China ha probado con éxito la cápsula Mengzhou, diseñada para llevar personas a la Luna. El ensayo probó su sistema de escape en caso de emergencia  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  El martes 17 de junio, China lanzó con éxito una prueba de emergencia de su cápsula Mengzhou, sin tripulación, en el Centro de Lanzamiento de Jiuquan. Esta cápsula será usada en futuras misiones tripuladas a la Luna. La maniobra consistió en simular un accidente desde la plataforma de lanzamiento, para verificar que la cápsula pueda escapar si ocurre una explosión en tierra. En 20 segundos, el sistema de propulsión la elevó, luego soltó el módulo principal y lo dejó caer suavemente con paracaídas y airbags. ¿Por qué este ensayo podría significar que China le gane a Estados Unidos en la carrera lunar?  La cápsula Mengzhou, cuyo nombre significa “barco del sueño”, está diseñada para llevar astronautas chinos a la órbita lunar antes del año 2030. La prueba realizada el 17 de junio a las 12:30 del mediodía (hora de China) consistió en una simulación real de emergencia. Sin usar un cohete, se activaron motores sólidos que empujaron la cápsula hacia arriba. A los 20 segundos, se separó de su torre de escape y descendió con tres paracaídas hasta aterrizar con ayuda de un sistema de bolsas de aire. A las 12:32 ya estaba de vuelta en el suelo. Esta fue apenas la segunda vez que China realiza una prueba de escape desde cero metros de altitud. La anterior había sido en 1998, con la cápsula Shenzhou. Pero Mengzhou es diferente: su sistema de seguridad no depende del cohete, sino que está integrado en la cápsula misma. Esto permite responder con rapidez en caso de una falla grave durante el lanzamiento. Este paso era vital para validar el diseño y seguir con las próximas pruebas, que incluirán un ensayo en pleno vuelo, a mayor altitud y presión atmosférica. Aunque China aún está por detrás de la NASA en misiones lunares, esta cápsula nueva parece estar ganando terreno.Estados Unidos recortó el presupuesto para sus misiones lunares. La NASA enfrenta incertidumbre. El presupuesto propuesto por la Casa Blanca para 2026 elimina el cohete SLS y la cápsula Orion después de la misión Artemis 3, prevista para 2027. Mientras tanto, China avanza en el desarrollo de Mengzhou, el cohete Long March 10 y un módulo lunar, que podrían permitirle llegar primero a la Luna en esta nueva era. Mengzhou puede llevar hasta siete astronautas en misiones en órbita baja, o tres hasta la órbita lunar. Es parcialmente reutilizable, y ya fue probada en 2020 con un vuelo suborbital. Su versión lunar pesará unas 26 toneladas. Este sistema ha sido diseñado para cumplir con estándares internacionales y funcionar tanto con estaciones espaciales como en misiones lunares. El cohete Long March 10 tendrá tres etapas de 5 metros de diámetro, con motores de queroseno y oxígeno líquido. Está en construcción en Wenchang, en la isla de Hainan. Las plataformas de lanzamiento ya están siendo instaladas. El sistema completo de la misión lunar incluirá un aterrizador llamado Lanyue y, posiblemente, una combinación con el Long March 5B para pruebas atmosféricas. Según la Oficina de Ingeniería Espacial Tripulada de China (CMSEO), todos estos elementos están siendo desarrollados en paralelo. El objetivo es claro: tener una misión tripulada lista antes del año 2030. China ya probó el diseño de reingreso de Mengzhou a gran velocidad hace cinco años, y ahora se enfoca en demostrar que puede proteger vidas humanas desde el despegue hasta el regreso. China dio un paso firme hacia la Luna con la prueba de emergencia de Mengzhou. ¿Quién ganará esta nueva carrera lunar?

