China's Manned Space Program and Tiengong Space Station
Space exploration has been one of the greatest dreams of humanity. One of the most remarkable developments in this field in recent years is, China's Manned Space Program (CMSA) are the projects carried out. Especially Tiengong Space Station, is at the center of these projects and opens the door to a new era in space exploration.
Taikonauts' Space Walk
Finally, the taikonauts Cay Suci ve Song Lingdong, successfully completed their first spacewalk outside the station. This spacewalk totaled approximately 8,5 hours and the taikonauts performed many important operations with the help of the orbiting station's robotic arm. This On China's space station It was the 19th spacewalk and the second extravehicular activity of the taikonaut team participating in the Shinjuku-19 mission.
What is the Tiengong Space Station?
Tiengong, ie Sky Palace, is a product of China's efforts to establish its own space station. The US's ban on cooperation in space exploration and its participation in the International Space Station (ISS) program has led China to take steps in this direction. Tiengong consists of a core module and two laboratory modules. A space telescope is also planned to be added in the future.
Structural Features of the Station
Tiengong Space Station, Russia's Mir Space Station It was built using the model. The main part of the station is Tienhi (Celestial Harmony) module was launched on April 29, 2021. Then, the first laboratory module Vintien (Searching for the Skies) On July 24, 2022, the second laboratory module Mingtien (Dreaming of the Skies) was sent into space on October 31, 2022. By combining the modules, the station T shaped The main skeleton is complete. Now, to the implementation and development phase has been passed.
Space Telescope and Future Plans
China aims to go further in space exploration. In this context, Shuntien The space telescope called (Traveling the Heavens) is planned to be added to the Tiengong Space Station. This telescope will be used to explore the depths of the universe and obtain new scientific data.
Taikonaut Duties and Supply Processes
Tiengong Space Station operates with a rotational crew of 3 taikonauts. Shinco (Holy Ship) shuttles to the station with personnel, Tiencou (Sky Ship) shuttles carry supplies. These regular supply processes ensure the station's continuous operation and enable scientific research.
China's Role in Space Exploration
China has an increasing activity in the field of space research. In particular, the projects it has carried out in recent years have increased its claim in this field. The Tiengong Space Station stands out as one of the most important examples of these projects. With space walks, laboratory modules and the future space telescope, China has become an important actor in the international arena.
As a result
China's Manned Space Program and the Tiengong Space Station are an important milestone in space exploration. The activities carried out by taikonauts show how rapidly developments in this field are progressing. In the future, China's role in space exploration will increase even more and humanity's interest in space will continue.
