Another major test is how to consume the least possible propellant while achieving rendezvous and docking.
A space station can only be built after the success of rendezvous and docking.
This measurement method can be used not only for formation flying but also for rendezvous and docking of spacecrafts.
In the second phase, from 2005, 15 billion yuan has been spent on projects, including Shenzhou VII and the first rendezvous and docking mission, she explained.
The program would be responsible for flight tests of new technologies such as autonomous rendezvous and docking, in-orbit refueling, and inflatable habitat modules.
Said Zhou the task of rendezvous and docking is the greatest risk since we started to carry out the manned spaceflight engineering projects.
