Elon Musk just exposed China's space nuclear reactor that will shock NASA
the benefits of improving space capabilities are numerous satellites make military and civilian
Communications easier human space flight earns International Acclaim while also allowing for
cutting-edge research experiments in space have yielded numerous breakthroughs that have been
applied to Medical environmental and technological issues on Earth according to Elon Musk a Chinese
nuclear reactor designed to provide Power and propulsion in space has passed a comprehensive
performance assessment let's find out hello everyone and welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution
where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multi-billion dollar companies
but before we begin make sure you subscribe to our Channel and click the Bell icon so you don't miss
out on any of our amazing videos and let's begin over 80 countries have space programs that range
from the development of dual-use satellite still lunar exploration only three of these countries
have sent humans into space on their own human spaceflight was achieved by the former Soviet
Union and the United States to 1961 against the backdrop of the Cold War Space Race with
the launch of Lieutenant Colonel Yang leeway into Earth orbit on the shinchou 5 or Divine
ship 5 in 2003 China joined this Elite group four decades later Yang orbited the Earth 14 times in
a 21 and a half hour period in the early stages of Mankind's history the Chinese Nation created
a glorious civilization the ancient Chinese invented the gunpowder rocket which was the
precursor to Modern space Rockets following the establishment of the People's Republic of China
in 1949 China pursued space activities on its own eventually developing and launching its first
man-made satellite in 1970. China's made notable advancements and outranks among the world's most
advanced countries in some critical areas of space technology in the 21st century China will continue
to promote the development of its space industry in light of its National situation and will make
appropriate contributions to the peaceful use of outer space as well as to humanity civilization
and progress China space program has gone through several important stages of development since its
Inception in 1956 including arduous pioneering overall development in all related fields reform
and revitalization and international cooperation it has now reached a significant scale and level
a comprehensive research design manufacturing and testing program has been established there
are space centers capable of launching various types of satellites in manned spacecraft as well
as a ttnc or Telemetry tracking and command Network comprised of ground stations across
the country and tracking and Telemetry ships a number of satellite application systems have
been established resulting in significant social and economic benefits a fairly high level space
science research system has been established and many Innovative accomplishments have been
made Anna Cadre of qualified space scientists and technicians has emerged under distinct National
and historical circumstances China space industry arose from a lack of infrastructure
and a relatively backward scientific and technological level China has opened a road
to development unique to its National situation in the process of carrying out space activities
independently scoring a series of significant achievements with relatively small inputs and
in a relatively short period of time China now ranks among the most advanced countries and many
important technological Fields including satellite recovery multi-satellite launch
with a single rocket cryogenic Rockets strap-on Rockets geostationary satellite launch and ttnc
significant progress has also been made in the development and application of remote sensing
and Telecommunications satellites as well as manned spacecraft testing and space microgravity
experiments and just recently according to musk a Chinese nuclear reactor designed to provide
energy and propulsion in space has successfully completed a thorough performance assessment the
Chinese Academy of Sciences designed the reactor which can produce one megawatt of electricity
for propulsion and power supply and spacecraft according to Science and Technology daily and
other Chinese media the project was approved following a thorough performance examination
by China's Ministry of Science and Technology on August 25th although the web reports of many
Publications have since been removed Cash Aid and archived copies are still available these studies
contain no proposals for using the nuclear power system or technical information for robotic trips
to the outer planets which receive very little energy from the Sun nuclear fission devices
provide high levels of power and electricity propulsion rendering solar power generation
worthless for crude missions they can also Supply electricity on planetary surfaces musk stated
the project was launched in 2019 as a national key research and development program demonstrating
China's strong interest in developing nuclear power for space applications last year the
South China Morning Post reported that a prototype design had been completed and some components had
been constructed woo we are in director of China's newly established tiendu deep space exploration
laboratory called for breakthroughs in nuclear power for space in 2019 to meet future Mission
requirements musk explain the voyager-like mission which would send two spacecraft toward the nose
and tail of the heliosphere and maybe a third perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic or
among the Chinese suggestions for civil nuclear space reactor-powered missions there's also a
published concept for a Neptune Orbiter mission that uses nuclear-powered electric propulsion
according to musk China has successfully developed cryogenic Rockets to support lunar Mars and space
station projects in recent years strengthening its space transportation and deep space capabilities
reusable launchers Superhead heavy lift rockets and a two-stage to orbit reusable space plane
system are currently being developed the Department of Defense DARPA and NASA are
all developing designs for nuclear-powered spacecraft as the United States advances
its nuclear spacecraft plans on the other hand Elon Musk stated that by constructing a massive
modular space station China hopes to increase its potential for scientific and Technical Innovation
Chinese leaders also expect research on the Chinese space station to help them achieve
their long-term space exploration objectives which include lunar and Martian Expeditions
the creation of the Tian gong or Heavenly Palace space Labs which served as essential test beds for
acquiring the technical know-how necessary to operate the CSS was a key component of
project 921 Chinese astronauts or taikanots were able to conduct brief space excursions
and rehearse Rendezvous and docking procedures thanks to the 8.5 metric ton Tian gong 1 which
was launched in September 2011 and March of 22 16 China lost contact with the spacecraft and
on April 2nd 2018 the Tian gong one slammed into the atmosphere and crashed dispersing
debris over the South Pacific Chinese Engineers used the Tian gong one's lessons to improve the
design of its successor that Tian gong II which debuted in September 2016. the Tian gong 2 had
a greater capacity for scientific experimentation and thus was described by Wu Bing as a laboratory
in the true sense of the word according to China's 2016 white paper on Space activities
the Tian gong II provided a platform for China to master key capabilities required for operating a
permanent space station such as cargo transport and replenishment over the last few decades
high-level political and financial support for China space program has grown in its most recent
white paper on Space activities the Chinese government stated that China should be built
into a space power to all respects and to use its Space Program to boost its overall strength
furthermore the Chinese government sees manned space flight as a means of gaining International
Prestige and boosting national pride I think that's going to do it for today guys we sincerely
