I love how China is building the space station by itself, it’s not bound by much restrictions, unlike the ISS, too many countries have to agree on one little proposal, basically making any progress or changes way too long to actually complete, NICELY DONE CHINA!!!

Incredible that there are some humble folks doing something quietly high up there in the shadows when Mao once said that China couldn't even lob a potato into space, considering that those folks were once in rags and tatters. They truly have gone far, really really far 👍👍

This is a great video! I was wandering about the airlock, since cutting off the different sections from each other looked like a design flaw. This is the first time I heard Wentian would have an airlock of its own to be used as the main one.

@DongfangHour 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Nikola! Yeah it makes a lot of sense. A extra thought: it will make for better photos as well, as the airlock on Wentian will be facing the Earth (so the astronauts' backs generally won't be facing the sun).

Hey Hana, a good place to look is the CSS Science and Experiments Handbook www.cmse.gov.cn/gfgg/201904/P020200225328481496691.pdf It's available only in Chinese though (but you can run it through a translation software) You also have the first wave of international experiments accepted on-board the CSS here: www.unoosa.org/documents/doc/psa/hsti/CSS_1stAO/1stAO_FinSelResults.pdf

can/will china add another multi docking nodule to expand the station further?

@ex0duzz 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty sure they can, it's a modular design after all. But if they will is another story. If they need to in future they will, but afaik they already have the plan from years ago and they are sticking to it for now at least.

@DongfangHour 2 жыл бұрын

The Chinese did have a backup Tianhe core module on the ground, in case the one in orbit failed or was not performing as planned. There have been no official statements on what this 2nd core module will become, but it is possible that they use it to extend the station.

question about the chinese space station: is there any technical limitation that would prevent the engineers from further enlarging the size?

@wyt168 2 жыл бұрын

If you mean whether they can add more modules hence increasing the physical size of the station--yes, they can, and there is an expansion plan to add another core module (possibly the backup module for Tianhe) and two additional lab modules, making it a 6-module space station.

@楠君甜 I think the progress of the Chinese space program is actually beneficial to the West (as much as it is for China), because it drives the American "healthy competition mindset" and thus drives American progress and investment in space technology. It's a plus-plus for everyone :-) Really eager to see what China will accomplish in the next few years!

@liongjiahwong5478 Ай бұрын

This belongs to the American MSM..today many idiots still think China stole the space station technologies from America.
