Hello, i'm a new member of the chinese new-generation manned ship, the sky-travel transporter family。
On 5 may, my “test version”, a new-generation test vessel for manned spacecraft, has entered space to conduct tests of key technologies such as high-speed re-entry, control and recycling。
Who am i
The new generation of manned spacecraft is being developed by the chinese space science and technology group ltd. In the fifth college。
This is a new generation of manned spacecraft test ships, which is my “test version”, not the final “styping” version, primarily for flight validation of key technologies such as high-speed re-entry back to heat protection, control and group umbrella recovery, which are continuously being improved。
Simulation of flight in orbit
Where am i from
There's nothing more familiar about china's manned ship than my big brother's ship. Since the launch of the project in 1992, the ship has successfully completed 15 flight tests and successfully launched 11 astronauts into space and returned safely。
Why do you need me now that you've got a mature ship
Because when the chinese astronauts look to the moon and to the deeper depths, they need a new generation of spaceships to meet their larger dreams。
The big brother canoe solves the challenge of the astronauts entering space and returning safely to the ground, and then i solve the challenge of getting into space safer, more comfortable, smarter, and more economical, with deeper space exploration。
Where am i going
I can fly even further than a canoe, not only close to sending astronauts to and from the chinese space station, which is nearly 400 kilometres from the earth, but also to complete a 380,000-kilometre-long manned expedition to the moon and even further away。
Compared to the ship, i was able to transport goods from the near-earth space station, with both powerful combinations of “human plus objects”。
But we are not a substitute for each other, but rather a complement to each other, just as there are vans, buses and passenger and cargo vehicles on the road, our presence enriches the choice of means of transport to and from the world, depending on the needs of the mission。
At the same time, i have the advantage of reuse to reduce costs and significantly improve our ability to transport people to and from the world。
What do i look like
For our family, shame means strength。
I have a smooth, cone-like, blunt aerodynamics and a huge body, beautiful and spectacular。
The reverse cone is much higher than the clock type of the ship, and can slow down with air resistance when it returns at the speed of the second universe, allowing me to land more smoothly and precisely。
My head is large, nearly nine metres tall, and the fattest waist is about 4. 5 metres in diameter and weighs more than 20 tons. If you compare a canoe to a astronaut's space car, i'm a space bus. I will be able to transport six to seven astronauts at a time during my future missions in the near-earth orbit, twice the capacity of the ship。
Unlike the three-class structure of the ship, i'm made up of two compartments: a return module, which is the command centre for the ship as a whole and where the astronaut lives; and a service module that provides my power and energy。
I wore two “clothes” in my return module, which was made of new metal materials, which corresponded to the “wall” and surrounded the astronaut's “driver room” with a large volume, a good seal and a small interior view. Thermal efficiency is three times greater than that of the ship's ship, based on a reduction of more than 30 per cent in weight compared to that of the ship, not only to safeguard the safety of the returning module, but also to effectively increase the reusable rate by first-time removable design。
I have a beautiful hat on my head that protects a fragile and expensive docking device that space engineers designed for me with heatproof materials. When docked with other aircraft, the "hat" can be removed from the interface and placed on upon return to earth to protect the equipment from burning and reuse。
In 2015, the five chambers of the space science and technology group justified the development of a programme to conduct high-speed re-entry tests on a new generation of manned spacecraft, and in just three years, from january 2017 to december 2019, the designers completed the design of the programme, product development, ship-to-ship assembly, integrated testing and large-scale testing, which led to the breakthrough of a number of key technologies, from nothing to nothing, to the creation of the test vessel that today carries new hopes。
The main set
My future is not a dream
Thermal vacuum test
The flight of the pilot vessel was a flight validation test of key technology, and it was said, “the success of this flight test will open up a new chapter of our manned space project by developing a new generation of manned spacecraft that will enable our man-to-man transport technology to and from the earth to and from the earth to be crossed by follow-up and run and lead, providing a more solid basis for the construction of a manned space station and deep human space exploration”
So i'm going to build on this experiment and pick up the baton so that the chinese can explore deep space and walk more firmly
