China’s Shenzhou and Chang’e space projects will be highlighted in the Space Pavilion at next year’s World Expo in Shanghai, the construction of which began yesterday. According to a Shanghai Daily report, the corporate pavilion, which is being built by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation and the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, will look like a huge cube suspended in mid-air. The surface is planned to look like outer space.
The design will make it look as though the structure is unsupported in places, according to Wu Zhuo, Deputy Director of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The pavilion’s aim is to show how aerospace technologies change people’s daily lives, the report said. A tribute to the spirit of the China’s taikonauts will be a centrepiece of the pavilion.
All the 15 corporate pavilions at the Expo 2010 have begun construction, the report added.
