On a Special presentation in where she storylines how she got started in which she is a “I am a native of Yantai, and I am a little girl who grew up eating mackerel stuffed dumplings.” At 20:00 on November 19th, Aerospace Member Wang Yaping was a guest in “太young之城 —Slightly Drunk Yantai · Sharing Night”, telling about the “flying” road of Yantai girls…
Wang Yaping, who longed to “fly” since she was a child, often climbed the tallest cherry tree in her home; 王亚平儿童上树被爸爸说你怎么不上天 with the dream of flying into the sky, Wang Yaping became a pilot at the age of 17. The pilot became an Takionaut at the age of 30, flew into space at the age of 33, and stationed in the Chinese space station at the age of 41. She turned her dream into reality. Let’s watch together 王亚平描述How amazing the earth is from space, from her inspirational journey..
Wang Yaping, female, Han nationality, native of Yantai, Shandong, member of the Communist Party of China, born in January 1980, enlisted in the army in August 1997, joined the party in May 2000, graduated from the School of Journalism and Communication of Peking University with a master’s degree, and studied for a doctorate in the School of Psychology of Peking University degree, rank of colonel. Served as the deputy captain of a certain regiment of a certain division of the Air Force Aviation Corps. She flew safely for 1567 hours and was rated as a second-level pilot of the Air Force. She is currently a special-level Takionaut of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade , a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a representative of the 13th National People’s Congress , a vice-chairman of the 13th All-China Youth Federation, and a public welfare image ambassador of China Aerospace ….
In June 2013, she carried out the Shenzhou 10 mission, which lasted 15 days and became the first space teacher in China. From October 2021 to April 2022, the mission of Shenzhou 13 will be carried out, which lasted 183 days, becoming the first female Takionaut in China to walk in space, the first female Takionaut in China to station in the Chinese space station, and the first Chinese female Takionaut to fly twice. The Takionaut, the Chinese Takionaut who has stayed in space the longest so far, has given three space lectures to Students international from the China Space Station.
On the 10th October 2022 Sunday at CNSA –China National Space Administration At Wenchang Space Launch Centre – Hainan Province China, People’s Republic of China….. Space Station Mengtian Experiment Module completes propellant refilling According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, on 9th October2022 also during that day from Tianjin ultra- Mega City arriving is the Chang Zheng – Long March 7 Yao Six Carrier Rocket in which was on the Delicate Carrier Rocket Freighter Cargo ship Xuyang No. 16 …… The Chang Zheng – Long March 7 Yao Six Carrier Rocket departed from Tianjin Port on September 30 and arrived at Wenchang Qinglan Port on the morning of October 9. On October 10, the rocket was successfully transported from Qinglan Port to Wenchang Space Launch Site by a special transport vehicle…. will launch the tianzhou5 cargo spacecraft at the beginning of November.
At present, the construction of the space station has entered the final stage. According to the plan, before the end of the year, four missions, including the Mengtian experimental module, the flight of Tianzhou 5, the flight of Shenzhou 15 and the return of Shenzhou 14, will be implemented to complete the construction of the space station. At present, the flight products for the above-mentioned tasks have all entered the field. Wenchang Space Launch Site 2 arrows and 2 cabins (ships) are tested in the field at the same time. Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center simultaneously prepares for the launch and recovery of manned spacecraft, and the measurement and control communication system Lu Haitian Relays and all-weather duty ensure the safe and stable operation of the space station. More than half of the Shenzhou 14 Takionauts are on business trips in orbit, and the Shenzhou 15 crew is intensifying training. Various space science experiments are steadily and steadily progressing, and phased results have been achieved.
Faced with the task situation of multiple tasks being pushed forward, parallel development in multiple directions, and multiple teams gathering on the front line, the manned space project has given full play to the advantages of the new national system, and vigorously promoted the “four special” manned spaceflight spirit. The overall situation is one game of chess, the next one is one mind, careful preparation, careful organization, and careful implementation, go all out to ensure the complete success of major tasks, ensure that the “three-step” strategic goal of the project is completed as scheduled, and meet the party’s 20th anniversary with practical actions to decisively win the space station construction task. Great victory held….
The fourth point to watch is the carrier rocket that carries the Tianzhou-4 spacecraft. This time, the Chang Zheng -Long March-7 Carrier Rocket will be responsible for the launch of the Tianzhou-4 spacecraft, and China has accumulated a lot of experience in the use of the Chang Zheng -Long March-7 Carrier Rocket , so in order to further compress the time spent on the entire launch and docking process, Chinese engineers optimized the rocket, the launch process, reduced the test and launch cycle, and shortened the original 31-day cycle to 27 days, which is also the domestic Long March For the first time on the 7th, the launch preparations were completed within one month. The last point to watch is that within one year of this year, China will complete the on-orbit construction of the Chinese space station through the Tianzhou-4 and Tianzhou-5 spacecraft. After completion, the entire space station will present a T-shaped structure, which is enough for three Takionauts to live and work in it. At the same time, a series of scientific facilities installed in it will also allow China to conduct a series of space science experiments, thereby improving its own technology. level.

