At 23:08 on November 29, 2022, Hong Kong SAR – Beijing time, the Long March 2F Yao 15 carrier rocket carrying the 神舟五十五  manned spacecraft was at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center After ignition and launch, about 10 minutes later, the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft was successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. The crew of the Takionauts was in good condition, and the launch was a complete success.

After the spacecraft enters orbit, it will conduct autonomous and fast rendezvous and docking with the space station assembly according to the predetermined procedures, and the crew of Shenzhou 15 and the Takionauts crew of Shenzhou 14 will perform on-orbit rotation. During the working and living period of the space station, the crew of astronauts will carry out multiple out-of-cabin activities to complete various tasks such as installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of equipment inside and outside the cabin, assembly management, and space science and technology experiments (tests).


This is the 27th mission since the establishment of my country’s manned spaceflight project, and it is also the fourth manned mission after entering the space station stage. The success of this launch marks the successful completion of all 12 launch missions planned for the key technology verification and construction stages of the space station. Since the launch of the Tianhe core module at the end of April 2021, the whole line of the project has fully carried forward the advantages of the new national system and vigorously promoted the “four special” manned spaceflight spirit. It has always insisted on careful preparation, careful organization and careful implementation. In one month, we have successfully organized 3 space station cabins, 4 manned spacecraft and 4 cargo spacecraft launches at the Wenchang and Jiuquan launch sites. The shortest interval between two missions at the same launch site is only 12 days. The 30-year-old manned spaceflight project, with its excellent record of successive victories and complete missions, has run out of the “acceleration” of China’s spaceflight on the new journey of exploring the vast universe.

The CNSA –China National Space Administration    China Space Station Mengtian Experiment Module and the space station combination completed the rendezvous and docking in orbit After the space station Mengtian Experiment Module was launched into orbit, at 4:27 on November 1st Tuesday, 2022 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time, On the 3rd November 2022 Morning 0932 Morning Hong Kong SAR –Beijing time The “T” shape is assembled! The space station Mengtian experimental module successfully completed the transposition China Space Station T-shaped basic configuration on-orbit assembly completed Beijing time on November 3, 2022 at 9:32; the space station Mengtian experimental module successfully completed the transposition.

“Mengtian” black technology丨Unlock the new experience of automatic cargo entry and exit!

On October 31, when the whole country was studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Mengtian experimental module of the Chinese space station was successfully launched by the Long March 5B carrier rocket. With the successful docking and repositioning of “Mengtian”, the basic configuration of the “T” character of the Chinese space station has been assembled in orbit! During the launch mission, a series of high-tech aerospace technology helped “Mengtian” realize its dream. We set up a column of “”Mengtian” black technology” to interpret some representative technologies and products, and to demonstrate the innovative achievements of aerospace science and technology for high-level self-reliance and creating a better life.

“Building a station for application” is the starting point and goal of my country’s construction of a space station. Since the construction of my country’s space station, the crew of astronauts has carried out a number of scientific and technological experiments and research, and successfully carried out many out-of-cabin activities.

​Like
the Wentian Experimental Cabin, the Mengtian Experimental Cabin also has an airlock. But the difference is that the airlock of the Mengtian Experimental Module is no longer used for astronauts to leave the cabin, but a channel dedicated to supplying goods in and out of the cabin .

​If
the airlock of the Wentian experimental module is compared to an “international airport”, then the cargo airlock configured on the Mengtian experimental module is the “international cargo port” of the space station. Through this “port”, a series of new technologies such as the automatic loading and unloading technology of China’s space station and the in-orbit release of small satellites will be unveiled for the first time, realizing the fully automatic interaction of cargo and payloads inside and outside the space station cabin, not only sending out, but also receiving them. , but also shipped fast and stable .

