The first scientific experimental cabin of China Aerospace Space Station "Ask the Sky" Sunday (July 24) was successfully launched in Hainan, which means that China has further established the goal of building the "Tiangong" space station and the national space laboratory at the end of the year.Interviewed military experts expect that China and the United States will inevitably increase the space game in the future, and the West may also rendering problems such as the harm of the wreckage of Chinese carrier rockets in the near future.

According to the news released by the China Manned Aerospace Engineering Office, the Long March 5 Lirep Rockets equipped with the Wentian Experimental Curdine, which was launched at the Wenchang Aerospace launcher at 2:22 pm Sunday.More than eight minutes later, I asked the sky to be separated from the Rockets and enter the scheduled track.

Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Han is watching the launch of the launch at the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, and congratulate all the participants in the research.

Chinese astronauts welcome the spacecraft visits space station for the first time

According to the predetermined procedure, I asked Tian to meet with the "Tianhe" core compartment that was sent to space at the end of April last year.In early June of this year, three Shenzhou 14th astronauts who performed missions to the core cabin will enter the work of asking Tian; this is also the first time that Chinese astronauts welcomed the spacecraft to visit the space station on the track.

China Space Station began construction in April last year. It is planned to be completed by the end of this year. The design life is at least 10 years, which will become an important milestone in China's 30 -year manned space plan.While completing the construction of the space station, it will also fully complete the T -shaped Tiangong Space Station consisting of the Tian and Core Card, the Experimental Card and the "Dream Sky" experimental compartment to build a national space laboratory.Mengtian has successfully completed the positive heat test in Tianjin recently, and is expected to be launched in October this year.

The cabin has a six -story height.

"Ask the sky", as the second large cabin section of the China Space Station, is the heaviest load launched by China so far with a weight of about 23 tons.The total length of the body is 17.9 meters, 1.3 meters longer than the sky and the core cabin, and the height of six floors.

Chinese military commentator Song Zhongping said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that the successful launch of the sky is of great significance.The completion of construction lays a good foundation.

Song Zhongping pointed out that asking Tian has a number of functions, the content is richer than the International Space Station, and also makes China Space Station more practical, which has an irreplaceable role in the construction of the entire Chinese space station.

Heaven consisting of working cabin, air gates and resource cabins is the main workplace during the track during the track. It will be mainly used to carry out spatial life science research and configure experimental cabinets such as life ecology and biotechnology.China News Agency quoted Yang Yuguang, vice chairman of the International Aerospace Space Transportation Committee that in the future, spacemen will plant plants, raise small animals, and cultivate microorganisms in these experimental cabinets.

Ask the sky will also support astronauts to stay and out of the cabin, and can be used as a backup of Tianhe's core compartment.Yang Yuguang introduced that once heaven and severe failure, he will be able to quickly take over the main control space station.

Ask Tian and Tian and the core cabin, equipped with astronaut living facilities, including three sleep areas, a sanitary zone and kitchen.

Song Zhongping evaluated that because the United States was worried about being overtaken by China in space technology, China and the United States will start more games and competition in space.He expects that the Long March 5 B -Car -Car Rockets will fall into the atmosphere after a few days. At that time, for Western countries for political purposes, it may again speculate on the harm of the wreckage to increase the target of China.
