“We hope that more space experiment results can be used on the earth. Therefore, we are mainly conducting experiments related to life sciences and biotechnology, as well as materials technology, with a particular emphasis on research directions closely related to people’s daily lives. For example, in the field of life sciences, we study the effects of microgravity on bones, muscles, nerves, and cells. We have found that osteoporosis in humans is similar to bone loss that occurs in space. we are looking into discovering some special patterns in space in order to develop effective drugs in this regard.”

6. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Li Yingliang, Director of Overall Technology Division, China Manned Space Engineering Office:
“Our subsequent manned spaceflight will target longer duration manned missions such as Mars exploration, as well as missions such as lunar residency. We will conduct advance verification of these long-term stays in the space station. I believe that in the near future, the Chinese space station will promote a long-term stay of more than six months.“

“The realization of manned lunar landing will help the establishment of a lunar base which is currently still a long-term plan and the timing (for lunar base) is still under study.”

“China’s manned spaceflight program has always adhered to the principle of peaceful use of space and has no other purpose. In the future, we will develop more technological cooperation and sharing with other countries in this area. So I believe your concerns are unnecessary.“

STORYLINE:
China is ready to send the latest crewed mission to its orbiting space station, another step in its project to become a major power in space within coming decades.
The Shenzhou-19 spaceship with its three-person crew is due to blast into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 4:27am early on Wednesday morning.
Hours before the launching, a Chinese space expert told reporters that research and experiments carried out in the space station will focus on science and technologies.
“We hope that more space experiment results can be used on the earth,” said Zhang Wei, a scientist of space utilization with Chinese Academy of Sciences.
“We are mainly conducting experiments related to life sciences and biotechnology, as well as materials technology, with a particular emphasis on research directions closely related to people’s daily lives,” he said.
Besides putting a space station into orbit, China’s space agency has landed an explorer on Mars.
It aims to put a person on the moon before 2030, which would make China the second nation after the United States to do so.
It also plans to build a research station on the moon.
