At 14:22 on July 24th, the Long March 5 Yao Three Launar Rockets equipped with the Tiantian Experimental Cel was launched at the Wenchang Aerospace launcher in my country. This question is the first time that the launch of the experimental compartment is the first time the space station has greeted the spacecraft's visit.

It is understood that the Tian Tian experimental cabin is configured with the same aerospace living facilities as the core compartment, including 3 sleep areas, 1 sanitary zone and kitchen facilities. It can ensure the life of the astronauts. During the rotation of the 14th and Shenzhou 15 flights, a total of 6 astronauts lived.

This is equivalent to sending "Space New Home" to the astronauts. Li Jinlin, chief designer of the overall trial of China Aerospace Scientific Research Training Center, introduced, "After asking the Tianjie Experimental Certificate and Tianhe Core Card formation combination, the most intuitive feelings of astronauts will be significantly larger internal space. Even more abundant. "

After the successful launch of the experimental compartment and completing the docking, the astronauts need to enter the cabin to formally "check in", and they need to go through several processes first.

First of all, you need to detect the atmospheric components in the cabin to meet the medical requirements in order to stay in.

"Among them, there are control of pressure in the cabin, temperature, humidity, and wind speed, and some work has been carried out since the ground." The Chinese Aerospace Council Research Training Center asked the chief designer of the Sky Experimental Card Environmental Control System System. Luo Yabin said.

In addition, the Tianhe Core Course and the Qi Tian experimental cabin have one cabin door at the docking, and there is a aisle between the two doors. After the two cabins are successfully connected, you need to check the cabin door and the docking position first and intact, and ensure that the pressure between the aisle must be balanced, so as to easily open the two cabins. The astronauts can officially enter the new space home of the Tiangtian experimental cabin to carry out work and life.
