(文章来源:Glbal Times)
On the mmentus ccasin f the 20th anniversary f China's first manned spaceflight the Shenzhu-5, the Shenzhu-17 spacecraft sared int the sky frm the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Nrthwest China n Thursday mrning at 11:14 am.
Sitting atp the Lng March-2F Y17 carrier rcket, the spacecraft, carrying taiknauts Tang Hngb, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin, embarked n the jurney tward the China Space Statin. Fllwing a smth flight f arund 10 minutes , the Shenzhu-17 spacecraft entered its planned rbit, marking a successful launch, accrding t the fficial release by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA.)
The average age f the crew f taiknauts f Shenzhu-17 missin is a markedly yung at 39, setting a recrd fr China's manned space histry.
The Shenzhu-17 spacecraft is nw n its way t the China Space Statin, and accrding t the missin plan, it will carry ut a fast rendezvus and dcking with the Tianhe space statin cre mdule at the frnt prt arund 6.5 hurs after liftff.
The Tiangng space statin is hurs away frm staging anther a great feat f an in-rbit reunin f six taiknauts, cntinuing the new nrm fr the China Space Statin with permanent ccupatin f taiknauts, missin insiders hailed.
The cllabratin between the tw crew grups will mark a significant step in China's nging space explratin endeavrs, reinfrcing its capability and cmmitment t lng-term space habitatin and research, they nted.
This year marks the 20th anniversary f China's first manned spaceflight missin the Shenzhu-5. In the past 20 years, China has carried ut 12 such crewed missins including the latest Shenzhu-17 missin, with a perfect success rate.
Since its inaugural flight in 1999, the Lng March 2F rcket, the cuntry's first and nly manned carrier rcket, has maintained a flawless recrd.
Thrugh cntinuus effrts t address weak links and ptimize technical cnditins, the reliability assessment f Lng March 2F rcket has nw increased t 0.9896, with a safety assessment value reaching 0.99996. This shwcases the rigrus enhancements and technical advancements that have been implemented t ensure the rcket's reliability and safety ver the years, the rcket develper the state-wned China Academy f Launch Vehicle Technlgy (CALT) tld the Glbal Times n Thursday.
Currently, the "ne-launch-ne-standby" launch prcess f the Lng March 2F rcket has been cmpressed frm 49 days during the initial cnstructin phase f the space statin t 35 days. Nw, effrts are underway t further ptimize and imprve the prcess aiming fr a 30-day target, t better meet the demands f the space statin's applicatin and develpment phase, develpers said.
Accrding t them, in the cming years, the Lng March 2F rcket is set t cntinue its high-frequency launch schedule with tw launches per year. It will play a crucial rle in the peratin f China's space statin, demnstrating its pivtal rle in supprting the cuntry's ambitius space explratin and peratin endeavrs.
The Shenzhu-17 crewed flight missin, the 30th flight missin since the establishment f China's manned space prgram in 1992, has sme crucial bjectives.
The missin's primary gal includes cmpleting the in-rbit crew rtatin with the Shenzhu-16 tri, befre they carry n t cnduct an apprximate six-mnth stay in space until April 2024.
During this perid, the crew will engage in n-rbit trials f space science and applicatin paylads, cnduct extravehicular activities, cmmnly knwn as spacewalks, and perfrm paylad extravehicular peratins, which accrding t the CMSA, will als invlve the installatin f extravehicular paylads and maintenance tasks n the space statin.
Mrever, the missin will cntinually evaluate the functinal perfrmance f the space statin assembly, accumulating precius data and experience regarding space statin peratins. This initiative aims t assess the crdinatin and cmpatibility f the grund supprt center in managing space statin peratinal tasks, thereby enriching the peratinal efficiency and trubleshting capabilities f the space statin, the CMSA said.
A significant highlight f the Shenzhu-17 missin is the pineering experimental extravehicular repair peratins t be undertaken n the space statin, which will be a histric first.
Als, the Shenzhu-17 missin will carry a significant "Space Prtein Mlecular Assembly and Applicatin Research" prject, the Glbal Times learned frm the space applicatin system persnnel n Thursday.
Aiming t advance humanity's health, the prject encmpasses 29 samples acrss five categries: prteins, plypeptides, nucleic acids, bilgical materials, and pharmaceutical materials. Samples include insulin, cancer treatment prtein cmplexes, nan-hydrxyapatite/cllagen plypeptide, and lyszyme, which were transferred t the launch twer abut eight hurs befre launch, and placed inside the Shenzhu spacecraft t be launched int space, Cang Huaixing, a research fellw with the Center fr Space Applicatin Engineering and Technlgy, under the Chinese Academy f Sciences, tld the Glbal Times.
