A picture about Shenzhou-14 crew in the simulated module for grond training in the Wentian module (via Weibo) I can't totally comfim this was shot by Tianhe core module's node way or from the new airlock. "飞行方向" means direction of flight, which means the direction the arrow is pointing is Tianhe's node. "试验载荷" means experimental loads, aka the experiment racks. "区" can translate to block here and I think A block will be the SAS flywheels. Those wheels diffinatly will be really noisy so if you look at the design in terms of 'user-friendliness', the three new sleeping bays need to set away from A blcok.

Three more. And different with the sleeping bay at Tianhe which are 'horizontal', those three will be 'vertical'. But you know, there's no different about horizontal and vertical up there. A VR link about Tianhe, Wentian and Mengtian. Although I don't really like the workmanship but it's better than nothing. Yep, and habitable part is at front of the square block. The blocks on the exterior is a fixture for extra-vehicular experiments. And the airlock at Wentian is little bigger than the existing airlock at Tianhe Core module: one metre and 85cm in diameter. I forgot to mention one thing: Shenzhou-14 crew will do an EVA from the new airlock at this square block. And back to the station from the airlock at Tianhe core module's node to to validate the technique of going out and returning from different airlock and different module. And since then, Wentian's airlock will be the preferred airlock, with the original one on the node as a backup.

well: And there will be a smaller version robotic arm for the exposed facility and they can join toghter, which means 10m long main arm + 5m long smaller arm: Meanwhile there also have at least one robotic arm point at Wentian module: (This module total length is 17.9m) The official explanation is that in this position the aerodynamic disturbances are minimal and the gravity gradient is stable, "like a pendulum that stays on the longitudinal axis no matter which way it turns". Personally, I quite like this CNSA approach of always being cautious about what they haven't done and taking a theoretically more prudent option: after all, we can't save & load like KSP in the space. There have three spacesuits already up there. So theortically, if they want to do it, they can send three people outside at same time when Shenzhou-14 and 15 all docking with the station.

CASIC's second institute made something cool for the forest firefighters: electric-assisted trolley: It was a journalist who was experiencing this trolley. Obviously a journalist's physical training can never match for that of firefighters. But with more than 60 kg of fire-fighting supplies loaded and the trolley's power switched on, he literally darted uphill on a continuous stretch

Find a article (but it's fully Chinese) about testing the indexing robotic arm and in the article there is a diagram of this arm. From left to right: shoulder joint linkage, shoulder joint drive mechanism, linkage arm, capture linkage mechanism, wrist joint drive mechanism, and wrist joint.

Shenzhou-14 mission start now. There will be five launches, five time rendezvous and docking, two times transposition. First, Tianzhou-3 leave Tianhe Core Module and let Wentian Module docked with radial docking port. Wentian's solar panels fully deploys. Then the combination turns and adjusts its attitude. Use the indexing robotic arm (Chiense version ‘Lyappa Arm') to shift Wentian from radial port to lateral permanent docking port: Re-adjust the attitude of the assemblage, wait for the docking of the Mentian and repeat a similar process: Then Tianzhou-4 cargo ship leave CSS and Tianzhou-5 will docking with the station. Finally, Shenzhou-15 crew will go into space and dock with the station for crew rotation in orbit. Between this may be performed the task of transferring the solar panels of the core module. I haven't seen any official information as to when exactly this will be carried out.

I'm quite surpising about such that things can also mentioned China: Honestly, what's it to us? Kind a joke: -why have there been fewer UFO sightings and rumours in recent years? -Because the pixels of mobile phone cameras have increased.

“Money, Money, and Money” There are few remaining dividends from the Cold War left, either for the US or for Russia. As a Chinese - and as a ‘third-party observer’ - there are "Cold War fossils" politicians in both the US and Russia who have nothing to do with pragmatism. And what's even more deadly is that they can often really influence relevant national policy decisions. No offense, but I sincerely wish there can have more people in this world could understand "As big a head as you have, so big a hat as you wear." “Looking up to the stars, keepping your feet on the ground”

Shenzhou-14 carrying four types of forage seeds from Xinjiang to space. They are 'New Grass-1' Sudan grass, Camelthorns (alhagi), Ili sericea and Ceratocarpus. "The aim of the experiment is to breed breed characteristics that are more tolerant to salinity, cold and drought through environmental mutagenesis in space, which will be used to improve wind and sand fixation power, grassland productivity, grassland livestock carrying capacity and to combat grassland desertification, which will play an important role in the development of animal husbandry and ecological environmental protection in Xinjiang and the whole country.", said by Zheng Wenxin, President of the Xinjiang Academy of Animal Husbandry.

