上彭博网看了下,今天有一篇最新的文章,China Offers Cash to Rocket Startupsin Hunt for Its Own SpaceX,中文翻译为:中国向火箭初创公司提供现金,以寻找自己的Space X
这个跟今天上海某卫星公司的传闻是符合的,不是空穴来风。
The CMSA has received proposals to use privately developed rockets for cargo transport trips to the Chinese space station, deputy director Lin Xiqiang said at a press briefing on Oct. 25, a day before the launch of Shenzhou 17, which sent a new three-astronaut team to Tiangong.
“Through the open bidding, we are pleased to see that China’s private commercial space companies are developing rapidly and growing rapidly, and their enthusiasm to participate in manned space missions is also high,” he said.
The CMSA hasn’t yet disclosed the size or value of contracts it could award to private-sector firms.
By offering the chance to win missions from the space agency, China is pursuing a strategy used by NASA with Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
