[Explanation] The 14th China International Aviation and Aerospace Expo (China Air Show) is being held in Zhuhai, Guangdong. More than 740 companies from 43 countries and regions participated in online and offline exhibitions. A group of new products representing the world's advanced level "first launched show".
[Explanation] The reporter saw at the scene that many national weapons made a "wonderful appearance".
Among them, the Chinese space station composite display module exhibited for the first time attracted a large number of audiences to stop and watch.
Not long ago, the basic configuration of the "T" shape of the Chinese space station was assembled in orbit.
At this air show, the space station display module will be presented to the audience in the form of a 1:1 model.

The Chinese space station consists of three modules, namely Tianhe core module, Wentian experimental module and Mengtian experimental module.
Then the entire construction of the space station is also aimed at eventually building a national-level space laboratory, which is to make full use of the space environment such as microgravity and high radiation in space to carry out some cutting-edge scientific experiments.
Then, the display module assembly of the space station on display here is 1:1 with the actual space station flying in orbit, and then a display module assembly whose shape and layout are highly restored.
[Explanation] According to reports, in addition to the display in the "T" shape, the supporting equipment, including the experimental cabinets in the cabin, have been carefully designed. The production of the entire display cabin lasted more than 3 months.
The audience can walk into the display cabin and experience the "Space House" immersively.

The area where we are now is the cabin of the Tianhe core cabin. The Tianhe core cabin is divided into two parts. Now the more spacious place is called the large column section, where astronauts do experimental loads in the sky, and there are A place to work and live.
When you get to the front, you will see the small column section of the core cabin, which is the area where he lives.
Therefore, in the large column section, there is a human system (research) cabinet in the load area, and then some physiological performance of human beings in the state of weightlessness in space can be studied.
Then there is a high microgravity experimental cabinet, and then there is a space centrifuge in it, which can be used in the form of centrifugation, and then measure these properties of the material in the centrifugal state.
This area is the area where astronauts work. You can check some states of the space station through instruments, such as its running trajectory, and then some key parameters and remaining resources of some cabins.
This area is the sleeping area of the astronauts, and then each sleeping area has a sleeping bag. When the astronauts sleep, they sleep in the sleeping bag, zip up the zipper, and then fix it in the sleeping bag for sleeping.
Each sleeping area is also equipped with a porthole, through which astronauts can observe the scene outside the window.
The area where we are now is the Wentian experimental cabin. The Wentian experimental cabin is visually larger and more spacious than the Tianhe core cabin, so its ability to support loads, as well as space, and space life In terms of space, the support capability is stronger.
[Explanation] It is understood that the Chinese space station has more than 110 cubic meters of activity space in the cabin, equipped with 2 astronaut exit hatches and 1 cargo airlock, and provides 6 sleeping areas.

For astronauts sleeping, no matter how to sleep on the side or the top, because there is no gravity in space, the experience is the same, and then the design of the top and side is mainly considering the optimization of the layout space, because this It can save more space in the cabin.
[Explanation] It is reported that in order to facilitate the visit, the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group has planned a tour route for the display cabin, taking into account the integrity of the cabin and the smoothness of the flow of people, to maximize the exhibition effect and personnel safety.
