IT House March 24 news, according to CCTV news reports, this year, the Chinese space station's "Qingtian" experimental module and "Dream" experimental module will be launched, these two experimental modules will carry a large number of scientific experimental facilities.
Zhang Wei, director of the Application Development Center of the Space Application Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that as the largest and long-term human-cared space experiment platform in the history of continental spaceflight, after the completion of the Chinese space station, more than 1,000 research projects will be carried out in four important fields, such as space life science and human body research, microgravity physical science, space astronomy and earth science, and space new technology and application.
According to reports, a number of experimental cabinets in the "Qingtian" and "Dream" experimental modules that will be launched this year and the extravehicular exposure experimental platform can support scientific experimental research such as space life, space materials, basic physics, and combustion.
In addition, China's manned space project will also actively carry out international cooperation on the space station. Currently, China and ESA have 10 space station cooperation projects underway. In addition, China, in cooperation with the United Nations Division for Outer Space Affairs, has solicited scientific research projects from scientists around the world, and has selected the first batch of 9 international cooperation projects.
IT House learned that Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned space project, previously said that the Chinese space station will be completed this year. In addition, the continent also plans to launch Chinese's first space telescope in 2023 or 2024.
According to the data, the orbital height of the Chinese space station is 400 to 450 kilometers, the inclination angle is 42 to 43 degrees, the design life is 10 years, the long-term residence of 3 people, and the total weight can reach 180 tons for large-scale space applications. On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft and the space station assembly completed an autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking. Astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu entered the Tianhe core module, and the Chinese space station opened the era of long-term presence.
