从对接机构接触开始,经过捕获、缓冲、拉近、锁紧4个步骤,“神舟八号”飞船与“天宫一号”目标飞器3日凌晨实现刚性连接,形成组合体,中国载人航天首次空间交会对接试验获得成功.
这两个航天器组合体飞行段由“天宫一号”目标飞行器负责组合体飞行控制,“神舟八号”飞船处于停靠状态.按照计划,组合体飞行12天左右,将进行第二次交会对接试验.
“神舟八号”与“天宫一号”交会对接成功,为中国突破和掌握航天器空间交会对接关键技术,初步建立长期无人在轨运行、短期有人照料的载人空间试验平台,开展空间应用、空间科学实验和技术试验,以及建设载人空间站奠定基础、积累经验.
天宫一号/神舟八号交会对接任务是首次无人自动交会对接试验,根据中国载人航天工程交会对接的任务规划,2012年内将开展“神舟九号”、“神舟十号”与“天宫一号”的空间交会对接试验,其中至少有一次是载人飞行.
再问： 你好由于刚才没打全 很抱歉 请问你知道有关这个的英语作文吗
再答： Tiangong-1 launch betrays China's earthly ambitions The successful launch of the Tiangong-1 space station by China is an event of huge geopolitical significance, just as the orbiting of China's first astronaut was in 2003. It can be argued that China's achievements, though impressive, only demonstrate how far China lags behind Russia and the US. Russia after all launched its first cosmonaut in 1961 and its first space station in 1971. The US achieved these landmarks in 1961 and 1973, and, at just over eight tonnes, Tiangong-1 is smaller than the American Skylab station launched in 1973. But to focus on the 40-year gap is to ignore what lies behind China's space programme, and the Chinese governments' determination to achieve a series of dramatic space objectives that will confirm the country's status as a new superpower. The space programme also offers clues to the thinking behind China's long-term foreign policy goals and its strategic logic. Reaching for the stars Tiangong forms just one part of a much broader Chinese space exploration programme.
