div> The new generation of manned spaceship test ship successfully launched this time is the largest and heaviest spacecraft ever launched in China. This new spacecraft is also developed against the current international advanced manned spacecraft. China ’s Shenzhou spacecraft is specifically used to carry people, and the Tianzhou spacecraft is used to transport goods. What functions will the new spacecraft have?
Compared to the Shenzhou series of spaceships, the new generation of manned spaceships It is larger and has more internal space. It can be called a “space bus”. At the same time, according to mission requirements, it can be changed from a “space bus” to a “space truck” to deliver supplies to the space station, or to bring test samples from the space station back to Earth.
Yang Lei, the technical leader of the new-generation manned spacecraft test ship of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group: Because the new spacecraft has a larger return cabin, we can free up seats and provide some when the number of passengers is relatively small The space and capacity of cargo, so it can be flexibly allocated between people and freight.
Not only has the powerful ability to “carry people + freight”, The new generation manned spacecraft’s multi-purpose capabilities are also reflected in its ability to be used for low-Earth orbit transportation, supporting the construction of China’s space station, and shouldering the responsibility of manned moon landings and more distant deep space exploration.
New Generation Manned Spacecraft Test Ship Technology of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Technology Group Responsible person Yang Lei: After the Shenzhou spacecraft has reached maturity, in fact, the technology to and from the world needs constant development. Just like cars and airplanes, it needs constant updating. Our pace of exploring the future space will not stop at near-Earth space, we will have to go to further space exploration, such as going to the moon or to Mars, etc. This is to tow the new generation of spacecraft we developed.