May I introducing to you a DPRK Superman: Jumping down from 3 floors tall wall. And then the police hunted him for 41 days in the forests of northeast China in October and November, despite intensive police investigations and big data technology. Finally, when he was too hungry to fish at the lake, he was noticed by other anglers and reported to the police before he was caught. Put everything aside, he really is some kind superman I give he that.

Saw a video about interviewing Chen Dong. He said his sons (he had a twins at home) asked him can he take them to the space with him? He replied that bird was defintiely impossible, there were only three tickets and all three of us in the crew had booked them. But, later, when you grow up, if you still want to, you can fight for it yourselves. You want to go to space this time, so I'll give you an assignment: why do you want to go, what do you want to do when you go up there, and I want to ask you when I come back. Chen Dong: Then I thought, when Wang Yaping came back, she said, "The star-picking mum is back". And when I come back, it would be "The homework-checking father is back". I don't think the kids would want to talk to me

We proof the Newton's law of motion

Docked! Rational: CZ-2F rocket have no record on hitting other countries and second stage always targeting and dropped at the point nemo at south pacific Irrational: all the rockets always targeting New York. The cross centre always is the Statue of Liberty Apart from this, the only other option would be to sterilise and vacuum bag it. I just woder if the liquid nitrogen will frozen out or vacuum will crushing those grapes.

Success! Then we need to wait six and half hours for Shenzhou-14 docking with Tianhe Core Module Tradition 'Big Red Screen' at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre control room: "Congratulations on the successful launch of Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft" The reporter asked the engineer did they had brought any fruit like apples on board, like Shenzhou-13 mission did. The engineer said that they not only brught apples but also other fruits such as green grapes. I'm quite curious as to how this is keeping fresh.

HERE WE GO!

Well... our new astronaut, Cai Xuzhe, somehow looks like our foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian "Next question please!"

After weeks of speculation, we now have a officially comfirmed the members of the Shenzhou-14 crew: Chen Dong (陈东), used to be the co-pilot of Shenzhou-11 and docked with Tiangong-2; Liu Yang (刘洋), the first Chinese female astronaut, used to be the third co-pilot of Shenzhou-9 and docked with Tiangong-1; Cai Xuzhe(蔡旭哲), second echelon of the astronaut brigade. This is his the first mission. Shenzhou-14 will be launch at 5th June, 10:44 (GMT+8) and will be docked with the radial docking port of Tianhe Core Module

Guess those 8K video clips which bring back to Earth by 40 1TB hard drives should be almost finished edited: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1jL4y1K7iR?spm_id_from=333.880.my_history.page.click

Only proof of one thing: the development of human civilisation has always revolved arond how to throw stones and boil water more efficiently

A video about Wang Yaping doing the underwater training for preparing the CSS's EVA mission. You can see the Feitian (飞天, Flying in the Sky) Spacesuit after improvements. Seems like CNSA now can put the Orlan suit aside which bought from Russia before

So, how you wash you hair up there? Another photo shot by Wang Yaping: The Yangtze Delta. The jellyfish like lake is the Lake Tai (太湖), and at the bottem left of it is Shanghai (via Weibo)

First launch in June. "These first satellites are part of a planned constellation – the “Geely Future Mobility Constellation” – that will consist of 240 satellites, with the first phase of 72 satellites expected to be placed in orbit by 2025. The second phase will follow consisting of 168 satellites.", said by Geely, "Geespace’s GeeSAT-1 are the first modular, high-resilience, high-performance, mass-produced low-orbit satellites in China. They will provide centimetre accurate precise positioning and connectivity support for use by automotive brands in the Geely Holding portfolio, enabling true, safe autonomous driving that will connect vehicles with vehicles and infrastructure with vehicles to realise true autonomous driving." Geely, the car manufacturer acquired 100% of Volvo twelve years ago for $1.8 billion.

"White is the New Black", I like that (The Galacy Energy's rocket CERES-1 used to be black)

Anywhere. Such as you annoying neighbour's, if you have one

Wait for several days and I really can't figure out why those guys in the publicity didn't make an English translation of this: Hello Mars, a 5-part documentary about the Tianwen-1 project from inception to its arrival on the surface of Mars In case anyone is wondering, the opening few Martian locations are: Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, Marth Crater at Arabia Terra, Elysium Mons, and where Zhurong rover landing, the Utopia Planitia
