The carrier rocket “Queijo-11”, whose launch did not take place due to technical deviations, was the brainchild of a new private company, so its failure is understandable and quite acceptable, said the newspaper VIEW, head of the space policy Institute Ivan Moiseev.
The first launch of the Chinese carrier rocket “Queijo-11” there are technical deviations, in connection with which he was unsuccessful. At this point the problem turns out under analysis.
“In 2014, the Chinese government issued a decree to provide maximum assistance to private companies that dare to engage in the space. In particular, help in the production of light rockets. And such companies were formed much, the runs began to do it more often. And due to the fact that so many launches, and increased the total number of accidents,” says Moses.
The judge said that in recent years this direction (creating a small light rockets) and a large number of private companies spoil the overall statistics of China on outer space. However, he emphasizes that start-up companies are unsuccessful launches understandable and permissible.
“But if to assess the achievements of the Chinese in General, but recently their business is going great. They have long surpassed Russia in space and now they are competing with EU – find out who is stronger. The EU has more high-tech, advanced projects, and China takes ground. That is, the Europeans start rare and expensive, and the Chinese often”, – says Moiseev.
He recalled that in the first place in world space, the US is certainly and funding, and results and achievements. Next place five years ago was divided by Russia, Europe and China, which went quite smoothly. But our space industry is now in decline, therefore, gave its place to other countries, he said.
In may, China has announced that it has completed trials of a new experimental manned spacecraft.