Britain is facing a winter of discontent after 100,000 civil servants voted to strike today as comrades on the rail network agreed new dates and nurses decided on taking industrial action for the first time in more than a century. Salto de Castro, found in north-western Spain, has 44 homes, a hotel, a church and a swimming pool has been put up for sale by the current owner. The village is built over 65,000 square feet along the hilltops in the province of Zamora, near Spain's border with Portugal. But despite its picturesque location, Salto de Castro is home to no inhabitants, and has been abandoned for more than three decades. Morocco announced on Friday, November 4, that it had appointed a new person to oversee the public company that is in charge of the project to construct a 40km tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar to link the north African county to Spain. During the Moroccan government council meeting held on Thursday 3, it was decided to appoint AbdelKabir Zahoud. Spain briefly closed parts of its airspace over risks posed by a Chinese rocket re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Barcelona and Ibiza airports were among those impacted by the grounding, which lasted around 40 minutes on Friday. The decision came after China sent its powerful Long March 5B rocket to deliver the final module of its Tiangong space station. Greta Thunberg believes it is time for her to 'give up the megaphone' on climate change issues - but called for more 'civil disobedience' as eco-protests sweep Europe.The teenage activist, 19, wants to step out of the limelight to make room for people who are actually suffering the effects of climate change, four years after starting her world-famous 'school strike for climate' movement Four people were killed, including a teenager, and eight others were injured early on Sunday after a car rammed into members of a wedding party near Madrid following a brawl, police said.The fight erupted at dawn outside a restaurant that was hosting the wedding in Torrejón de Ardoz, some 25 kilometres northeast of Madrid. The new regulations, which introduced fines for both, produced the desired effect and while prostitution continues, it is hidden from view. Fewer homeless are now seen sleeping in the city centre and many have moved on to neighbouring Elche. Mariano Valera, Elche's Social Rights councillor, condemned the Alicante City law, approved with the votes of the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox parties, as “shameful” when it came into force. Watching violent television programmes from a young age has been scientifically linked to poor performance at secondary school. Researchers from the University of Montreal analysed the content shown to nearly 2,000 children aged 3.5 to 4.5. When the kids turned 12, the team asked them and their teachers to evaluate how well they thought they were doing at school. It was found that boys and girls exposed to violent content in early childhood were more likely to experience 'increases in emotional distress' later on. Uk Labour's Ed Miliband today backed calls for taxpayers' money to be given to countries such as Pakistan and the Maldives for 'loss and damage' from climate change.The shadow climate and net zero secretary insisted it was 'morally right' to hand money to poorer nations that are 'on the frontline of the climate crisis'.As the Cop-27 climate change summit begins in Egypt, Mr Miliband stressed it would also be in Britain's 'self-interest' to boost aid to developing countries.But, while he highlighted both Pakistan and the Maldives as possible recipients of 'loss and damage' payments, he denied it would also see China handed cash

