"Where are we and where are we going?" Faced with this rather philosophical question, perhaps you will find the answer in the following exhibition! On the afternoon of June 29, the opening press conference of the official aerospace art exhibition (Chongqing Station) of China Aerospace Cultural and Creative CASCI "Boundless" was held in Yuzhong District . The organizer officially announced at the meeting that this aerospace culture exhibition, which is enough to allow the audience to realize their desire to "travel in space and explore the boundaries of the universe" without leaving Chongqing, will officially open with citizens at Jiefangbei Metropolis Oriental Plaza starting from July 1. Meet.
According to reports, this exhibition is hosted by China Aerospace Construction Group and Aerospace Architectural Design and Research Institute. Its first stop was in Shenzhen in July last year, with a total of more than 200,000 visitors. At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of China Aerospace Construction Group, one of the organizers, said: "Our third stop is in Chongqing, and both the exhibition area and content are better than the first two stops!"
As we all know, in 2021 This is the year in which China’s aviation and aerospace industry has achieved significant results. "'Shenzhou 13' sent astronauts into the space station, 'Zhurong' achieved Mars landing, 'Tianhe' core module successfully lifted off, Chinese space station astronauts left the capsule for the first time, and other good news came frequently..." The organizer said that it was against this background that the official aerospace art exhibition of China Aerospace Culture and Creation CASCI "Borderless" came into being.
With the previous experience of Shenzhen Station and Chengdu Station, the China Aerospace Cultural and Creative CASCI "Borderless" (Chongqing Station) aerospace art exhibition covers a total area of 3,000 square meters. "We have artistically restored the vast universe so that everyone can experience space more closely." Guo Yanzhu, the chief curator of this exhibition and founding partner of Kezhi Culture, said in an interview with upstream reporters.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Guo Yanzhu, the reporter entered the exhibition hall in advance and took a closer look. Among the 14 major venues on site, both the creation of a sense of mystery and the presentation of on-site details such as 1:1 reproduction of the true appearance of the space vehicle are very attractive.

For example, after passing through the "Jump Gate" at the entrance, the first thing that struck the reporter's attention was the presentation of the theme of "lunar exploration project". In addition to 1:1 reproductions of the "Chang'e-1" satellite, "Chang'e-3" lander and "Chang'e-5" return module, there were also lunar surface scenes simulated on a huge circular screen. It makes people instantly feel like they have stepped on the surface of the moon.

Moving forward, bits and pieces of my country's Mars exploration project also broke into the eyes of reporters through similar methods. The "Tianwen-1" lander and the "Zhurong" Mars rover can all be seen here. In addition, everything they "saw" on the surface of Mars also magically appeared in front of reporters at this moment. Many fellow guests were also amazed by the Martian desert scene recreated in the exhibition.
The passages in the exhibition were simulated into scenes inside the space station
Of course, the most popular thing on site was the 1:1 replica of the "Shenzhou" spacecraft return capsule. Viewers can directly walk into the " return cabin " to find out more about the cabin settings such as "anti-immersion cold-proof clothing" and "drinking port". In addition, the giant rocket model, holographic simulation of interstellar travel and the interactive experience of the ultra-dimensional universe are also worth visiting in person.

"Like simulating Martian sandstorms, new media art, installation art, and various visual special effects are used in many parts of the entire exhibition." Chief curator Guo Yanzhu said , hoping to attract more people to appreciate the exhibition through these visual expressions that are more acceptable to the public. Guo Yanzhu said that this is also the original intention of launching this exhibition. It is not a textbook-style preaching, but hopes that everyone can immerse and feel the vast universe, understand the achievements of China and the world in aerospace, promote the aerospace spirit, and inspire the general public. Discover your passion for innovation.
At the scene with various special effects, the guests took out their mobile phones and took pictures non-stop.
"It is also a useful supplement to the current popularization of aerospace science." Zhao Chuandong, one of China's first astronauts who came to the scene, also told reporters, At present, my country's aerospace industry is developing rapidly, and aerospace science popularization is of great significance to the improvement of the scientific literacy of the whole people. He hopes that this exhibition will attract more children to enter the exhibition hall, feel the charm of China's aerospace industry, and understand the loyalty, persistence and simple noble character of Chinese astronauts.
Zhao Chuandong, one of China’s first batch of astronauts, also attended the event in person.
According to reports, the official aerospace art exhibition (Chongqing Station) of CASCI “Borderless”, a Chinese aerospace cultural and creative industry, will last until October 16.
