Decoding cabin space suit: miniature spacecraft out of the cabin activity

CCTV News: Every time out of the cabin, astronauts are wearing the "Feitian" cabin independently developed by my country. So, what kind of agency buttons are there of this "flying shirt"? What role do they have? The reporter walked into the China Aerospace Council Center and took you to decoding off -cabin space clothes.

The 130 kg of the cabin is an armor in the cabin. It is a miniature spacecraft. After a certain pressure, it can protect the safety of the aerospace staff and resist the high and low temperature, strong radiation, etc. of outer space.

The CCTV reporter Liu Jie: This is the off -space clothing used by the astronauts. We saw a special design: on some equipment on the chest of clothing, the text logo was reversed. The reason why this design is because the astronauts observe some equipment on the chest through the window, there are blind spots in the field of vision. At this time, astronauts can observe through reflective mirrors on the gloves. After the mirror, the words the astronauts see are positive, which is convenient for astronauts to recognize and operate.

The electric console equipment on the chest is the "brain", which is the core of the electrical system with clothing pumps, power supply, fan, lighting, radio switch, etc. The liquid temperature handle at the bottom left of the electric console can regulate the comfort of the internal temperature of the space suit. Line next to the liquid temperature handle is the switch of oxygen supply and emergency equipment.

Liao Qianfang, the overall director of the Aerospace suit of China Aerospace Council: This small gray tool, the astronauts need to complete the clothing of the clothing independently. Pull the rope to close the backpack, then turn off the entire clothing through the lock arm handle here.

Outreach safety rope traction weight can reach tons level

These two conspicuous orange ropes are the safety devices that need to be connected to the outside of the cabin during the climbing of the space officer when climbing outside the cabin. One is a spring rope, and the other is a slightly short -fixed security rope. It can achieve the movement and climbing of the astronauts by repeatedly hooking these two security ropes. The weight of the safety rope traction can reach the ton level.

Liao Qianfang, the overall director of the Aerospace Server of the China Aerospace Council: We installed a drinking water bag in it. During the operation, he could drink drinks as long as he bowed his head. The mask is guaranteed through our design and the temperature and humidity control inside. They also apply a layer of anti -fog agent inside the window before the cabin to prevent fog. Because the clothing does not have the function of actively heating, when in the shadow area, they sometimes feel a little cool. We have made a improvement so that the astronauts will not feel too cold in the shadow area.

The height of 1.6-1.8 meters after the space suit is adjusted

The exquisite design also makes the space suit more and more flexible. The helmet and the trunk are integrated, the limbs can be adjusted, and the bionic structure is used, and the qi bearing is used at the joints of the upper and lower limbs to make the joint movement more freely. Compared with the first out of the cabin on September 1st, the astronauts who came out of the cabin event were different. However, this does not affect the use of the space clothes outside the cabin. By adjusting, it can adapt to human parameters with different heights and weight. Aerospaces from 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters can be worn and used.

There are currently three sets of space clothes on the track, two masters. These three sets of aerospace clothing go to the space station through Tianzhou II and Tianzhou 3, respectively for astronauts to rotate in space.