Mengtian Experimental Cabin
Mengtian experimental cabin transfer

​

​The most powerful “logistics guarantee”

​Building a space station “international cargo port”

​

​In the past With the completion of the national space laboratory, the space station has entered the stage of normal operation, and large-scale scientific research will be carried out. How to conduct extravehicular scientific experiments more efficiently and safely, and further improve the scientific application capabilities of China’s space station , has become an urgent need solved problem.

To this end, the designers proposed the concept of automatic cargo entry and exit— a load transfer mechanism dedicated to loads and cargoes was installed in the Mengtian experimental cabin, which is responsible for transferring cargo into and out of the cabin . Mengtian’s airlock has two doors, one is the inner door connecting the working cabin, and the other is the outer door connecting the outer space. Inside the 2 doors, a load transfer mechanism is installed.

Usually, the load transfer mechanism is parked in the airlock of the Mengtian experimental cabin. When the task of leaving the cabin is received, the inner cabin door will be opened, and the load transfer mechanism will go to the working cabin, which will be completed by the astronauts in the Mengtian working cabin. Assemble the scientific experiment load and place it on the load transfer mechanism.

Subsequently, the transfer mechanism will be smoothly retracted from the working cabin to the airlock. After the astronauts close the inner hatch, they can see the working conditions of the load transfer mechanism through the porthole on the hatch. Everything is ready, the outer electric hatch of the airlock will be opened, the load transfer mechanism will transfer the scientific experiment load to the hatch, and the mechanical arm outside the cabin will grab the load and install it outside the cabin. The whole action will be completed in one go. In order to ensure the air pressure, temperature and other environment in the cabin, the doors on both sides cannot be opened at the same time, and there is no need to worry about accidental touches, because the outer door will only be opened when all conditions are met and the ground command is received.

It is understood that the delivery capacity of the load transfer mechanism can reach 400 kilograms, and the envelope of a single delivery can reach 1.15 meters x 1.2 meters x 0.9 meters . In order to meet the enveloping requirements for incoming and outgoing cargo, the outer door of the cargo airlock is as wide as 1.2 meters . This is also the first time that the square hatch has appeared on China’s space station. The hatch adopts a fully automatic sliding design, and the switch is controlled by sending commands from the ground. It is the key equipment for isolating the space environment inside and outside the cabin.

​In order to provide a comfortable experience for scientific experiment loads to go out of the cabin, the load transfer mechanism must not only run stably, go far, and stop accurately, but also realize the unique configuration and layout of China’s space station by turning from 0° to 90° The lower load enters and exits the cabin function , so that it can not only lead to the working cabin, but also extend out of the airlock cabin.
 

Stable running , the load transfer mechanism has variable speed start-stop control capabilities, so that the scientific experiment load can achieve a smooth transition during the riding process, whether it is linear motion or rotary motion, and will not be frustrated by sudden braking. , Cargo brings a safe and comfortable ride experience.

Going far , in order to facilitate the astronauts to install and disassemble the cargo in the working cabin, the load transfer mechanism adopts a special transmission mechanism combination design to achieve large-stroke movement. A series of operations for loading out of the cabin can be completed.

Stop accurately , and when it reaches the hatch, the load transfer mechanism can stop immediately and precisely lock the position and attitude. At this time, the mechanical arm outside the cabin will escort the scientific experiment load to the outside of the cabin for scientific exploration.

​

​The most cutting-edge “space station”

Let small satellites explore the great mysteries of the universe

In addition to realizing the function of automatic entry and exit of loads and cargo, the load transfer mechanism also provides “VIP boxes” for cube satellites and micro-satellites to realize “space tourism” , which is the tiny aircraft release mechanism configured in the Mengtian experimental cabin . With this China’s space station can be transformed into a “space station” to provide the most cutting-edge starting point for the release of cubesats and microsatellites.

Normally, the release mechanism is stored in the cabin in the form of components. When it is necessary to perform the task of releasing a small satellite, astronauts can assemble it on-orbit according to the specifications of the cubesat. The single maximum passenger capacity of a “box” is 36U CubeSat or 100kg-class microsatellite (CubeSat uses U as the basic unit, and the volume of 1U is 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) .

