It will promote universal development, Beijing notedBEIJING, November 1.

/tass/. The Chinese Space Station is open for cooperation with all countries, its task is to promote universal socio-economic development. This was stated on Tuesday by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.

"We will continue to make every possible effort for the sake of space exploration and its peaceful exploration, to contribute to the economic and social development of all countries," he said at a briefing, commenting on the successful launch of the Mengtian laboratory module into orbit. "We hope that the Chinese space station will become a home for all mankind in the near future."

According to the official representative, this project is open to all UN member states. "The launch of the Mengtian module was successful. This is a new milestone in the development of the Chinese manned space flight program, another important contribution to the progress of world cosmonautics," he added.

Mengtian is the second research module of the PRC space station, designed primarily for microgravity materials science and hydrophysical projects. It was launched on Monday from the Wenchang Cosmodrome (South China's Hainan Province). The first Wentian laboratory, designed primarily for biological experiments, was sent into orbit on July 24.

The Chinese station is located at an altitude of about 400 km and will serve for more than 10 years. It is designed for three people (up to six for a short time when the crew changes). The mass of the T-shaped complex, which has three docking nodes and a gateway for entering space, is 66 tons, the volume of compartments reaches 110 cubic meters. It is expected that the orbital object will work normally by the end of 2022 and, as promised by the Chinese authorities, will be available for international projects.
