moon project centers on a single - and still unbuilt - Ares-V “superheavy” lift booster for a direct ascent to the moon and two “lunar orbit rendezvous” operations, China will likely opt for two complex “Earth orbit rendezvous” maneuvers.

China space program growing and plans are long term

Xinhua, 4/15/11, “Argentine Expert Praises China's Space Program”, http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-04/15/c_13830084.htm
China's space program has made a giant leap forward with successful manned flights and a space walk, President of the Argentine Association for Space Technology (AATE) Pablo De Leon said Thursday. China is part of a select group of nations, together with the United States and Russia, which has had a progressive growth of its program to conquer space," De Leon told Xinhua. De Leon, also an aerospace engineer and a NASA team member, said that China was likely to build a base on the moon in the coming years. "China's advantage, compared to other countries, is that its plans and programs for space are long-term. It is the right thing, because all these cases are complex projects that require a long execution," De Leon said. Last week, Li Baodong, the Chinese permanent representative to the United Nations, said China is committed to all treaties on outer space, as well as to exploring and using outer space for the benefit of mankind. China's manned space project, launched in 1999, has made seven flights, sent six astronauts into space on three occasions and performed a space walk, Li said.

China Making plans for deep space exploration

Associated Press, 7/12/11, “China’s space program targets moon”, http://articles.boston.com/2011-07-12/news/29765708_1_china-plans-chinese-space-station-space-leadership
China, having orbited the moon and starting collecting data on it, is moving toward sending a human there — and beyond. It hopes to launch the rover-releasing moon probe in about two years. Chinese experts believe a moon landing will happen in 2025 at the earliest. "The lunar probe is the starting point for deep-space exploration," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's moon-exploring program, in a 2010 interview posted on the national space agency's website. "We first need to do a good job of exploring the moon and work out the rocket, transportation and detection technology that can then be used for a future exploration of Mars or Venus." In testimony in May to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which reports to the U.S. Congress, former NASA official Pace said what China learns in its space program can be applied elsewhere: improving the accuracy of ballistic missiles and quality controls for industry. China also offers space technology to developing countries to secure access to raw materials, said Pace, now director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University. There may also be economic reasons to explore the moon: It contains minerals and helium-3, a potential rich source of energy through nuclear fusion. "But that's way ahead," said Bond, the Jane's editor. "A lot of it would be prestige, the fact that every time we went out and looked at the moon in the night sky we would say the Chinese flag is on there."
China aims to compete in space

Vincent Sabathier, senior associate with the Center for Strategic and International Studies Technology and Public Policy Program and the senior adviser to the SAFRAN group and consults internationally on aerospace and telecommunications, G. Ryan Faith, Adjunct Fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, 5/17/11, “The Global Impact of the Chinese Space Program”, http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/8878/the-global-impact-of-the-chinese-space-program


Although China has relied on cooperation in the past to develop its space capabilities, it is increasingly willing to go it alone, proceeding slowly and steadily in a "long march" fashion. China might cooperate on space activities to accelerate a particular program or to gain prestige and recognition along the way, but ultimately its aim is to become a global competitor in space. Over time, Chinese policymakers have studied, analyzed and understood both the successes and failures of the U.S.-Soviet space race as well as the benefits China can derive from space. One such benefit, increased national pride, is more important in China than in any other current major spacefaring power -- with the possible exceptions of India and Russia -- because it helps unify the country during periods of great stress and transformation. In addition to showing considerable signs of determination and an enormous ambition, China has the resources needed to comprehensively develop its space assets in all areas. This will eventually allow China to compete across the board, around the globe and throughout space. China will probably catch up with European commercial space assets and policies before 2020. Its navigation system, Beidou, will be operational before its European counterpart, Galileo, and the Long March 5 family of launch vehicles, slated for use starting in 2014, will outperform Ariane 5 and its foreseen successors. China will subsequently land a "taikonaut" on the moon in the middle of the next decade, at roughly the same time that China's GDP is projected to exceed that of the U.S. -- a subtle soft-power means of highlighting China's growing influence.


