This is how I discover China has its own space station. > When China formally requested to join the ISS program in 2007, Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA) supported cooperation with China, but the Wolf Amendment, enacted by the United States since 2011, prohibited Chinese participation. That same year, China launched Tiangong-1, gaining rendezvous and docking experience. 10 years later, they had a fully operation space station. Say what you will, the Chinese are efficient once they set their mind to something. | ||||||||||||||
