The first cargo ship docked to the base module of the new Chinese orbital station

122

China has dispatched the first cargo ship to the new orbital station, which has successfully docked to the base module today. According to the Xinhua news agency with reference to the office of the Chinese manned space program, the spacecraft delivered almost 6 tons of various cargoes into orbit.

The Changzheng 7 launch vehicle was launched from the Wenchang Cosmodrome on Hainan Island on Saturday with the task of placing into orbit the Tianzhou 2 cargo ship carrying cargo for future Chinese astronauts who will work on the Chinese space station. one Tianhe module launched into space in April this year.




The first truck docked at the station carries 1,95 tons of fuel and 4,69 tons of other cargo needed to keep three people at the station for three months. The arrival of Chinese astronauts at the station is scheduled for June this year.

In total, within the framework of the creation of a three-module orbital station, China plans to make 2021 space launches in the period 2022-11. Two of them have already been completed: the base module of the station was launched into space first, and a cargo ship loaded with cargo was sent the second yesterday.

Currently, the base module of the Chinese orbital station is in orbit with parameters 360 by 385 kilometers and an inclination of 41,5 degrees. It works in automatic mode, all systems are functioning normally. It is noted that the module has already tested the performance of a 10-meter robotic arm, which will play a major role in the assembly of the station and the docking of ships.

        This is a new step in China's space program. And they can be commended for that.
        But, I would like to note that it is impossible to jump over the stages of development. And they catch up with the pioneers, going the beaten path.

        The USSR achieved results much earlier, with simpler (and more difficult to use) technologies. Let us recall Salyut (Salyut-1 - 1971), Mir, ISS and the planned new Russian station.

        The Americans, too, have been in space for a long time, while for them orbital stations began with the ISS joint with us. That is, Russia gave them the technology for a long-term stay of man in space in orbit, because this part of manned space exploration in the United States was not developed. But now they can do everything ...

        Modern technologies have stepped forward compared to the 70s, now it is easier for China. Automation, computing and manufacturing capabilities have changed dramatically.

        As far as Russia is concerned, do we need a rush with a strain of strength? In my opinion, despite some very serious problems in our space industry (yes, they are), on the whole, our country is acting rationally.
        We have been in space for a long time, an array of scientific knowledge has already been accumulated, and much can be done on its basis.
        The ISS is now providing a permanent presence in space, and a new station is being prepared.

        Satellites for various purposes are a separate issue, here it would be necessary to forcefully "push"!
        And manned space should develop evolutionarily, especially since there is a solid Russian groundwork.

              What is really funny is to seriously discuss stupid conspiracy theories, because this says a lot about the level of intellectual development of the opponent. I'll tell you a secret that there is another conspiracy theory - that Gagarin did not actually fly into space. This theory is probably not to your liking, is it? The level of evidence for this, if I may say so, "theory" is based on approximately the same argumentation as the denial of the reality of the Apollo program. For example, that there is not a single convincing video recording of the flight, there are no photographs of the Earth from space, and the very death of Gagarin for conspiracy theorists is a weighty argument in favor of falsifying the flight. Allegedly, Yuri was eliminated to hide the truth. However, for patriots, the lunar conspiracy theory is a kind of attempt at mental revanchism in view of the gradual departure of Russia to a secondary role in modern cosmonautics, in comparison with the space achievements of the Soviet Union. In this, in principle, there is nothing shameful, everyone achieves peace of mind with their own methods. lol

              There were no flights to the moon in the form that the Americans are pushing to us, but the "Skylab" was, however, again, not in the form that the Americans are pushing us. And they launched it strictly to substantiate the ability of Saturn to deliver the Apollo to the Moon, although what can prove the abandonment of an empty can, albeit a high-tech one, into orbit?

            So I will remind you. The first module of the new ROSS station has already been planned for a scientific and energy module, the new design of which has been tested for four years on various models.



            And the aircraft itself is on the slipway of the plant:

                The fact that work is now underway on this station and the module itself is at a high stage of production. In the meantime, we have the current ISS RS, which we will begin to expand by 15 cubic meters on July 70, and by another 24 on November 19.

                    The launches to the ISS are carried out sequentially. The NEM was transferred because the MLM module was transferred, which was supposed to be launched before it. Now both MLM-U Nauka and UM Prichal are practically ready for launch and will operate on the ISS for at least five years.

                    And NEM will become the main station of ROSS.

                      The "U" index in relation to MLM is simply touching. This prefix means "improved". And scientists and uncles with a clever look can tell tales for a long time about how many changes were made to the original project. But the chest just opens.
                      The fact is that the long-suffering module has been dangling on Earth for a quarter of a century, and Roskosmos paid for both its creation and testing a long time ago. But since there was no end in sight for the repair work at the facility, and new money was still needed, further work had to be carried out under the heading "modernization". That's when the letter "U" appeared in the name of the module. At the same time, no fundamental changes were made. Not to consider the heavily curtailed MLM functionality as such? There were some small changes (how can we do without them after the disastrous epic with tanks?). Which are now being passed off as something outstanding.

                          Milking the dull again. The letter "U" appeared only due to financial circumstances. For the RK has long ago chosen the entire monetary fund intended for work with "Science". Therefore, it took a fig leaf called "modernization". What is meant by this term - the installation of a platform or an extra washer with a nut on any node - is not important.
                          Everything came down only to the money already spent by the RK. And in the impossibility, because of this unfortunate fact, to carry out any subsequent work with the module.