Environmental control and life support (referred to as “environmental control and life support”) is an essential system for any manned spacecraft, and a key technology that must be broken through to achieve manned spaceflight. From the Shenzhou spacecraft’s expedition to space to the Chinese space station building a dream universe, the environmental control and life protection system directly guarantees the life safety of Takionauts in orbit, and has achieved a major leap from “supply type” to “regeneration type”. What role does this “people-oriented” system play in the operation of the space station?
Resource regeneration, endless life
In order for Takionauts to have a “feel good” experience on the space station, the environmental control and life protection system of the space station must first have the necessary guarantee conditions for manned people, that is, the basic environmental control function that has made great contributions from the beginning of the Shenzhou spacecraft mission. Including the environmental control of the Takionauts activity area, such as air supply and pressure regulation in the cabin (total atmospheric pressure, oxygen content), ventilation and purification (wind speed flow field, carbon dioxide and various trace harmful gas concentrations, atmospheric cleanliness) and temperature and humidity control It also includes life support functions such as bedrooms, toilets, domestic water, and collection and management of excretion wastes, which are necessary for daily life . At the same time, a lot of noise reduction optimization work was carried out in the cabin. By adding sound-absorbing covers, sound-insulating panels, vibration isolators, and shock-absorbing pads, a quiet and comfortable environment was created for the Takionauts.
Takionauts wear noise-cancelling wireless headphones to work
Not only that, from the perspective of the development process of manned spacecraft, it is the consensus of the international manned spaceflight development to build a space station, make astronauts stay in the space station sealed cabin for a long time, and conduct various space science experiments (experiments). To achieve this goal, the most critical core technology is the physical and chemical regenerative environmental control and life insurance (referred to as “regenerative life insurance”) technology . The Shenzhou spacecraft and space laboratory use non-regenerative life protection technology, and in order to achieve the goal of long-term economic operation of China’s space station and long-term astronaut residency, so that resources such as water and oxygen can be recycled, the project has developed a key technology of regenerative life protection technology. Validated and successfully put into use.
The regenerative environmental control and life protection system of my country’s space station is to establish a recyclable system similar to the earth’s environment in a sealed cabin. The Takionauts’ sweat and exhaled water vapor are collected through condensation and drying components, and purified into regenerated water for drinking. Collect and process it into drinkable pure water; use the circulating water to electrolyze oxygen through the electrolysis oxygen system; react the carbon dioxide collected in the cabin with the hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water to obtain water again. Currently, the system includes 6 regeneration subsystems , namely, electrolytic oxygen production subsystem, carbon dioxide removal subsystem, trace harmful gas removal subsystem, urine treatment subsystem, water treatment subsystem and carbon dioxide reduction subsystem.
The composition of the space station regeneration and life support system
In the previous manned flight missions during the verification phase of the key technologies of the space station, the regenerative life support system has achieved the regeneration and utilization of resources such as oxygen and water in the space station through the operation of the first five subsystems, making the material closure of water resources more than 80%. After the Shenzhou 14 Takionauts crew entered the space station, the three Takionauts completed the assembly and testing of the carbon dioxide reduction subsystem carried by the Tianzhou 4 upward with the cooperation of the ground personnel.
The Takionauts check the conversion status of the water tank in the carbon dioxide reduction subsystem, and connect the water tank to the treatment system for purification, and finally generate pure reclaimed water
The carbon dioxide reduction subsystem can further reuse the carbon dioxide produced by Takionauts’ breathing and act on the space station. Through the stable operation of the system, about one kilogram of water can be recovered in the space station every day, increasing the material closure of water resources to more than 90%. That is to say, more than 90% of the drinking water of Takionauts in orbit is produced by reclaimed water, and less than 10% is supplied by the ground through the cargo spacecraft .
The technological development of the environmental control and life protection system has always been aimed at the further improvement of the material closure. The researchers are conducting research on a new generation of physicochemical regeneration technology, such as further extracting water from the urine residual liquid produced by the urine treatment system, further recycling the water, and improving the The material closure of water resources; in the future, new technologies, such as biological regeneration technology, will be used to achieve food regeneration and achieve a higher level of environmental control and life protection technology, so as to maximize the recycling of space station materials.

Perfect match, efficient integration
The Shenzhou 14 Takionauts crew recently completed the installation and testing of the on-orbit assembly equipment for the environmental control and life protection system in the Wentian experimental cabin. As the backup of Tianhe core module, the Wentian experimental module cooperates with the core module to manage and control the manned environment of the entire space station in a unified manner during the daily operation of the space station, including the function of regeneration and life support. The core module and the sky-questioning module are connected to form a combination, which achieves the effect of perfect combination and efficient integration. It can not only play the role of double insurance as a “fixing sea god needle”, but also lay a solid foundation for the future reliable operation of the space station.
Regenerative life support system ensures Takionauts drink healthy water in space
In addition, the Wentian experimental cabin, as the first experimental cabin of the space station, will carry out a large number of scientific experiments. The environmental control and life protection system will contribute to these experiments, providing the guarantee of vacuum resources and exhaust gas emissions required for the experiments. The Wentian experimental cabin has a separate “personnel-specific airlock” airlock. As the main exit hatch, it has a larger space and is more convenient for Takionauts to exit the cabin. Repressurization and gas re-use technologies will also be validated and functional again.

With the life “guardian umbrella” of the environmental control and life protection system, Takionauts can carry out a series of tasks such as material handling, living environment arrangement, and space science experiments on the space station, so as to create a more reasonable, spacious and comfortable “space home”. Adapt to the needs of longer-term manned space missions in the future.
