Chinese astronauts will install wireless WiFi equipment on the morning of the 18th

Yesterday afternoon at 15:54, Shenzhou 12 and days and the core module to complete the independent rapid rendezvous and docking. 18:48, astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Booming and Tang Hongbo have entered the core module.

After entering the space station, the astronauts first to do? And this morning there are those work arrangements?

Beijing Space Flight Control Center space station task master Sun Jun introduced, astronauts into the space station, the first step to do is to set up electrolysis oxygen gear, install water tanks, to solve the water draught, mainly and basic life related to some of the work. In addition they have to organize the sleeping area.

In addition, the astronaut crew will have to go into the cargo spacecraft and bring some items from the cargo spacecraft to the core module for installation. Wireless WiFi equipment has been brought to space, the astronaut crew plans to install the morning of the 18th.

Sun Jun introduced, our network in the sky and the ground network is connected into one. With WiFi, the astronauts will be able to communicate smoothly and make video calls with the ground crew, and even their families.

WiFi coverage: whole house smart home

Space and Earth calls: you can also "private chat" with your family

In order to improve the "comfort" of astronaut life in space, Chinese designers have reserved a relatively ample living environment for astronauts, the cabin activity space from 15 cubic meters of Tiangong-1 to 110 cubic meters of the entire station, simply from the "tube room" into the "large flat". The "large flat floor".

With the continuous leap of wireless communication and Internet of Things technology in China over the past 10 years, the designers have upgraded the previous overall design scheme and adopted new information technology to give the Chinese space station "mobile WiFi" and create a smart home living space.

In the Chinese space station, designers prepared a handheld terminal for each astronaut, astronauts can adjust the cabin lighting environment according to their personal needs through the APP, sleep mode, work mode, sports mode ...... different cabin lights, can adjust the mood of astronauts to avoid the monotonous environment for a long time brought about by discomfort.

Just on the cabin lighting environment and temperature environment, the designers have conducted a number of experiences, repeated verification and adjustment, as far as possible to make a long stay in space astronauts have a comfortable life feeling.

In previous manned spaceflight activities, the call between heaven and earth is a "traditional project". In the operation of the Chinese space station, the designers will reserve a private voice channel for astronauts, where they can call their families to "whisper" and share their moods about life in space.

Usually, astronauts are wearing bone conduction headphones, the cabin WiFi can facilitate them to talk to each other in all sections of the station, and they can also talk to the ground in any position.

Functional partitioning: ensuring "privacy" and "convenience"

In line with the "humanized" design concept, the Chinese space station has set up a living area and a working area. In the living area, there are independent sleeping areas, hygiene areas, exercise areas, as well as space kitchens and dining areas. In the design of the maximum consideration to privacy and convenience, greatly improving the quality of astronaut life in space.

In space, astronauts can also achieve the "freedom to sleep", to enjoy an independent sleep area, to ensure that sleep is not disturbed. Although they still have to put themselves "in the sleeping bag", but has achieved the change from "stand to sleep" to "lie down to sleep". Separate sleeping area can make astronauts more relaxed, enjoy relatively high quality sleep, so that their work and life in space more "full of energy".

Although astronauts can not enjoy the same showers and baths as on Earth, but each person can be in a "wrap-around shower", holding a spray gun, wipe themselves clean, the maximum solution to the problem of personal hygiene.

Verification of regenerative life preservation technology, this time we want to "eat crabs"

Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned space engineering, introduced the space station in order to long-term, economic operation, so as far as possible to achieve the station's material flow of recycling. For regenerative technology, we have done a relatively long time of research, we have done in the early stage, such as Tiangong 1, when the components of the on-orbit test, we also managed to simulate some conditions in space to verify the technology, but the key point of regenerative technology, it is to operate reliably in a long-term weightless environment of a technology, must be involved in order to be able to truly verify, and If it is necessary to adjust the parameters in orbit or replace the consumables, it is necessary for people to complete directly, they are the first to complete this task.
