China's Shenzhou-18 Astronauts Conduct Emergency Drill & Replace Samples
In addition to swapping samples inside the container-less materials laboratory cabinet and fluid physics experiment cabinet, astronauts replaced the filter window of the plug-in in the combustion science experiment cabinet. Going forward, they will carry out research on boiling heat transfer and enhancement mechanisms.
A research on In-orbit Emotion Recognition and Evaluation of Astronauts was conducted. The crew members filled out questionnaires including "Mood States" and "Positive and Negative Emotional States" on a computer and completed color preference tests and emotional picture tests to help the ground team explore the impact of long-term space missions on astronaut psychological health.
To enhance emergency preparedness, they also staged a system-wide drill last week in collaboration with the ground team. This involved the whole process of emergency response to a simulated scenario where China's Tiangong space station is hit by space debris and faces internal decompression. After an alarm was raised, they made quick adjustments and started finding the source of the leak and successfully plugged it with the help of engineers on Earth.
The Shenzhou-18 trio was launched on April 25, 2024, to the orbiting Tiangong space station for a six-month mission as the third manned mission in the application and development stage of China's space station, and the 32nd flight mission of the country's overall crewed space program.
