A New Space Station In Orbit | How China Plans To Compete With The ISS

A mesmerizing glow in our night’s sky, The ISS has become the crown jewel of space research. But as we reach into the stars, and our sense of wonder broadens, the reality of human conflict follows us forward. For the past 25 years, China has been barred from access to the ISS and it’s over 3000 experiments, due to geopolitical concerns raised by The United States. But now, China has an answer. It’s new space station, the Tiangong, is finally nearing completion. And with it... comes over 1,000 advanced experiments of their own, a futuristic layout, and a promise to give the ISS a run for it’s money.

Small correction: Japan *did* in fact get an invite to research on the station.

Chinese are a hardworking community they deserve success. success belongs to only those who strive to work hard and achieve. Success doesn't see religion, race or Nationality.
All the best from an Indian.

CSS is different from ISS in many ways. CSS is not just a scientist research station but also a low orbit work station to service and launch objects in space. The last module has an object launch chamber, westerners call it weapon release chamber like a bomber, lol. So satellites can be repaired or new released. There will be a telescope launch in 2023 to fly next to CSS and dock when upgrade is needed. CSS in current form can house six persons and even the weight is only 25% of ISS but the space inside is about 55% of ISS and generates same amount of electricity as ISS. CSS uses ion thruster to navigate so it consumes less fuel than ISS. there are 17 countries will participate CSS including Japan Korea Middle East and Africa countries. US applied but China refused to convert the indigenous operating system from Chinese to English, american doesn’t want to learn Chinese, can’t go.

The interior space of ISS is 912 square meters and CSS is 900 square meters, the major extra weight of ISS are solar panels, racks and fuel.

As an Indian I am always amazed with China's efficient designs 👍👍

[DigitalDesignET]

First of all, they should stop calling it ISS, it's anything but international.

Why do we need to look at this from a western perspective, 'competition'. The Chinese are not competing with anyone. They are just doing this for the betterment of societies and themselves, whereas the western world only wishes to benefit themselves and enslaves those that they can reap benefits off. What has 250 years of colonisation brought India, South America and Africa, abject poverty. Now these regions are getting an opportunity to do something that could benefit themselves, with China's help. As for Japan and US or ESA joing the space program in China, I think we have to be very careful, as an unknown failure or accident could well happen once they left the facilities.

China has been seeking cooperation, but the United States has so far pursued a policy of technological blockade against most countries, including China.
China was forced to independently develop its own space station, satellite navigation system, moon landing scientific research and deep space exploration technology by the selfish behavior of the United States. Although it is difficult, it does master the development technology and equipment research and development of comprehensive independent control for China Accumulate a very solid foundation and a strong latecomer advantage.

It is amazing that China created their GPS and space station all by themselves !!! So smart !!

[MetaView]

Why do you have to say "Compete"?
China is only doing its own thing. China's method has always been Win-Win Cooperation. They are not interested in competing with you.

Hey Liminal, great content! Great quality, and narration. I am looking forward to more videos in the future. Keep up the amazing work👍

[alfredlim]

Not compete, this is top level knowledge assessment

[cindycombs]

I agree that this video is superb! The music, photography, and narration are excellent ! Thank you for this presentation. I look forward to viewing more !

[tekmepikcha]

New channel? Great! I love the background music and the areas of focus because they're not common in some other similar channels. Please continue to be authentic, informative, educational and non-partisan! Please resist these click-bait thumbnails and misleading captions!! Awesome video 👏👏👏

[emphiric]

Well done, China.
Alway in the forefront and always achieve its objectives for the sake of mankind.
In the foresight, you have made all Chinese in the world proud regardless of where they are from or which country.

[ekcng]

Not competing with the ISS, it has already outgunned the ISS😂

[toabhi]

Correctly pointed.. Chinese space station looks very clean and Modern. The ISS looks more like an old data center. 😅😅

[seanaugagnon]

You can say China is doing this or that. But for me it's Humanity. Humans are building this. Humans from earth are going to space. 🌍🌎🌏

[Kyzby]

Such a great video! This channel is so underrated..

Tiangong is for天宫, which means palace （宫）above the sky or in the space （天）
Shen Zhou is for 神舟, which means spirit or amazing （神）and ship （舟）；“神” actually means spirit or deity or GOD，but it has many meanings depends on which Chinese character you put it with；
Meng Tian is for 梦天, which means dream （梦）and sky or space（天）；
Weitian is for 问天， which means ask（问） and sky or space （天）；
Xuntian is for 巡天，which means perambulate （巡）in the space（天），it’s the survey telescope which will be launched in 2023.
About Chinese astronauts‘ name, Liu Bo Ming is for 刘伯明，one for each Chinese character, also tones are essential in Chinese language. So just calling him Boming is not very accurate.
Anyway, if you put some efforts on learning Chinese, you may have the chance to get into Chinese space station, I know some Europeans have already done that. I sincerely hope American lawmakers to ditch the Wolf Act to make room for more cooperations in the future.

This modular structure reminds us of the movie interstellar... the USA can make the movie but China made it into reality.. China is next level in all aspects
