Shenzhou-22 will launch and dock uncrewed to Tiangong at Tianhe’s Earth-facing port.
According to ACC, the oven operates without burdening the Tianhe power grid and is designed to cook without producing smoke in a microgravity environment.
Currently, six crew members from Shenzhou 20 and Shenzhou 21 are on the Tianhe space station.
China tiene una estación espacial llamada Tiangong, que se ha expandido desde el lanzamiento de su núcleo Tianhe en 2021.
The Mengzhou-1 mission aims to dock with the Tianhe module while validating spacecraft performance and delivering and returning cargo.
The Nadir/Radial port of Tianhe will be occupied by Shenzhou-22 until it departs in early November 2026.
Mengzhou-1 will dock at the Nadir/Radial port of Tianhe.
Shenzhou XXI will perform a rapid autonomous rendezvous and docking with the Tianhe core module in under four hours after launch.
The Tiangong outpost, completed in late 2022, comprises the Tianhe core module and the Wentian and Mengtian laboratory modules, with a total mass of about 100 metric tons.
One of the planned activities during the Shenzhou-21 mission is to conduct spacewalks to install hardware and inspect the Tianhe, Wentian, and Mengtian modules.
Chen Dong supported Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie from inside the Tianhe module during the spacewalk.
Tang Hongbo previously completed a spacewalk during the Shenzhou-12 mission in July 2021, which was the first mission to visit the Tianhe core module.
China began constructing the Tiangong space station in 2021 with the launch of the Tianhe core module.
China began constructing the Chinese Space Station in 2021 with the launch of the Tianhe core module.
Tianhe, the Tiangong space station core module, was launched in April 2021 and provides the station's main propulsion, life support systems, and crew quarters while carrying a docking hub.
The Tianhe core module was launched in April 2021 and provides Tiangong’s main propulsion, life support systems, crew quarters, and a docking hub.
The Tianhe core module launched in April 2021 and the Tiangong complex culminated 10 launches later with Shenzhou-15 arriving at the completed T-shaped complex.
The Wentian module launched in July and was transpositioned from the forward docking port on Tianhe to the starboard port on 2022-09-30.
China had intended to launch the Tianhe core module in 2018 but a Long March 5 launch failure in 2017-07-01 and subsequent engine issues delayed the project.
Tianhe performed orbital adjustments earlier 2022-08 to prepare for the arrival of Wentian.
