Lunar suit showcases China's technological confidence
2024-10-21
The appearance of the lunar suit made its first public appearance, fully demonstrating the phased achievements of China's manned lunar exploration mission and effectively demonstrating China's scientific and technological confidence. Recently, the China Manned Space Engineering Office launched a naming campaign for the lunar suit to the society and publicly revealed the appearance of the Chinese lunar suit for the first time. The appearance of the lunar suit fully demonstrates the phased achievements of China's manned lunar exploration mission, marks a new stage of development in China's space suit technology, and also reflects the continuous improvement of China's space industry, effectively demonstrating China's scientific and technological confidence. As one of the core equipment for future manned lunar exploration missions, the production process of lunar suits is complex and precise, with extremely high technological content. Lunar suits are mainly used for life support and operational support for astronauts during lunar extravehicular activities, and can provide comprehensive protection against complex environments such as vacuum, high and low temperatures, lunar dust, and radiation on the lunar surface. Astronauts wearing suits can complete lunar extravehicular activities such as walking, climbing, driving, and scientific exploration. The lunar suit is lightweight and can be worn squatting or bending over. The comprehensive protective fabric can effectively protect against the thermal environment and dust on the lunar surface. The panoramic anti glare window can improve visual efficiency, and the long and short focal length cameras on both sides of the head can achieve close range video recording... These high-tech details will provide strong support for the smooth implementation of China's first manned lunar mission. The lunar suit was developed by aerospace researchers after four years of research and breakthroughs in multiple key technologies. Its birth embodies the hard work and sweat of aerospace researchers, and is the result of the inheritance and innovation of aerospace suit technology. Currently, only a few countries in the world have the capability to independently develop space suits. With the vigorous development of China's manned spaceflight industry, the in cabin spacesuits have escorted 35 astronauts safely into and out of space; The first and second generation "Feitian" extravehicular spacesuits independently developed by China have currently supported 17 astronauts and 33 people to successfully carry out 17 extravehicular activities, effectively ensuring the construction and efficient operation of China's space station. Every aerospace achievement is hard won. The production of the helmet face window of the extravehicular spacesuit alone requires 47 processes, the size tolerance of the extravehicular gloves does not exceed 1 millimeter, and the metal "hard torso" of the extravehicular spacesuit cannot have more than 0.1 millimeters of fine burrs... Through inheritance and innovative development, the lunar suit has become more slender overall according to the actual needs of lunar landing, requiring higher adaptability for astronauts. The weight reduction design has put forward higher requirements for the efficiency guarantee ability of the entire garment. The development of lunar suits originates from the profound accumulation of China's aerospace industry, embodying the unremitting pursuit and driving force of the Chinese nation's self-reliance and independent innovation. From the Shenzhou spacecraft, the shining Beidou, the Chang'e lunar exploration, to the Chinese space station's exploration of space, the Chinese nation's journey towards the stars and the sea has never stopped. Chinese astronauts have gone from blueprint drawing to striving to fulfill their dreams, and have embarked on a path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics, promoting the aerospace industry from non-existent to existing, from weak to strong, and achieving historic, high-quality, and leapfrog development. Aiming at achieving the goal of Chinese first landing on the moon by 2030, the power of independent innovation will steadily support the realization of this dream. The appearance of the lunar suit combines historical tradition and modern elements, and the stunning design is rooted in the confidence of innovative culture. The lunar suit embodies the unique romantic sentiment of China's aerospace industry, with red decorative bands on the upper and lower limbs enhancing the visual sense of power and slimming effect. The upper limb decorative strip is designed in an elegant and graceful "flying sky" ribbon shape, while the lower limb decorative strip is designed in the shape of a rocket launch tail flame, echoing up and down to form a soaring posture. The overall appearance of the clothing is tough and resolute, showcasing the solemn spirit and extraordinary courage of the expedition, conveying the will and spirit of the Chinese nation to forge ahead and move forward courageously. The announcement of the naming of the lunar suit was released, with high audience participation and enthusiastic online comments, confirming the boosting effect of the vigorous development of the aerospace industry on cultural confidence. The curtain has been drawn for China's manned moon landing. After the successful completion of the Chang'e-6 mission, the astronaut team is intensively training, and key equipment such as the Long March 10 carrier rocket, the new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar lander, and manned lunar rover are also being developed. A series of important key technologies such as lunar suits have been successively broken, laying a solid foundation for China to achieve manned lunar landing before 2030. The dream of landing on the moon is worth looking forward to. (New Society)
