China is now in the midst of developing an advanced new spaceship that is capable of landing on the moon and flying in low-Earth orbit. China is another bold step for a space program that is reportedly matched the U.S in the number of rocket launches in the previous year.

Zhang Bainian, a spaceship engineer stated that the new spacecraft have several rooms for the astronauts and would be recoverable. On Tuesday, the newspapers Science and Technology Daily reported that Zhang has raised a comparison between the NASA and European Space Agency's Orion spacecraft, New York Post has reported.

NASA's Orion spacecraft hope to carry astronauts into space by 2023 with the goal of bringing another human into the moon. Though China's developing spacecraft still has no concrete details yet and its spacecraft design is still unknown. CNSA's (China National Space Administration) Shenzhou space capsule is based on Russia's Soyuz and it is capable of carrying a total of three astronauts in its re-entry module.

China has launched its first manned mission into space back in 2003, reported that China's space flight came late. After the first manned mission, China was rapidly advanced and improved since then.

In the previous year, China has launched 22 rockets, the very first time the country matched the figure of the U.S launches. At the end of 2016, China successfully launched its second space station and the CNSA's ambiguously plan to launch a third space station in 2020 and an advanced space telescope.

According to Bloomberg, a fully functioning and permanently crewed space station is on the way to begin operations in five years. Also, a manned lunar mission is eyeing in the future by the People's Republic.

Now, China is one of the big three in space travel and is one of the most ambiguous countries to explore the moon. CNSA has developed a rover to further explore the far side of the moon hopefully next year.

China's primary mission of the new spacecraft is to land taikonauts on the moon in the year 2030. The human's natural satellite might be witnessing a lot more activity in the next 20 years.
