Science and Technology

Major Achievements [2]

  
The positron and negatron electronic collider

In October 1988, the Beijing Positron-Negatron Electronic Collider was successfully installed, not only to develop scientific research in particle physics, energy, materials, biology, chemistry and integrated circuits, but also to produce products for export.

Nuclear power stations

In 1970, China began to design its first nuclear power station, the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station, in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province. The first-stage project of this power station, with an installed capacity of 300,000 kw, began to be constructed at the beginning of 1985. Meanwhile, construction began on the Dayawan Nuclear Power Station, 60 km east of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, with an installed capacity of 1,800,000 kw.
Carrier rockets
In May 1980, China successfully launched a carrier rocket to a predetermined area in the Pacific Ocean, which was the first time for China to launch a rocket to land in international waters from its territory. In 1982, a China-made rocket passed its first space flight test, thus making China the fourth country to possess new-type space microthrust rocket engines, following the United States, the former Soviet Union and Japan. In October 1982, China successfully launched a carrier rocket from a submerged submarine, and in September 1988, from a nuclear submarine. Chinese carrier rockets include the Long March carrier rockets and the ¡°Storm I¡± carrier rocket.

Satellite launching technology

On April 24, 1970, the China-made ¡°Long March I¡± carrier rocket successfully took the ¡°Dongfanghong I,¡± China's first man-made satellite, into orbit. This made China the fifth country in the world able to independently develop and launch man-made satellites, following the former Soviet Union, the United States, France and Japan. Later, China successfully developed and launched scientific experimental satellites, retrievable satellites and stationary communication satellites, mastering the advanced techniques of satellite retrieval and multiple satellite launching with a single carrier rocket and synchro-positioning technology. On April 7, 1990, at the Xichang Satellite Launching Center, the ¡°Long March III¡± carrier rocket successfully launched ¡°Asia I,¡± the first foreign satellite launched by China, marking the entry of China-made satellites into the international market.