英语新闻︱神舟十四号乘组两名航天员成功出舱Chinese astronauts on the Shenzhou XIV mission have started carrying out their first spacewalk, also known as an extravehicular activity, which is scheduled to finish early on Friday morning, according to the China Manned Space Agency.据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，9月2日，神舟十四号航天员首次出舱活动取得圆满成功。Mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong opened an extravehicular activity hatch on the Tiangong space station at 6:26 pm on Thursday Beijing time and then floated out of the station. He was followed by female crew member Senior Colonel Liu Yang, the agency said in a news release.北京时间29月1日18时26分，航天员陈冬成功开启问天实验舱气闸舱出舱舱门。至19时09分，航天员陈冬、航天员刘洋成功出舱。It was the first spacewalk ever conducted by Chen and Liu, both of whom are on their second space journey.这是航天员陈冬、刘洋首次执行出舱活动任务，第二次执行太空任务。The other team member－Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe－stayed inside the station to support their operations, the release said.其间，航天员蔡旭哲在核心舱内配合支持两名出舱航天员开展舱外操作。Chen and Liu were tasked with using a robotic arm to install new instruments outside Tiangong, adjusting the panoramic camera and other operations. The two were scheduled to stay outside for around seven hours, according to the agency.据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，两名出舱航天员的任务是在小机械臂的支持下，进行问天实验舱扩展泵组安装、问天实验舱全景相机抬升等作业，计划出舱活动时长约为7个小时。It was the first time that astronauts have used the Wentian space lab's airlock cabin to make preparations for and then carry out a spacewalk.这是我国航天员首次从问天实验舱气闸舱出舱实施舱外活动。Crew members of previous flights used the airlock cabin on the Tianhe core module to support spacewalks.此前，我国航天员都是从天和核心舱的节点舱出舱。With the new cabin, the one on Tianhe has become the backup support facility for future spacewalks.问天实验舱投入使用之后，天和核心舱便成为后备保障设施。Zhang Qiao, head designer of Wentian's overall structure at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the new cabin's inner space is bigger than that of the Tianhe module, and its hatch is wider, and these make it easier for astronauts to prepare themselves and carry out spacewalks.中国空间技术研究院问天实验舱总体系统主任设计师张峤表示，问天实验舱内部空间比天和核心舱更大，出舱口更宽，便于航天员作出舱准备和出舱活动。The spacewalk also marks the first time that a new type of tether line and a new external lighting system have been used on the Chinese space station.此次出舱还标志着中国空间站首次使用了新型可伸缩安全系绳和新型舱外照明系统。Pang Zhihao, a renowned observer of China's manned spaceflights, said astronauts would verify whether the new airlock cabin works well to support spacewalks.中国空间技术研究院研究员庞之浩表示，航天员将验证问天实验舱气闸舱是否能很好地支持出舱活动。"It must be more comfortable and convenient for astronauts to use the new cabin for their spacewalk because the section was specifically designed to support extravehicular activities," he said.庞之浩说：“对于航天员来说，使用问天实验舱进行出舱活动一定会更加舒适方便，因为问天实验舱是专门为舱外活动而设计的。”"As soon as the astronauts opened the hatch, they must have seen the beautiful scenes of the mother planet, as the hatch is always directed toward the Earth," Pang said.庞之浩说：“航天员打开舱门便能看到地球的美景，因为舱门朝着地球。”Pang, who was a senior researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the spacewalk was also intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the robotic arm on the Wentian lab.庞之浩指出，本次出舱还意在展示问天实验舱小机械臂的工作能力。