China News Service, Xi'an, June 5 (Yang Yingqi) At 10:44 on June 5, the Long March 2 F Yao 14 carrier rocket was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft successfully entered the predetermined orbit. Escorted three astronauts into the "Space Home".
The Fourth Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Fourth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology) has undertaken the development and production of all power units for the rocket escape and rescue system, known as the "Tower of Life" for the astronauts in this launch, to escort the astronauts.
According to reports, the rocket escape tower is located on the top of the Long March 2 F Yao 14 launch vehicle.
The solid rocket motor of the escape and life-saving system has the characteristics of generating huge thrust in an instant.
Once the rocket has a major failure that endangers the life of the astronauts during the launch phase, it will bring the capsule carrying the astronauts to a safe area two to three kilometers away in about two seconds, helping the astronauts instantly Escape safely, so it is also known as the "lifeboat" on the rocket.
Since the official launch of China's manned spaceflight project in 1992, the rocket escape and life-saving system developed by the Fourth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology has successively participated in the launch missions from Shenzhou-1 to Shenzhou-14.
According to the Fourth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, the 42 institutes of the academy provided all dynamic and static structures and mechanical seals for the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft, and provided cabins and cabins for the Wentian and Mengtian experimental modules to be launched in the future. Door dynamic and static seal products to ensure the safety of astronauts and the normal operation of instruments in the cabin.
The institute also undertakes the development and production of all rubber parts on extravehicular spacesuits, mainly including three types of products, including the main airtight layer of the extravehicular spacesuit, rubber parts for gloves, and joint seals.
In addition, the carbon dioxide adsorption drug disc developed by the Fourth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology can absorb the carbon dioxide produced by the astronauts' metabolism in the space suit, ensuring their safety and health.
The institute has also developed a poop bag cover assembly for the "space toilet" of the space station, which is mainly used for the sterilization of the daily excrement of the space station astronauts.
These items have previously been transported to the space station with the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft.
It is reported that the Shenzhou 14 flight mission is the first manned flight mission during the construction phase of the Chinese space station. During the mission, the construction of the Tiangong space station with the basic configuration of Tianhe core module, Wentian experimental module and Mengtian experimental module will be fully completed. Build the National Space Laboratory.
