The exhibition showcasing China's 30 years of achievements in manned spaceflight opened at the National Museum of China on February 24, 2023. For the first time, the new-generation of manned spacecraft and the lunar surface lander are on public display.
The exhibition highlights China's ambitious space pursuits, showcasing the breakthroughs and core technologies that the country has successfully mastered in the process. Through its endeavors, China has paved a unique path of development for its aerospace industry.
The exhibition will run for three months. The main exhibits include a life-size model of the Tianhe core module that visitors can walk into, a model of the space station assembly, as well as models of the Long March carrier rockets that have been commissioned for space station-related tasks. The model of the new-generation manned launch vehicle will also be on display. The show will also include spacesuits, the Shenzhou-13 return capsule, rocket engines, the life support system onboard the space station, and the flag of the Communist Party of China that taikonauts carried into space.
Experts believe that the exhibition will better illustrate China's space achievements, promote the spirit of patriotism, popularize knowledge of space science, and inspire the public, especially young people, to courageously explore the unknown and pursue their dreams.
