"If China proposes to cooperate with the space station, we will join!"
2022-04-06
On March 30 local time, two Russian astronauts and another American astronaut returned to earth on schedule in a Russian "alliance" spacecraft. According to the cgtn Press Group on the 4th, two Russian astronauts were interviewed recently and asked about China's Shenzhou 13, which will also return in the near future. In this regard, Russian astronaut Anton shkaplerov praised China's space program as "fast and good". He also expressed a positive attitude towards the international cooperation of China's space station. "If China proposes, we are willing to join." According to previous information from the China Manned Space Engineering Office, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and ye Guangfu, the second batch of astronauts who took the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft into the Tianhe core module and settled in the China space station, have successfully completed a number of scientific and technological experiments and application projects such as two extravehicular activities and two "Tiangong classroom" space teaching activities after more than 160 days of space flight, It has completed the record of continuous on orbit docking with the Chinese spacecraft through the space station and remote control for the first time. At present, the Shenzhou 13 crew is in good condition and is making preparations for returning to the ground. It is planned to embark on its return journey in mid April. At a press conference, astronaut Anton shkapplerov, a Russian colleague who recently returned to the ground first, commented on China's Shenzhou 13 manned mission. According to cgtn, shkapplerov praised China's space program as "fast and good" and believed that China's space will create more records in the future. "We human beings have rich experience in manned space, and they know how to do it." For the international cooperation with the Chinese space station, he also expressed a positive attitude, "I don't know much about their plan, but I think if China proposes (cooperation), we will join. I hope to cooperate with all institutions, whether the cooperation content is low earth orbit missions, lunar and fire exploration missions, the focus is to work together to achieve the goal, which obviously requires the efforts of more than one country or space agency." It is worth mentioning that at the press conference on the Shenzhou 12 manned mission held in June last year, a Russian reporter asked whether China would invite astronauts from Russia and other countries to perform missions on the Chinese space station. Ji Qiming, assistant director of China's manned space engineering office, replied that China and Russia have always maintained good cooperative relations in the field of manned space and believe that Chinese and foreign astronauts will jointly participate in the flight of China's space station in the near future. Four months later, Shenzhou 13 carried out the space mission. Lin Xiqiang, spokesman of China's manned space engineering and deputy director of China's manned space engineering office, also stressed at the press conference that China has always adhered to the principles of peaceful utilization, equality, mutual benefit and common development for the cause of manned space exploration. Astronauts from other countries are welcome to enter China's space station and carry out international cooperation. To talk about the cooperation between China and Russia in space projects, many netizens think of the stem in the film "wandering the earth": "unload the Russian Vodka first..." In the film "wandering the earth", the astronaut "old horse" Makarov played by Russian actor sarogratsky is a colleague and friend of Chinese astronaut "Liu Peiqiang" played by Wu Jing. He finally died to help Liu Peiqiang. Their war friendship across the country is a big tear in the film. When he went into space, Ma stole a bottle of vodka in violation of regulations, but this bottle of wine finally saved the earth. In a hurry, Liu Peiqiang used it to destroy the artificial intelligence "moss" who wanted to perform the defection procedure. However, at present, Russian aerospace is facing the severe situation of the breakdown of cooperative relations with the West. Western countries led by the United States have launched rounds of punitive sanctions against Russia on the grounds of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which also affects the cooperative partnership between the two sides in space projects. According to Russian media "Russia today" (RT), on this basis, the Russian Federal Space Agency still took "the safety of members of the international space station is the most important priority" as the principle, and finally sent the American astronauts back to earth safely on the return mission on March 30. Since then, Rogozin, President of the Russian National Space Company, announced on the 3rd that "for moral and ethical reasons", the company has stopped joint projects with western countries, and they will not cooperate with countries that provide weapons and political support to the Ukrainian authorities.
