Turkish Radio and Television Corporation International Channel article on November 3, original title: What does Mengtian launch mean to China's space dream
November 3 at 15:12, the Shenzhou 14 astronaut crew successfully entered Mengtian Experimental Cabin . ( China Manned Space Engineering Office )
Earlier this week, China launched the Dream Sky Experimental Cabin, which is the last part of China's local space station " Tiangong ". What made this launch so crucial? The launch of the Dream Sky Experimental Cabin truly demonstrates China's strength, that is, to form a space station alone without relying on the two major space powers of the United States and Russia. This is a critical step for China to build the space station by the end of this year and a milestone moment in China's space ambitions. The following are five highlights about the space station and the cabin:
"an important participant on equal footing"
"Tiangong" will mark "now China has become a space participant on equal footing with the United States, Russia and Europe." AFP quoted analyst Chen Lan (sound) as saying, "From the perspective of technology and business, new players are always good. Competition can always accelerate innovation."
short message communication subsystem
Dream Tian Experimental Cabin has a short message communication subsystem supported by China's domestic Beidou navigation system. It is reported that this is the first time that the Beidou navigation system has been applied and tested on China Space Station . This subsystem will serve as a bridge for astronauts to communicate with their families on the ground at any time, and can also provide an emergency communication link to contact the ground headquarters when other communication means of the space station fail.
Scientific Experiment
" South China Morning Post " stated that the Mengtian Experimental Cabin is equipped with more research facilities and will support a series of physical experiments under microgravity . The report said that by reducing the temperature to 10 picalkelvin by laser, the experiment will reduce the temperature of atom to "the lowest temperature that humans can reach in history."
China's heaviest spacecraft
Dream sky experimental cabin takes off weight about 23 tons, which is the heaviest spacecraft launched in China in history. According to reports, Liu Guoning, deputy chief of the space application system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Space Application Center, said that the Tiangong Space Station will become the largest comprehensive space research experimental platform in China in the next 10 years. Once completed, the total weight of Tiangong Space Station is expected to reach 90 tons, about 1/4 of that of International Space Station.
Remembrance Qian Xuesen
"South China Morning Post" said that the launch date of the Mengtian Experimental Cabin coincides with the anniversary of Qian Xuesen's death. He died on October 31, 2009. The Encyclopedia Britannia website wrote that although no specific missile , rocket engine or satellite was developed, the money was hailed as the "father of China's spacecraft" because "he personally trained China's first generation of breakthrough aerospace engineers."