                  Can't you deign to decipher the phrase "high stage of production"? In percentage terms, can you designate it? High is over 50%? Those. half the work has already been done? Is there a mere trifle left?
                  When I look at such rainbow pictures, a certain analogy arises. Similar pictures of one module were also constantly shown to us. For a quarter of a century. With promises that "soon ... very soon ... just a little bit more ...". As a result, the "Science" module is still found on Earth. And the abundance of beautiful pictures somehow did not contribute to its successful start.
                  By the way, how's it going with the insurance? Launch of Proton with MLM? After all, the epoch-making event is approaching. We are all looking forward to the launch of the module, which can finally fly, albeit with more than half the functionality cut down. Are there any foreign eccentrics ready to sponsor this adventure? Or will it be necessary to urgently create a domestic firm "Horns and Hooves" with a penny authorized capital? For in case of force majeure all costs will be paid by the Russian taxpayer anyway?

                      1. How is this why? If an uncle with big stars on his epaulettes breaks the news, may I ask for more details? Or are they not in the training manual?
                      2. I saw the launch year. And not only NEM. But also MLM, for example. But I will not be guided by these figures myself and I do not advise others. For at one time he firmly believed that "Science" will fly in 2009. How could I not believe FKA Roskomos? True, Rogozin was not yet there, there was no one to gamble.
                      Then he believed that the module would fly in 2012.
                      Then in 2014.
                      Then, when the epic with tanks began in 2017 and it turned out that we were not able to make new ones, the faith faded somewhat.
                      Then, in 2019, he perked up again after learning about a feint with his ears with frigate tanks.
                      Then he agreed with the setting of additional filters.
                      Now everyone is waiting for the summer start.

          Before you post nonsense, study the subject.
          OS "Skylab" was launched by the United States into orbit in May 1973. Station with multiple crew reception and an internal volume of 352,4 m³, i.e. Soviet DOS "Salyut" and other "Diamonds" by this indicator were not suitable for her. And what is the side of the USSR?
          Further. The mention of the ISS is not entirely correct. For the financial costs, the mass of the cargo delivered to the station, the overall and mass volumes and the number of modules in Russia do not allow Russia to claim leadership in this matter. She is just an ordinary participant in an international project. The leader of the ISS project is the USA.
          Further. It is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of the ALREADY WORKING OS of China and only the PLANNED OS of Russia.
          And the last thing. The meaning of the term "evolution" means a process of continuous quantitative changes that turn into qualitative ones. The key word is change. The endless exploitation of the Soviet legacy of Korolev-Glushko without introducing elements of novelty, without moving forward can hardly be called such.

                    As for the "marriage" - it was not, the tanks were created simultaneously at FGB-1 and FGB-2. FGB-1, that is, Zarya, successfully flew away, hung in space for two years and waited for the Zvezda module. But when they converted FGB-2 into an MLM module and found metal shavings in the pipelines. Those. it turns out that "Zarya" flew away with the same shavings and nothing happened to heras there are filters. feel But, here, once found - it is necessary to clean! And they cleaned up to the point that the shavings got into the tanks, and there the bellows and such tanks, of this shape, are no longer produced. Since that manufacturer no longer exists.
                    There are also questions with the ISS - it was calculated until 2017 and the "partners" were delaying the decision on the extension. In general, when they extended it, the module was removed from storage and now it will start soon.

                    And it is not necessary, since this equipment was in the TsiH for retrofitting modules created on the basis of the FGB TKS and it was not planned to make more such modules. New modules, such as NEM, are being created by RSC Energia, they are built according to a different design - much more modern and with a large cubic capacity.

            And the speed of approach is already in the 21st century.

            the approach speed depends mainly on the inclination of the orbit relative to the latitude of the cosmodrome, the inclination of the Chinese station is 41 degrees and the latitude of the Jiuquan cosmodrome is 41 degrees, so there is no fundamental problem of docking and 70 minutes after the launch, as the Amnricans did in their time, there is simply no need for this, especially for a cargo ship, the docking speed is generally a purely mathematical indicator that does not say anything about the ship or the carrier at all

      What is really funny is to seriously discuss stupid conspiracy theories, because this says a lot about the level of intellectual development of the opponent. I'll tell you a secret that there is another conspiracy theory - that Gagarin did not actually fly into space. This theory is probably not to your liking, is it? The level of evidence for this, if I may say so, "theory" is based on approximately the same argumentation as the denial of the reality of the Apollo program. For example, that there is not a single convincing video recording of the flight, there are no photographs of the Earth from space, and the very death of Gagarin for conspiracy theorists is a weighty argument in favor of falsifying the flight. Allegedly, Yuri was eliminated to hide the truth. However, for patriots, the lunar conspiracy theory is a kind of attempt at mental revanchism in view of the gradual departure of Russia to a secondary role in modern cosmonautics, in comparison with the space achievements of the Soviet Union. In this, in principle, there is nothing shameful, everyone achieves peace of mind with their own methods. lol

      How does what you reported affect the real fact of the achievement of Chinese astronautics? They took everything into account, all the mistakes of the country to which they were equal, and with this in mind, they went ahead. sad
