Shenzhou 12 astronaut Tang Hongbo: In space, "drink yogurt freedom" is realized, and there are speakers in the sleeping area that can alarm

On December 17, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists, inviting representatives of party members in the field of manned spaceflight to meet and exchange views with Chinese and foreign journalists around "flying in the sky and writing loyalty to dreams". At the meeting, Tang Hongbo, an astronaut of the astronaut brigade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and an astronaut of the Shenzhou 12 flight crew, introduced his flight experience in the Tianhe core module when he was carrying out the Shenzhou 12 mission.

During the Shenzhou 11 mission, Tang Hongbo was a backup astronaut who participated in the preparation of Shenzhou 11 throughout the process. On this Shenzhou XII mission, he remained in orbit for three more months. Tang Hongbo said that he was very satisfied with the Shenzhou 12th Heaven and core capsules, and could see that the livability was getting better and better. In terms of eating. In the past, it took astronauts about an hour to prepare a meal, but now they can eat hot meals, eat hot dishes, and drink hot soup in about half an hour. To a certain extent, if there is time, astronauts can also achieve the freedom to drink yogurt.

Tang Hongbo said that there are smart homes in the core cabin of Tianhe. Astronauts can control the microwave oven and hot air heater in the kitchen through their mobile phones, put food in advance and make reservations, and then it will be hot.

Tang Hongbo said that in terms of sleeping, in the past, astronauts still needed to be on duty at night, because there were still some uncertainties in space, and now astronauts can sleep peacefully, and three people can sleep peacefully. In the astronaut's sleeping area, there is a speaker, which is not used to listen to music, but is connected to the system. In the event of a situation, the alarm message can be notified to every sleeping area of the astronaut. So, now everyone can sleep more peacefully.