Chen and his teammates had spent 88 days in orbit as of Thursday and have conducted a series of tasks such as arranging cargo, testing equipment and conducting scientific experiments, the space agency said.据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，截至9月1日，神舟十四号航天员乘组已在轨工作生活88天，先后完成了货运飞船物资转移、问天舱平台在轨测试、科学实验机柜解锁与测试等工作。The crew arrived at Tiangong on the evening of June 5, several hours after their spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gobi Desert.6月5日，搭载神舟十四号载人飞船的长征二号F遥十四运载火箭，在酒泉卫星发射中心点火发射。当晚，航天员便抵达了天宫空间站。They are scheduled to stay at the station, orbiting 400 kilometers above Earth, for six months to monitor the planned assembly of the colossal outpost.按照计划，航天员将开展为期6个月的在轨驻留，开展空间站平台维护与照料等工作。Shenzhou XIV is the sixth spacecraft to visit Tiangong and the third crewed ship to transport astronauts to the station.神舟十四号是第六艘访问天宫站的飞船,也是第三艘运送宇航员到轨道前哨的载人飞船。Currently, Tiangong consists of the Tianhe core module, the Tianzhou 4 cargo ship, the Shenzhou XIV spacecraft and the Wentian space lab, which was launched in late July.目前，天宫空间站由天和核心舱、天舟四号货运飞船、神舟十四号载人飞船和问天实验舱组成。Mission planners said Tiangong's second lab component, Mengtian, will be lifted by a Long March 5B carrier rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province in October.据悉，我国空间站第2个实验舱段梦天实验舱将于今年10月在海南文昌航天发射中心由长征五号B遥四运载火箭运载升空。After Mengtian is connected with Tiangong, the station will be a T-shaped structure. The entire station is expected to work in orbit for 15 years.梦天实验舱与天宫空间站对接后，空间站将形成“T”字构型。整个空间站预计将在轨运营15年。记者：赵磊extravehicular英[ˌekstrəvi:'hɪkjələ]；美[ˌekstrəvi'hɪkjələ]adj.太空船外的cabin英[ˈkæbɪn]；美[ˈkæbɪn]n.小木屋;（船上的）小舱;机舱tether英[ˈteðə(r)]；美[ˈtɛðɚ]n.（拴牲畜用的）系绳;限度，极限vt.用绳拴住;拘束，束缚colossal英[kəˈlɒsl]；美[kəˈlɑːsl]adj. 巨大的; 异常的

Beijing is dismissing concern about the Long March 5B rocket debris set to make an uncontrolled reentry around July 31

英语新闻∣问天实验舱发射成功Rocketblasts off and carries craft to nearly 400 km above the groundWentian, the first lab module of China's space station, has successfully docked with the combination of the Tianhe core module, according to the China Manned Space Agency.The Wentian module docked with the front port of Tianhe at 3:13 am Monday (Beijing Time), after it entered the planned orbit and completed state setting.中国空间站首个科学实验舱问天实验舱发射成功，并于北京时间7月25日凌晨3时13分与天和核心舱前向对接口对接成功。The whole process took approximately 13 hours, the CMSA said.据中国载人航天工程办公室表示，整个交会对接过程持续13个小时。China launched its Wentian space laboratory on Sunday afternoon, sending the country's largest-ever spacecraft into Earth's orbit to become part of the Tiangong space station.问天实验舱是我国发射的最大的飞行器，将成为天宫空间站的组成部分。Encased in a 20.5-meter-long payload, the space lab was carried by a Long March 5B rocket that blasted off at 2:22 pm from acoastalservice tower in the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province.After a flight of about eight minutes, the rocket placed the craft into a low-Earth orbit nearly 400 kilometers above the ground.7月24日14时22分，搭载问天实验舱的长征五号B遥三运载火箭在我国文昌航天发射场准时点火发射。约495秒后，问天实验舱与火箭成功分离并进入预定轨道。The Shenzhou XIV mission crew now flying with the Tiangong－mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong, Senior Colonel Liu Yang and Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe－will then enter the lab module to check its condition and internal equipment, it said.问天实验舱将按照预定程序与核心舱组合体进行交会对接，神舟十四号航天员乘组将进入问天实验舱开展工作。