2021 is the year of the construction of the Chinese space station. From the launch of the Tianhe core module on April 29, 2021, to today, the Chinese space station has been in orbit for more than eight months. During this time, the space station completed 5 launches, 4 astronaut space capsules, 1 manned return, and 1 space lecture during the key technology verification phase of the space station. The construction of the Chinese space station is exciting.
The Chinese space station Tianhe core module has been in orbit for more than 8 months
Hello everyone, I am the Chinese space station Tianhe Core Module, I have been traveling in low Earth orbit more than 400 kilometers from the earth for more than eight months, rotating around the earth more than 3800 times.
During this period, I have created many records with the visitors: the first time a Chinese astronaut has entered the Chinese space station; the first time to achieve a long-term stay of astronauts; the first time to achieve autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking, the time taken has been shortened from 2 days to 6.5 hours; the astronauts have used a robotic arm to perform extravehicular operations for the first time; the first time in orbit to comprehensively and systematically verify the regenerative environmental control and protection technology; the first radial docking of a manned spacecraft; the first space teaching of the space station "Tiangong Classroom" ...
During this time, a total of 6 astronauts came to visit me, including a beautiful female astronaut who taught a wonderful lesson in space, didn't she also impress you?
Shenzhou 13 will return to Earth in April
So far, the "Feel Good Ride" is the flight crew that has stayed with me for the longest time. But the "iron" hit the space station, the astronauts of the flowing water, in April this year, they will return to Earth. At that point, the mission of the space station's key technology verification phase will be completed. Next, the Chinese space station will be fully transferred to the construction stage.
Keyword "six" The Chinese space station continues in the wonderful new year
Knock on the key, construction phase, key number 6. In this new phase, a total of 6 launch missions will be planned, including two experimental modules, two cargo ships and two manned spacecraft to come and dock with me, and we will form a flight combination of 3-cabin N ships. Moreover, the on-orbit residence time of each batch of astronaut crews in the future is 6 months, which is also the normal stay cycle of the flight crew during the operation of the space station. At that time, the number of astronauts stationed in orbit will reach a maximum of 6, and the three astronauts of the Shenzhou 14 crew and the three astronauts of the Shenzhou 15 crew will be in orbit at the same time.
After that, after a comprehensive assessment of the state of the space station, it will move on to the application and development phase. Come, and I look forward to the future of the Chinese space station, wonderful continuously, continue 666!
