Editor's Note:


China's first domestically-built aircraft carrier will be officially launched soon this year. Construction of the giant vessel Rex Burkhead Limited Jersey , currently called the Type 001A, began in 2013.


The strength of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has grown since the 2012 inauguration of its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, which has since increased its combat capabilities and completed blue sea exercises.


Experts say China needs at least three modern aircraft carriers, ideally five or six, to protect the country's maritime interests, which face disputes over the ownership of islands with other countries. Photos show that the new aircraft carrier Lawrence Guy Limited Jersey , currently under construction at the Dalian Shipyard, has been painted the gray color of the PLA, signaling it is nearly ready to launch. The Defense Ministry in March confirmed that the carrier has entered its final stage of construction. With the inauguration of the Type 001A, China will become the seventh country behind the US, Russia, Britain, France Stephon Gilmore Limited Jersey , Italy and Spain, to have shown it is able to build its own carriers. Military experts have suggested the new carrier will be put into active service before 2020.


The Global Times put together some graphics showing the data of the Liaoning, Type 001A as well as figures from US naval power in comparison.

The area pictured was part of the moon's highland and was mainly composed of plagioclase, a common rock-forming element. On the surface were craters of different sizes, shapes, structures and ages Trey Flowers Limited Jersey , the BACC sources said.


""The dark patch in the picture's upper right side shows the surface blanketed by basalt, a hard and dense volcanic rock,"" the sources said.


Sun Laiyan, chief of the China National Space Administration, said the picture was very clear and of very good quality.


""It shows that the camera and the ground control and application systems are all working normally,"" said Sun at a press conference on Monday afternoon.


The picture was pieced together by 19 images, each covering a width of 60 kilometers on the moon's surface. The far right of the picture was the first area to be captured by the CCD camera aboardChang'e-1.


All the image data was collected on Nov. 20 and Nov. 21 and processed into a three-dimensional picture in several days after being transmitted back to Earth.


""Chinese people's dream of flying to the moon for more than 1 Jordan Richards Limited Jersey ,000 years has started to materialize,"" said Wen in a passionate speech. He hailed China as one of the few world powers capable of conducting a deep-space probe.


The premier said that the lunar probe was the third milestone in China's space exploration, following the success of man-made satellites and manned space flights.


The success, he said, not only manifested China's rising national strength and technical innovation capability, but also elevated the country's international status and cemented national cohesion.


""It showcases eloquently that the Chinese people have the will, the ambition and the capability to compose more shining new chapters while ascending the science and technology summit Malcom Brown Limited Jersey ,"" he said.

The 2,350-kg satellite carries eight probing facilities, including a stereo camera and interferometer, an imager and gammax-ray spectrometer, a laser altimeter, a microwave detector, a high-energy solar particle detector and a low-energy ion detector.


It aims to fulfill four scientific objectives. They include a three-dimensional survey of the moon surface Antonio Garcia Limited Jersey , analysis on the abundance and distribution of elements on the lunar surface, an investigation of the characteristics of lunar regolith and the powdery soil layer on the surface, and an exploration of the circumstance between the Earth and moon..