In the coming weeks, Wentian will be repositioned by a robot apparatus from the forward docking port to a lateral port, where it will remain and be prepared for long-term operations, mission planners said.问天实验舱目前已经与核心舱的前项对接口完成交会对接，形成一个“一”字组合体。而在完成各项准备工作后，后续它还将转位到核心舱的侧向对接口，因此问天实验舱上还安装了转位机械臂，用来完成实验舱与核心舱之间的转位对接。To prepare for Wentian's arrival, the Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft departed from the Tiangong station on July 17 to leave its docking hatch for the lab. The cargo ship, which was launched in September and had remained connected to Tiangong since then, will be guided by ground controllers to eventually fall back to Earth.为了迎接问天实验舱的到来，天舟3号货运飞船于7月17日撤离天宫空间站，将对接口留给问天实验舱。天舟3号货运飞船于去年9月发射升空，后续将在地面控制下返回地球。Before Wentian's docking, Tiangong consisted of the Tianhe module, the Tianzhou 4 cargo ship and the Shenzhou XIV spacecraft.在问天实验舱与核心舱组合体进行交会对接之前，天宫空间站包括天和实验舱、天舟四号货运飞船和神州十四号。Assembled at a manufacturing and testing complex in the northern municipality of Tianjin, Wentian was transported by ship and arrived in Wenchang in late April. It underwent function and prelaunch checks over the past three months at the launch center.问天实验舱在天津制造和组装，于4月船运抵达文昌。在发射前三个月里，经过一系列发射前检查。Platform for science科学实验平台The first lab component of the Tiangong station, Wentian featurescutting-edgetechnologies, strong capabilities, sophisticated design and represents a new milestone in China's space industry. It incorporates the wisdom, dedication and hard work of numerous scientists, engineers and technicians, according to the China Academy of Space Technology, which was responsible for designing and making the craft.作为中国空间站的首个科学实验仓，问天实验舱具有前沿技术、强大能力和复杂设计，是中国航天事业的里程碑。据中国空间技术研究院介绍，问天实验舱凝聚了众多科学家、工程师和技术人员的智慧，是中国航天人无私奉献和辛勤工作的结果。The vehicle consists of three major parts－a crew working compartment, an airlock cabin and an unpressurized service module.问天实验舱由工作舱、气闸舱、资源舱构成，每个舱段都承担着不同的功能。Weighing 23 metric tons, the space lab is 17.9 meters tall, roughlyequivalentto a six-story residential building, and has a diameter of 4.2 meters. It is the largest and heaviest spacecraft China has ever built and also the world's heaviest self-propelled spaceship in service, said Zhang Qiao, head designer of Wentian's overall structure.据航天科技集团五院空间站系统总体主任设计师张昊介绍，问天实验舱全长17.9米，重约23吨，相当于一栋六层楼房，最大直径4.2米，是目前我国最大的单舱主动飞行器。The flexible solar panels of the lab are the largest of their kind in China. When fully unfolded, they are more than 55 meters long and have a combined area of nearly 280 square meters.问天实验舱太阳翼单翼展开阵面加上一些安装结构，长度接近28米，两个太阳翼全部展开将近56米，比空间站三个舱组合在一起的舱体尺寸还要大，且一个太阳翼阵面面积可达100多平方米。After Wentian is connected to the Tianhe module, its airlock cabin will replace the one on Tianhe to become the main place for astronauts to put on their spacewalk suits and move out of the space station."Its inner space is bigger than that of the airlock cabin on the core module while its hatch is wider, making it easier for astronauts to make preparations and carry out spacewalks," Zhang said.未来，气闸舱将成为整个空间站系统的主要出舱通道。气闸舱比节点舱更加整洁，舱内只配置了与出舱相关的设备，没有其他管路电缆的羁绊；舱门直径达1米，比节点舱舱门直径大15厘米。“航天员从这里进进出出，可以更舒展、更从容，还能携带大个头的设备出舱工作，出舱能力大大提升。”张昊说。Inside the gigantic lab, there are eight scientific cabinets. They will mainly be used for biological and life science studies and can support research on the growth, aging and genetic traits of plants, animals and microbes in the environment of space, he said.在问天实验舱的工作舱里，配备了8个实验机柜，未来可以支持空间生命科学研究以及相应的一些变重力科学实验。开展拟南芥、线虫、果蝇、斑马鱼等动植物的空间生长实验，预期成果将促进人类对生命现象本质的理解，揭示微重力对生物个体生长、发育与衰老的影响，探索空间辐射生物学和生命起源机理，并为航天员健康和防护提供科学依据。