After the installation of the cube star is completed, the “box” is transferred to the outside of the cabin by the load transfer mechanism. Then, the extravehicular robotic arm grabs the release mechanism and adjusts the attitude of the release mechanism. When it shifts to the launch direction of the cubesat or microsatellite, the release mechanism is like a slingshot, ejecting the small satellites at a specified speed in sequence, so that Satellites start their space journeys safely and securely.

On the 9th November 2022 1455 Hour Hong Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration       Tianzhou-4  advance cargo spacecraft successfully evacuated from the space station complex….The latest news from the China Manned Space Office the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft that had completed its scheduled mission successfully evacuated the space station complex and transferred to Independent flight stage.

Tianzhou-4 left the space home port and saw for the first time China, which has completed the construction of the basic “T” shape. space station. Beautiful, majestic and spectacular, this beautiful picture will accompany the Chinese people every step of the way to explore the deep space….

This is the large amount of goods that Tianzhou-4 will bring to the Chinese space station. For Takionauts, these goods are comparable to a real gift package. Tianzhou-4 is loaded with Takionauts. Systems, space station systems and space applications, as well as cargo spacecraft systems totalling more than 200 sets of cargo, including packaged packages and direct-installed cargo, as well as 750 kg of additional propellant for the space station, the reason for the increase in propulsion The reason is that the space station needs to use propellant frequently to adjust its attitude while maintaining its orbital altitude during operation, otherwise it will continue to lose orbital altitude. In addition to the loading of goods, Chinese aerospace engineers have also made a series of unique innovations. By adding labels and colored handles, astronauts can easily find the required packages on orbit. Greatly improve the efficiency of cargo transportation and use.

The Tianzhou-4 spacecraft itself is the second point of interest. It is a cargo spacecraft with the largest active transportation capacity and the most comprehensive on-orbit support capability in China. Therefore, the spacecraft was successfully launched and provided material support for the Shenzhou-14 crew. Space station operation support and scientific experiments, this series of actions can effectively verify China’s technical level in the design and manufacture of cargo spacecraft. The third point to watch is the docking of the Tianzhou 4 spacecraft and the Chinese space station. Although the docking of the spacecraft seems to be very light from the TV broadcast, in fact, every spacecraft flying in space orbits is in the Exceeding the first cosmic speed, which is 7.9 kilometers per second, and its weight is often more than 10 tons or even 10 tons, the energy contained in it is very huge. How to accurately control the two spacecraft to achieve precise alignment and safe connection? It is quite a test of the docking mechanism of the cargo spacecraft. In order to achieve this effect, Chinese designers have successfully used the idea of ​​controllable damping through a large number of technical research and program demonstrations to realize the safe docking of the spacecraft through buffer facilities.


The Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft was launched into orbit at the Wenchang launch site in Hainan on May 10, 2022, sending about 6 tons of supplies to the space station. At present, the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft is in good condition, and it will re-enter the atmosphere in a controlled manner.

On a Cloudy rainy filed day of 9th November 2022 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time in Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center ….. CNSA –China National Space Administration    At Wenchang Space Launch Centre – Hainan Province China, People’s Republic of China There is a surprise! 天州5 carries two batches of Takionaut crew gifts…. This morning, at the Wenchang space launch site, the Tianzhou 5 ship and arrow combination is undergoing vertical transfer…… The reporter learned at the scene that in addition to carrying the Takionauts’ personal supplies and experimental instruments for work, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft also specially prepared a Spring Festival gift package for them, as well as two crews of Shenzhou 14 and Shenzhou 15 at the space station. A gift for handover….This morning, at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft and the Long March 7 Yao-6 carrier rocket combination are undergoing vertical transportation. The vertical transfer work starts at about 8:00 in the morning, and the entire transfer is expected to take about two and a half hours. The vertical transfer also marks that the final assembly and testing work in the technical area has been completed in the early stage, and will officially enter the launch preparation stage….
