    Introduction: "Shenzhou-6 manned spacecraft successfully completed all scientific experiment tasks, and landed safely in Amugulang grassland in central Inner Mongolia at 4:33 a.m on October 17, with two astronauts in good health The Shenzhou-6 manned space mission was a complete success "In total, the Shenzhou VI manned space flight we organized cost 900 million yuan, or 110 million US dollars." On the morning of October 17, at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council six hours after the Shenzhou-6 spacecraft and two astronauts landed safely, Tang Xianming, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said: "we have successfully completed this manned mission in accordance with the scheduled plan, which is a perfect mission." In response to further questions from our reporter, Tang Xianming said: "the investment in the implementation of this manned space mission is 900 million yuan, all of which are from the national government, and there is no private investment at present." Xu Dazhen, deputy general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said in response to the reporter's questions: "the success of Shenzhou VI flight will inevitably bring good benefits to the development of science and technology and economic development of China In history, China's Long March rockets have a place in the field of international commercial launch For some reasons that you know, from 1996 to last year, some of our contracts in this area were not implemented The Shenzhou-6 mission is the 88th launch of our long March rockets and the 46th consecutive success It has brought a good reputation to our long March rockets We are very happy to participate in international commercial satellite launching and international cooperation In fact, we have also launched an alien satellite this year and signed several contracts for the export of the whole satellite We will serve all countries in the world with high-quality products and satisfactory services " "Some reasons we know" mentioned by Xu Dazhen refers to the setback of China's commercial satellite launch caused by two consecutive satellite launch failures in 1996 Since 1990, China has officially entered the world commercial space market, starting with the launch of the "Asia-1" satellite, and began to undertake the international commercial satellite launch business Over the next few years, China relied on low-cost and safe launch results to secure many orders China has launched 29 international commercial satellites However, the failure of two successive satellite launches in 1996 made China encounter a major setback Because of the lack of confidence in China's Long March rockets, many international launch contracts were stopped halfway In April this year, China returned to the international commercial satellite launch market, launching the first international commercial satellite in six years, Asia Pacific six Xu Dazhe revealed that China is already carrying out the lunar exploration project, and the aerospace science and technology group company has participated in the development of the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite and the launch vehicle of the lunar exploration project He said that launching man-made earth satellites, manned space flight and launch exploration are the three major areas of human space activities; we have made great progress in the first two areas and made important achievements; carrying out the launch exploration activities dominated by lunar exploration is the inevitable choice of China's space activities; at present, we do the exploration of the moon, not the landing on the moon "Now the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite is under development as planned." Xu said.
