The Sixth China Manufacturing Day

This raises the question:

“What is a firm step in space exploration?”

This firm step is the space station

What kind of laboratory is the space station?

On April 29 this year, my country's space station

The core module was successfully launched into orbit

There are already six astronauts

Work was carried out on

Now there is only one cabin

Next year, the first and second experimental modules will be launched

In the more than ten years of operation

Two cargo spacecraft launched each year

Two Shenzhou spacecraft are launched every year

In this way, our space station will exist for a long time

Astronauts in orbit for a long time

The space station has many core resources

Two scientific experiment cabinets have been arranged on the core module.

After the space station is completed, there will be

Sixteen world-leading scientific experiment cabinets are in orbit

Capable of supporting life, fluids

Combustion, materials, basic physics, and more

Scientific research in all areas

At the same time, there were sixty-seven people outside the cabin.

Loading position and three large attachment points

Many astronomical observation payloads

Earth observation payload and new technology research payload

Can work outside the cabin

In addition to a range of scientific facilities

The space station is following

Large Astronomical Survey Telescope

This telescope is comparable to Hubble.

Image quality comparable to Hubble

But the field of view is more than 300 times larger than Hubble's

What is the current status?

Coming soon in 2024

Co-orbiting with the space station

Will dock with the space station when necessary

Refueling or maintenance

On the Sky Survey Telescope

There are five backend modules

Able to cover a wide spectrum

Capable of conducting large-scale spectral surveys

Able to see one third of the entire sky

Why do we need to go to the space station to conduct experiments?

The space station is a space station that can provide

Long-term microgravity and radiation research environment

The use of needle-nosed pliers in microgravity

Unlike the axisymmetric rotation on the ground

Instead, it rotates two circles forward and two circles backward

It’s a very special sport

So we need to study these special laws in space.

What experiments are planned on the space station?

Four major areas are planned

65 research projects

And nearly a thousand research projects

In the field of life sciences

There are a series of studies on animals, plants, and microorganisms

At the same time, cells, tissues, organs

All-round research on individuals and groups

Through this series of studies

Hope in space science

Including dark matter detection

Space life development and other aspects

Made some major scientific discoveries

In the space-time benchmark

Navigation and timing services

In robotics

Achieve key technological breakthroughs

In stem cells and regenerative medicine

Including synthetic biology manufacturing and so on

A large number of application results have been achieved

This will enable space science and technology

Comprehensive and coordinated development of applications

Hope to build a strong country in science and technology

Make a very substantial contribution

Then, a "havoc in heaven"

Roundtable discussion begins

Guests participating in the discussion

They are practitioners from the aerospace industry.

They discussed it again

What knowledge do you have about aviation?

Guests participating in this roundtable are:

Zhang Wei, director of the Application Development Center of the Space Application Engineering and Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences;

Wang Baosen, a lathe operator at the 699th Plant of the Second Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and winner of the China Skill Award;

Shi Liming, chief designer of the space station system structure and mechanism of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation;

Hong Yiqiang, a young designer from the Fourth Department of the Fourth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation;

Zhang Ge, team leader of the Shenzhou spacecraft general assembly team of the General Assembly and Environmental Engineering Department of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Let’s start with a few small questions to understand this roundtable:

Aerospace personnel have always had very high demands on quality. Have you felt any changes over the years?

Wang Baosen: In aerospace, there is a saying called zero defects. What is zero defects? It means that no defects are allowed. This is very important for us, because in aerospace system engineering, quality is our life, our responsibility, and also a strong guarantee for our country's national defense. Our slogan is to do things right the first time. If in your process, even if you can achieve a 99.9% pass rate for the workpiece, you think it is very good, but in this huge aerospace system engineering, after dozens or even hundreds of processes, your product pass rate may be 95% or even lower. It is absolutely not allowed in aerospace system engineering. We require 100% and zero defects, which cannot be changed. Therefore, among aerospace people, the four words "striving for excellence" are never a slogan, but a real goal of our work.

How has the space station performed in orbit? What are some of the things that impressed you most during your time in orbit?

Shi Liming: Since the space station was launched on April 29, it has undergone a series of in-orbit tests, including subsequent dockings with Tianzhou-2, Tianzhou-3, Shenzhou-12 and Shenzhou-13, as well as a series of other tasks including ground-to-space communications and space teaching. So far, all performances can be said to be perfect.

During this period, there are two things that are most important or impressive to me. The first thing is when Shenzhou 12 entered the space station for the first time. When they opened the four hatches and flew into the core module, I was very excited at that time. It was like the module that I had worked on for ten years was perfectly displayed. Ten years of hard work was worth it.

The second is when going out of the cabin. Extravehicular activities are very risky and one of the most dangerous activities in space. When astronaut Liu Boming went out of the cabin for the first time, he exclaimed, "It's so beautiful outside." We participated in the activity in the flight control hall. Following their footsteps, we also saw our beautiful home planet and the bright starry sky. We were also very shocked. Of course, the whole process was still very tense. We could not rest assured until they finally returned very smoothly and closed the door and passed the inspection.

What do you think about the rapid development of aerospace materials?

Hong Yiqiang: There is a saying in the industry that one generation of materials is one generation of aerospace , which is enough to show the promotion of advanced materials technology to the entire aerospace industry. In turn, aerospace technology has developed rapidly in recent years, so driven by its intelligent equipment, the entire materials industry, especially structural composite materials represented by carbon fiber and functional composite materials represented by heat protection, has developed rapidly.

It can be said that through the efforts of the past few years, the composite materials used in many of our aircraft are unprecedented in terms of breadth and depth of application. Some aircraft now, except for a few individual components, can basically achieve full composite material. From this perspective, the development of materials in recent years has provided strong support for the entire aircraft.

The space station has changed from "one room and one living room" to "three rooms and one living room". How do the craftsmen of the space station decorate the cargo spacecraft, manned spacecraft and space station?

Zhang Ge: To be specific, it is through the production and design of interior decoration that the space station, Shenzhou spacecraft and cargo spacecraft are meticulously decorated. The spacecraft is refined from a simple rough room to an exquisite and comfortable first-class cabin. The comfort and aesthetics of the spacecraft are improved by sampling, producing and installing the interior decoration. We have also made many modifications in the process of interior decoration production. We used to use simple kraft paper for simple complex sampling, manual cutting and sewing, and installation in the spacecraft. Now we use fully automated technology to sample and complex the three-dimensional model of the spacecraft, design and produce the interior decoration, and use a three-dimensional automated cutting table to cut and complex the interior decoration. When the interior decoration is carefully installed, we use three-dimensional projection technology for detailed adjustment and installation, thereby comprehensively improving the beauty, reliability and comfort of the cabin.