China Can Do Space Generally
China on track with space plans

Gregory Kulacki, Senior Analyst and China Project Manager in the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists and expert on cross-cultural communication between the United States and China, 11/4/10, World Politics Review, “What is the status of China's space program?”, http://www.china-defense-mashup.com/global-insider-chinas-space-program.html


China is more or less on schedule with their plans to complete a permanently occupied space station by 2020. The plan was first formulated in the mid-1980s and funded in the early 1990s. China is also on schedule to complete their robotic lunar exploration program, which aims to survey the lunar surface with orbiters, land a rover on the surface to collect and analyze samples, and eventually send a lander to collect lunar samples and return them to earth. The robotic lunar program was approved in the late-1990s and is scheduled to be completed by 2020. In addition to these two high-profile programs, China is building their own national positioning and timing satellite constellation, known as Compass, and is making steady improvements in their communications and earth-observation satellite constellations. According to the UCS satellite database, available online here, China now has 60 functioning satellites in orbit. Chinese press reports indicate that number could rise to 100 in the next several years.
China’s financial might show promise in space program

Tim Edwards, Managing Editor, The First Post at Dennis Publishing, 2/7/10, Has Obama just handed the moon to China?, http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/59356,news-comment,news-politics,has-obama-just-handed-the-moon-to-china-conquer-military


The Chinese space programme gets by on around $1.3bn per year - compared to Nasa's $17.6bn - but it is already proving an embarrassment to America. With a little more of China's undoubted financial might behind it, it could deliver a lunar base some time in the 2020s. China is adamant any such base would be open to scientists from around the world. But would the Americans be able to swallow their pride and send scientists to a Chinese moon base? Two months after China's satellite target practice, the former chief administrator of Nasa, Michael Griffin, testified to the US Senate: "The moon is very visible and any proposition by another country to set up a permanent presence there would be unacceptable to the Americans." More recently, the messages coming from China have been mixed. Air force commander Xu Qiliang told the People's Liberation Army Daily in November 2009: "As far as the revolution in military affairs is concerned, the competition between military forces is moving towards outer space… this is a historical inevitability and a development that cannot be turned back."
China will overtake US in space exploration

Beijing Hour, live news and current affairs programme with Chinese as well as international news from around the world, 3/3/11, “Chinese Space Program Promising: Expert”, http://english.cri.cn/6909/2011/03/03/45s623819.htm
If the first space docking goes well, the Shenzhou-8 will probably be carrying astronauts for manned space docking procedures, a move that has been widely recognized as one of the key technologies necessary to build a space station. Tim O'Mahony, Communications Manager at Kexue Communications, told CRI that the space docking will lay the ground for further space research for China."This should be the new version of space station", O'Mahony said. "They will use the space station mainly to do research on different things that will help us on earth, but also look at the effects of radiation and long-term space exposure. So they can plan a mission to Mars." The space docking marks a great improvement of China's manned-space technology, and also an important step of the country's long-range space program. In 2003, China became the third country to independently launch an astronaut. The country took its first space walk in 2008. Following the planned launch of its first Mars probe in 2013, China aims to build its own manned space station around 2020, and then to send astronauts to the moon in 2025. meanwhile, the nation has further stepped up international cooperation for manned space programs. China's Wang Yue has participated in the simulated Mars mission in Moscow. Wang, the only Chinese in the six-man crew, will spend 520 days in a mockup spacecraft to test one of the unknowns of deep space travel. Compared with space powerhouses like the United States and Russia, O'Mahony said he is looking forward to a bright future for China's space program. "It will probably overtake the US in a number of years, maybe a few decades," said O'Mahony. "They are one of the few countries that are increasing their investment in a space program. I could see them being one of the first countries to travel to Mars, and to a lunar base. They're also looking at mining on the moon. The US government has just recently canned a lot of their programs. So the Chinese space program looks promising.

China plans to bridge the gap with western countries

AFP, 9/17/10, “China says will push space programme to catch up West”, http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.d250ad11b26dc10b20fcd37105b9e552.71
China said Thursday its rapidly growing space programme was the crowning achievement of the nation's high-tech transformation and pledged to continue to develop it to close the gap with Western countries. "I believe a space programme represents a country's high technology and I believe China has already become a major country in high technology," Vice Minister of Science and Technology Li Xueyong told reporters. "Our success shows not only the progress of the space programme but also our overall level of science and technology," he said at a press briefing. Li said China will invest 35 billion dollars in high-tech development this year, despite a budget squeeze due to an economic slowdown and massive government spending aimed at stimulating the economy. He provided no comparative figures, but data on his ministry's website showed the government spent 37 billion dollars in 2008, suggesting a slight decline this year. Still, Li noted that China's spending on science and technology has grown 40-fold since 1978, when the nation began to liberalise its formerly state-planned economy, ushering in three decades of dramatic growth. The rapid economic development has allowed China to pour money into developing its high-tech abilities, and the country has notched a number of signature achievements. China has carried out three manned space missions, including a spacewalk, and put a lunar orbiter in space. Li said the programme would be even further expanded in future.
