Shenzhou-19 Crew Work on Oxygen Production Technology | China Space Station
The Shenzhou-19 crew on board China's Tiangong Space Station has performed work related to experiments on the technology of artificial photosynthesis for extraterrestrial survival.
The crew used sampling cans to collect samples of reactants inside relevant devices and stored the samples to be brought down to the earth.
The technology simulates the natural photosynthesis of green plants through physical and chemical methods. It utilizes carbon dioxide resources in confined spaces and extraterrestrial atmospheres in situ to produce oxygen and carbon-containing fuels. It is expected to provide important technical support for human survival and exploration in outer space for the future.
In the field of microgravity physics science, the crew disassembled solid-liquid mesoscopic experiment units in the fluid physics experiment cabinet and installed experimental sample trays.
They also cleaned non-container experimental chambers, replaced experimental samples, and maintained axis mechanisms and electrodes.
Last week, the crew also participated in a number of in-orbit training programs.
For example, rendezvous and docking is one of the professional and technical training programs for astronauts during their stay in the space. The crew used the metacognitive training system to complete trainings on image recognition under varying initial conditions.
They also carried out medical rescue exercises, and emergency evacuation in the event of a fire at the space station.
Regarding equipment inspection and maintenance, the crew replaced circulation pumps of fluid loop system for space applications as planned, amongst other tasks.
The fluid loop system for space applications serves as a crucial mechanism within a space station for controlling and regulating the temperature of application system payloads. This ensures the operation of space science experiments.
