Nandu News intern Zhao Ji Nandu reporter Pan Shanju sent from Beijing On what aspects the livability of the Chinese space station and the core module is reflected in, on December 17, the Central Propaganda Department held a meeting of Chinese and foreign journalists on behalf of party members in the field of manned spaceflight" to "fly in the sky and write loyalty to dreams." Berlin Hou, deputy chief designer of the space station system of China's manned space project and researcher of the Space Technology Research Institute of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said in response to a reporter's question that the internal space of the core capsule has been finely decorated, and it is also equipped with smart homes, and the sound and photoelectric system ensures that astronauts do not have to work night shifts. The construction of a space-earth integrated network system can enable astronauts to go online and video chat with family and friends.

Shenzhou 12 flight crew astronaut Tang Hongbo.
At the meeting site, Tang Hongbo, an astronaut of the Astronaut Brigade Chinese of the People's Liberation Army and an astronaut of the Shenzhou 12 flight crew, who was an astronaut of the "personal evaluation" of the livability of the Tianhe core module, expressed great satisfaction with the thickly decorated "house" in Berlin.
The Nandu reporter learned that Tang Hongbo was already a backup astronaut during the Shenzhou 11 mission and participated in the preparation of Shenzhou 11 throughout the process.
When sharing the experience during the Shenzhou 12 flight, Yang Hongbo said that in the past, it took about an hour to prepare a meal in terms of eating, but now it takes about half an hour to eat hot rice, eat hot dishes, and drink hot soup. To a certain extent, if there is time, it is also possible to achieve 'yogurt freedom'. In terms of sleep, due to the uncertainty of space, the previous astronauts needed to be on duty at night, and now they can sleep peacefully, and all three people can sleep peacefully.
It is worth noting that there is a speaker in the sleeping area of the astronaut, not for listening to music, but connected with the system, which can realize the alarm information in time to notify the sleeping area of each astronaut in time.
According to Yang Hongbo, astronauts can control the kitchen microwave oven and hot air heater through mobile phones, put food in advance and make reservations, and then heat up when the time comes.
"The design of manned spacecraft is people-oriented, and livability design is one of the important contents." Berlin Hou said.
Berlin Hou said that when designing livability content, it will first analyze what livability factors are in the space weightless environment, and then conduct targeted research and design. After completing the design, the designer will simulate himself as an astronaut to experience whether the design is reasonable and appropriate, and will also invite the astronauts to the scene to experience and improve and perfect according to everyone's opinions.
Berlin Hou stressed that after the end of each manned mission, the astronauts of the crew will be organized to hold a discussion to ask for suggestions on the design of livability throughout the flight period, and improve and implement them in the next mission. For example, after the return of the Twelve-Fold Group, a symposium was held in mid-October to identify some of the things that needed to be improved in the experimental module, manned spacecraft, and cargo spacecraft. The content of the current Tianhe core cabin livability design is as follows:
First, the use of advanced information technology to improve the convenience of astronauts' life and work in orbit. For example, there is a smart home, astronauts can control the lighting and kitchen equipment in the entire core cabin through the APP installed by mobile phones, which can improve the convenience of astronauts' life on orbit.
Second, during the development of the core module, the entire interior space of the core module was finely decorated, which allowed the astronauts to work comfortably and comfortably inside. You can see through the images that the layout of the whole cabin is very bright and very spacious, and the astronauts will be very comfortable inside.
Third, it is equipped with a sound and photoelectric system, which can ensure that astronauts rest normally like personnel on the ground and do not have to be on duty at night.
Fourth, the space-earth integration network system has been fully constructed, and astronauts can go online, video chat with friends, and family videos on the same foot as on the ground.
