When will China achieve space travel?

China Long March Rocket Company has put forward relevant space tourism plans, and it is expected that people will travel in space before 2024. The Research Institute of Launch Vehicle Technology of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is expected to successfully develop a reusable suborbital launch vehicle around 2025. With him, ordinary people will travel in space.

China's space travel plan is expected to be realized before 2024, that is to say, it is not far away for us to travel in space. This year is 2022, and we ordinary people will be able to travel in space in two years at the latest.

With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous progress of space technology, some foreign commercial airlines have begun to formulate space tourism projects, and in such a big environment, many domestic aviation enterprises have also decided to do space tourism projects, and China Long March Rocket Company is one of them.

According to the plan issued by China Long March Rocket Company, they will make China's first ordinary people's space tourism project by 2024, mainly short-range suborbital flight, and then it is expected to complete the formation of a long-range space tour group of 10 to 20 people in 2035 to realize long-range space travel.

According to Han Qingping, the boss of China Long March Rocket Co., Ltd., there are two kinds of spacecraft for space travel. One is a 10-ton class, which can only carry three to five people, and the space flight time is only 20 minutes. Another aircraft with a load of 100 tons can carry more passengers and fly in space for a longer time, but the cost will be higher.

According to the prediction of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation's Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, reusable suborbital launch vehicles will be successfully developed around 2025. With it, ordinary people will travel in space. I'm excited to think about it. At that time, space travel will be as simple as flying. After all, the cost will be greatly reduced after the launch vehicle can be reused, and ordinary people can also bear the corresponding expenses. At present, only astronauts can travel in space, because the launch vehicle cannot be reused, so the cost is very high. Take the first space ticket sold by Green Origin Commercial Airlines as an example, it was sold at a sky-high price of $2.8 million.

At present, there are two kinds of space travel, one is to go to the moon or the International Space Station like astronauts, and the other is suborbital flight. Judging from the current level of science and technology and the economic conditions that ordinary people can afford, suborbital space travel is more suitable for ordinary people. After all, the risk factor of going to deep space is higher, and the cost is too high. Most people certainly can't do it. China's space travel is expected to be realized around 2025.
