China Space Station will complete the construction task by the end of the year, and will officially enter the operation stage in 2023, which means that Chinese people in space will be online all year round! We have been doing this dream for many years and finally come true!
Beijing time on October 25, 2022, the Mengtian Experimental Cabin and the Long March 5 B Yao-4 launch vehicle combination completed vertical transfer work at the Wenchang Space Launch Site. After completing various functional inspections and joint tests before launch, the Mengtian Experimental Cabin will soar into the sky and will be docked to the Tianhe core cabin after entering orbit. At that time, the Chinese space station will become a complete "T-shaped" structure, and the three-bedroom space will also be formed.
China Space Station project has three processes. With the official launch of Tianhe core module in 2021, it means that China's space station has entered the stage of key technology verification. After that, the four launch missions of Tianzhou-2 , Shenzhou-12 , Tianzhou-3 and Shenzhou-13 have completed the verification of key technology. Everything is ready and there is no east wind!
With the successful launch of Tianzhou IV, China's space station has officially entered the construction stage. The six launch missions in 2022 have been completed three times so far. The very important In-Tiantian Experimental Cabin has been launched into orbit docking, and the Chinese space station assembly has changed from a one-cabin structure to a two-cabin form.

At the same time, the hatch on the Tianhe core cabin is also converted to backup.
The construction process of the China Space Station is similar to building a house or stacking blocks. Each cabin can become an independent individual. The scale of the Wentian Experimental Cabin is even larger than that of the Tianhe Core Cabin. You can tell by the name that it is a space laboratory with 25 scientific experiment cabinets. In addition, the larger space also provides astronauts with 3 sleeping areas and 1 bathroom.
Currently, the Chinese space station assembly is a "two-bedroom" structure, with 6 sleeping areas and two bathrooms, which can be used for 6 astronauts to perform missions in orbit in a short period of time.
As the Mengtian Experimental Cabin is about to enter the site, the "three-bedroom" structure of the China Space Station will be completed soon. The Mengtian Experimental Cabin will first connect to the forward interface of the Tianhe Core Cabin. After a period of flight, it will also be horizontally translocated and transferred to the horizontal permanent parking port. At that time, the China Space Station will be the "T-shaped" structure originally set, and everything is worth looking forward to!
When the Mengtian Experimental Cabin is launched, the Chinese Space Station will have two last launch missions in 2022, the Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft and the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft. It is worth noting that the three astronauts of the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft will meet with the Shenzhou 14 astronauts, and the 6 astronauts will live and work in space for 7-15 days. Chinese space stations such as
have officially entered the operation stage and will adopt such a mission handover form, with 6 astronauts flying together in orbit, so that the space station can be used to the greatest extent.
We all know that there are currently two space stations in space, one is the Chinese space station, and the other is the International Space Station , designed by 16 countries. It has been 24 years since the launch of the Russian Dawn in 1998 and is facing the embarrassment of retirement.
One day, there will be only the Chinese space station orbiting in space. Will foreign astronauts visit the Chinese space station?
Judging from the current situation, China Aerospace adheres to a win-win attitude and welcomes cooperation applications from other countries. Currently, 17 countries have been selected for the first batch of China's space station projects, including Russia, Japan, India, etc., but not the United States.This means that in the future, China's space station will be completed and enter the operation stage, and foreign astronauts will definitely enter the Chinese space station. An important premise is: learn Chinese well!
Otherwise, you can’t even understand the operating system, so how can you enter space? Let’s wait for the launch of the Mengtian Experimental Cabin. This is a crucial step for the construction stage of China’s space station, and it is also the last puzzle of China’s space station!
