Done

Start The procedure takes 30 minutes to carry out, which is almost 3° of rotation a minute. Add: the crew will enter the module at 14:00 CST Then you need to consider is let the modules take less fuel, or copy a CBM like docking mechanism to let 1 or 2 Tianzhou take the experiment racks up to the station. Currently CNSA have the large diameter hatch tech, but not the docking mechanism. If less fuel is carried, the existing plans for orbit entry and circularisation of the orbit may not even be fully achieved. If less payload taken, then the whole project might as well not have been done. I agree with the idea of bringing a (or some) solid rocket, and that's what I would do in the KSP. It would have to be considered where to put it though: if it's on the exterior of the rocket shell, there are certain aerodynamic implications that would have to be considered; if it's mounted somewhere between the rocket and the module, I don't think there's enough room: The black adapter inside is the rear docking mechanism. There are also a number of precision devices here.

Currently here the typhoon still there (a little bit up left) and it's looks like around 14 hours (?) to drop. Somehow, I want to see what it will happened if it drops in the typhoon. But that would be quite dangerous for me hahaha Not only CNSA or PLA or something else, but also all state-run organizations have a strange rule about "Modifications to the original design should be made with extra care and attention." Quite annoying I admit. I can only understand it in the way that "behind every strange rule there is at least one human life".

Surprising to me is there also have kids from Vietnam

CNSA can add a YZ-2 upper stage on the CZ-5B rocket and that's also the plan in the future how to use it. But upper stage has its own weight: maximum 8t. The CZ-5B rocket can take 25t to LEO. Every module of CSS is around 23t: I'm pessimistic that the upper stage will make it to orbit if it uses up the remaining two tonnes of capacity of the rocket along with its fuel. Not to mention the length of the fairing as well. It's a bit selfish to say that but it's just the "lesser of two evils". And I don't think the Xuntian telescope can make it to 20 tones. Probably we can see a good boy next time

Add: I thought that YouTube don't have its video, and that's wrong. It has two cargo holds front and rear.

Shenjian is the CZ-2F rocket. That one is Reusable Experimental Spacecraft, or just simply Tengyun. But when it can come back... I don't dare to know. The thing I only hope is I can watch a documentary about it 30 years later. That could use the patches on my avatar to describe this: If you steal the secret, you will be caught. If you been caught, you will be killed. Everyone please tries your best to catch the enemy spy. If you catch them, you will get a hell of credit. This patch actually is from a billboard at the entrance of PLAAF's Dingxin test flight base, which is near to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. According to the live preview of the CCTV's app, the Mengtian Module's transposition manoeuvre will start at 9am CST I'll definitely will be showing this live on the office's projector tomorrow morning

And looking at the fuselage, if they paint a Antonov logo on it, I don't feel strange at all! First impression is that this thing feels like 'AN-1.24' to me hahaha If they have a six engines plan... well... AN-2.25

CMS's official Weibo: The orbital parameters of the wreckage of the CZ-5B Y4 rocket are: perigee 170.8km, apogee 301.4km, inclination 41.6°.

Have to say I wondered if his pictures were photoshopped. Until I saw a video taken behind them: https://weibo.com/5616492130/Md0SirIZ9 The most he should have done I think was to remove the other unrelated passers-by in the picture. Damn, really sweet

Hello there The bottom left words is Tianhe looking to Mengtian I believe these pictures were taken from the big screen in Beijing Flight Control Hall And Mengtian's solar panels are fully deployed Photo by panoramic camera on Mengtian Photo by panoramic camera on Wentian Via. https://weibo.com/1971177973/McXB2nunT/https://weibo.com/1971177973/McXrQCDNN

According to the previous one, Wentian Module's launching, the first Announcement of Orbital Parameters of the Rocket Upper Stage Debris, issued by the CMS official website, was published two days after the launch. it then went on to publish one each day, four in total. Until the fifth one, "CZ-5B Y3 rocket upper stage wreckage has re-entered the atmosphere", four days later. These reports can tell you the perigee and apogee, as well as orbital inclination. But visually draw the lines on the map, you may have to do it yourself.

At least Japanese handwriting must be better than me if there's a competition, especially by ink brush And giving that during the Spring Festival, the Shenzhou-13 crew wrote several Spring Festival couplets by ink brush. So, if there can have Japanese astronaut come to CSS in the future and fortunately enough to catch it, there definitely will do such things such as write a '福' on red square papers.

What Mengtian inside looks like now? At the bottom right of the flag is an artistic design of the Chinese character '梦‘(dream) And a photo of the interior of the airlock chamber before the cargo airlock was sealed: Via. https://weibo.com/5616492130/McRY7Evrl?refer_flag=1001030103_

Success! Currently Mengtian is deploying the solar panels and signal relay antenna Add: the Mengtian's transposition manoeuvre will be carried out immediately after the docking and the entire station shifted to the gravity gradient stabilised attitude, which means perpendicular to the earth.

Counting down Live in Chinese: https://live.bilibili.com/23118988 No room for error because there's a typhoon incoming

The YF-75E engine, prepared for the third stage of the new manned rocket, has accumulated over 10,000 seconds of test runs. And it was also the first time that three complete ground-based long-range tests were completed in one day.

The mission patch this time is a... Monkey King?

After further study of the lunar samples brought back from Chang'e 5, scientists have a preliminary understanding of why the Moon was still volcanically active two billion years ago: Fusible mantle cumulates trigger young mare volcanism on the cooling Moon If I understand correctly, it is the product of magma that has crystallized with a low melting point. And this product also continued to seep into the deep lunar mantle, causing the mantle to have a lower melting point, which then caused the Moon to actually cool later than we would expect before.

Some more information about the future of CZ-5B rocket: according to the news report about interviewed the CZ-5B rocket's deputy chief designer. He said that in the future the CZ-5B will not only keeping carried out the launch mission of CSS's future modules such as Xuntian telescope, but also will combined with YZ-2 upper stage for future launch missions of additional satellite constellations. Ah, combined with upper stage, hope we can no longer need to 'place our bets' every its launch in the future

Weird... a large, four engines, multipurpose, medium-altitude, long-endurance fixed-wing UAV, Two-tailed Scorpion D from Tengden company. Was successfully finished its maiden flight. "The aircraft has wingspan 20m, length10.5m, height 3.1m, maximum take-off weight 4.35t, maximum load weight 1.5t and a maximum loading space 5m3". They also said that this new UAV will be exhibiting at the Zhuhai Airshow. Stunning

Here we go! via.https://weibo.com/7594961311/MbVINABEy Comparing with the previous 3 missions: Next-generation crewed spacecraft, Tianhe Core Module and Wentian Module Via. https://weibo.com/2645044133/MbWlDyvHZ

The launch tower's swinging platform of 101 launch pad in WSLC (Wenchang Satellite Launch Center) is opening. The CZ-5B rocket with the Mengtian module on board should be transferred from the VAB soon. But however, according to the weather forecast, it doesn't seem good in these three days. via. https://weibo.com/7594961311/MbOrzDBxc
