The Briefing

What’s China doing in space?


Listen Later

China has made no secret of its plans to dominate the space race.  So how does this latest space race reflect tensions here on earth?  

 

Beijing has launched the Tiangong Space station...a rival site to the aging international space station.  Last month they landed a remote-controlled rover on Mars making it only the second country after the US to operate a rover there.  

 

Dr. Rebecca Allen, an Astronomer and researcher at Swinburne University’s Space Technology and Industry Institute joins us to talk about how and why China has joined the space race.
