- | China’s Mars rover makes stunning discovery in search for evidence of ancient water [[https://lucky-jetts.com/|lucky jet играть]] | + | Pakistani astronaut will become first foreign national to enter Chinese space station [[https://lucky-jetts.com/|лаки джет игра]] |
+ | A Pakistani astronaut will become the first foreign national aboard China’s Tiangong space station, as Beijing steps up space diplomacy amid a burgeoning battle with the United States for supremacy in orbit. | ||
- | Mars may have once hosted an ocean with waves that lapped against sandy beaches 3.6 billion years ago, according to new research. China’s Zhurong rover and its ground-penetrating radar detected the ancient shorelines when it operated from May 2021 to May 2022. | + | The mission of the Pakistani astronaut – who is yet to be selected – tightens already close space ties between Beijing and Islamabad. Last year, Pakistan sent a satellite to the Moon aboard China’s lunar explorer, alongside payloads from the European Space Agency, France, and Italy, according to Chinese state media. |
- | The rover landed in Utopia Planitia, a plain within the largest known impact basin on Mars, near a series of ridges in the planet’s northern hemisphere. Scientists have long questioned whether the ridges might represent the remnants of a shoreline, so Zhurong set out in search of evidence of ancient water. | + | Tiangong is one of two currently operating space stations, alongside the International Space Station, launched in 1998. Since it started operating in 2021, it has only hosted Chinese astronauts. |
- | The study, based on data collected by Zhurong as its radar instrument peered beneath the surface to examine hidden rock layers, was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. | + | The mission is “a significant step in the internationalization of the Chinese space station,” said Quentin Parker, an astrophysicist and professor at the University of Hong Kong. |
- | “We’re finding places on Mars that used to look like ancient beaches and ancient river deltas,” said study coauthor Benjamin Cardenas, assistant professor of geology in the department of geosciences at Penn State, in a statement. “We found evidence for wind, waves, no shortage of sand — a proper, vacation-style beach.” | + | “When you internationalize things properly, you build something greater than the sum of the parts, and that’s true in the internationalization of the space station,” he said. |
- | What’s more, it’s possible the Martian environment was warmer and wetter for tens of millions of years longer than previously suspected, the study authors wrote. | + | During a press conference on Wednesday, the China Manned Space Agency announced the astronaut selected will be a payload specialist, handling daily tasks during the mission, as well as scientific experiments for Pakistan. |
- | The revelations add to the increasing evidence that the red planet once had a warmer, wetter climate as well as an ocean that covered one-third of the Martian surface — conditions that might have created a hospitable environment for life. | + | Amjad Ali, deputy director of Pakistan’s space agency SUPARCO, lauded the news as a milestone for the South Asian nation, whose government is taking a renewed interest in its more than 60-year-old space program. |

+ | “It is very important for Pakistan, being the first foreign country whose astronauts are entertained by China and taken by the Chinese mission,” he told Reuters news agency on Wednesday. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ali said Pakistan space bosses will compile a list of five to 10 candidates for the mission over the next month, for China to then shorten to two. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The pair will then go through training in China for six months to a year, with one eventually being sent to space as early as October next year, while the other acts as a reserve, Ali said. | ||
