At the China Space Station 400 kilometers away from the Earth, the Shenzhou 19 astronaut crew has already halfway through the schedule. During the Spring Festival, the three astronauts shared their experiences on business trips with everyone.
Cai Xuzhe: It is very kind and warm to return to the space station
Astronaut Cai Xuzhe:
After two years, I returned to the familiar space home, I felt very kind and warm.
In the past three months, we have completed the on-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou 18 astronaut crew, and carried out maintenance, living care and health protection of the space station platform as planned. In addition, we have completed two extra-cabin activities and carried out on-orbit training projects such as pressure emergency drills and medical rescue drills in the whole system. Training in these subjects can further improve our ability to deal with emergencies during our on-site period and carry out various tasks more securely and efficiently.
During the period in orbit, with the support of ground personnel, medical cytology experiments represented by advanced research on human brain organoids were completed. A new round of material out-of-cabin exposure experiments have been launched. Our crew also carried out regular replacement of relevant components and other operations to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment.
At present, the various space science experiments undertaken by our Crew Group are being steadily advanced. According to the plan, we will focus on space science research and technical experiments in the fields of space life science, microgravity basic physics, space materials science, aerospace medicine, and new aerospace technologies. We will work closely together, work together, and operate carefully to ensure the successful completion of subsequent tasks.
Song Lingdong: Space walk was shocked
Astronaut Song Lingdong:
In the past three months, we have successfully completed two out-of-cabin activities.
Before leaving the cabin, I had imagined many scenes when I left the cabin, but when I was really wearing a flying suit and opened the cabin door and saw the earth, I was still deeply shocked, especially when I climbed on the bulkhead, my feet were like stepping on the sea of clouds. While I appreciate the beauty of space, I also deeply feel the thickness and greatness of our career.
