(Reuters) – China expects to establish its first space station by 
around 2022, building upon the experience of an experimental module 
already in orbit, state media said on Wednesday.<br />
China’s leaders have set a priority on advancing its space program, 
with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as
 a space power.<br />
In China’s manned space mission last year, three astronauts spent 15 
days in orbit and docked with an experimental space laboratory, the 
Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) 1.<br />
Yang Liwei, deputy head of China’s Manned Space Agency and also the 
country’s first man in space, said the follow-up Tiangong 2 was likely 
to be launched in about 2016.<br />
Then, in around 2018, the core of the space station would be launched
 with completion set for four years later, the official Xinhua news 
agency cited Yang as saying.<br />
China has previously said a working space station would be ready by around 2020.<br />
The country insists that its space program is for peaceful purposes.<br />
The U.S. Defense Department has highlighted China’s increasing space 
capabilities, however, saying China was pursuing activities aimed at 
preventing its adversaries from using space-based assets during a 
crisis.<br />
Despite considerable advances, China’s space program still lags those of the United States and Russia.<br />
China must still master launching cargo and fuel via space freighters
 and recycling air and water for extended manned missions, state media 
have said.<br />
