(Express for the two sessions) Zhao Xiaojin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, announced the order of the 6 launch missions of the Chinese Space Station in 2022
China News Service, Beijing, March 4th (Ma Shuisha) Zhao Xiaojin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said in Beijing recently that the Chinese space station will be transferred to the construction stage in 2022, and Tianzhou-4 will be launched in sequence. , Shenzhou No. 14, Wentian Experimental Module, Mengtian Experimental Module, Tianzhou No. 5 and Shenzhou No. 15. After the construction is completed, the space for activities in the capsule will exceed 110 cubic meters, and two space vehicles will be configured. Crew exit hatch and 1 cargo airlock.
Zhao Xiaojin pointed out that it is expected that in April this year, after the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew stays in orbit for 6 months and returns to the ground, the researchers will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the verification of the entire key technology of the space station. After the results meet the requirements, the space station will be transferred. into the construction phase.
"In the construction phase of the space station, six spacecraft, Tianzhou-4, Shenzhou-14, Wentian experimental module, Mengtian experimental module, Tianzhou-5 and Shenzhou-15, will be launched in sequence, and the Wentian experimental module will be completed in a manned state. , The rendezvous and docking of the Mengtian experimental module and the core module will finally complete the construction of the T-shaped space station; after the construction is completed, the functional performance will be tested on-orbit, and then transferred to the operation stage." Zhao Xiaojin said.
He also revealed that after the completion of the construction of the Chinese space station, it will continue to carry out astronaut residency and multi-domain space science and technology experiments (tests). , can achieve long-term 3 people, short-term 6 people resident.
In addition, the Chinese space station will also be equipped with the core cabin node cabin and the Wentian experimental cabin airlock cabin, 2 astronaut exit hatches, and the Mengtian experimental cabin airlock cabin and a cargo airlock cabin; a large robotic arm and A small robotic arm, which can be used alone or in combination, to ensure astronauts and cargo exit, extravehicular load installation, care and other tasks.