Outside the airlock cabin, there are 22 extravehicular payload adapters capable of carrying scientific equipment needed for experiments that require exposure to the space environment, cosmic rays,vacuumand solar winds, Zhang added.在气闸舱外的暴露实验平台上，还配置了22个标准载荷接口。在空间站搭载的科学实验载荷，可以通过机械臂精准‘投送'到自己对应的载荷接口位置，不再需要航天员出舱进行人工操作，既降低了航天员的工作强度和风险，又可以灵活高效支持舱外载荷试验。"In addition to its scientific functions, Wentian also serves as a backup control station to the Tianhe core module in case of emergencies or malfunctions. It has all the same flight-control devices as those inside the core module to operate the entire Tiangong station," Zhang said.“除了科学实验，问天实验舱还可以作为天和核心舱的备用控制站，以应对紧急情况或故障。它的飞行控制装置与运行整个天宫空间站的核心舱内部的控制装置相同。”The designer added that the craft also has three separate sleeping quarters and an independent section for personal hygiene. They can be used in emergencies orhandoversby two crews.问天实验舱的工作舱内设有3个睡眠区和1个卫生区，可在紧急情况或两组航天员乘组交接时使用。Wentian also has a five-meter robotic arm that can be used to move small and medium-sized equipment. It can be linked with the 10-meter robotic arm on the Tianhe module to create a joint arm capable of reaching all major parts of the Tiangong station, according to the designer.问天实验舱的小机械臂长度约5米，承载能力为3吨，其设计目的是抓握中小型设备，进行更为精细化的操作。天和核心舱配备的大机械臂展开长度达10米、最大承载质量25吨。大小机械臂还可以组合使用，组成约15米长的组合臂，开展更多的舱外操作。Engineering marvel工程奇迹Pang Zhihao, an observer of manned spaceflights, said the Wentian program is one of the most challenging and sophisticated space programs China has embarked on.载人航天飞行观察员庞之浩表示，问天实验舱是中国已经开始的最具挑战性和最复杂的航天计划之一。"You can imagine just how difficult it must have been to design, manufacture and deploy such a massive, advanced space lab," he said.“设计、制造和部署如此庞大、先进的太空实验室非常困难。”"Now that it has been successfully launched, new challenges are emerging in terms of its flight control, trajectory maneuvers and docking. Both Wentian and Tianhe are big and heavy while there are astronauts inside the Tianhe. We have no prior experience of connecting two spacecraft of this size."“现在问天实验舱已经成功发射，在飞行控制、弹道机动和对接方面会出现新的挑战。问天实验舱和天和空间站都是又大又重，而天和空间站里面还有宇航员。我们之前没有将两个如此大的航天器连接起来的经验。”Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, called the space lab a "marvel of modern engineering and technology". He said that once scientific equipment inside Wentian begins to operate, the equipment will become valuable assets for scientists around the world by making many new science ideas possible and fostering international cooperation.《航天知识》杂志主编王亚男称该空间实验室是“现代工程技术的奇迹”。他说，一旦问天内部的科学设备开始运行，它将成为世界各地科学家的宝贵资产，它会带来新的科学思想，并促进国际合作。Mission planners said the Tiangong station's second lab, Mengtian, will be lifted by a Long March 5B from Wenchang in October.任务规划人员表示，天宫空间站的第二个实验室——梦天实验舱将于10月由长征五号B运载火箭从文昌发射升空。After it is connected with the Tiangong, the station will form a T-shaped structure and astronauts will have as much as 110 cubic meters of usable space.梦天实验舱与天宫空间站对接后，空间站将形成一个T型结构，宇航员将有多达110立方米的可用空间。After the labs, the Tianzhou 5 cargo craft and the Shenzhou XV crew are scheduled to arrive at the massive orbiting outpost around the end of the year.在梦天实验舱之后，在今年年底还将实施天舟五号货运飞船和神舟十五号载人飞船发射任务。Upon its completion, the Tiangong will be manned regularly by groups of three astronauts in periods usually lasting six months. During handovers to a new three-astronaut group, the station will accommodate up to six astronauts.天宫空间站建成后，将定期由三名宇航员组成的小组进行载人飞行，时间通常为六个月。问天实验舱可以与核心舱一起支持两艘载人飞船轮换期间6名航天员的生活。In the long run, the orbiting outpost will be capable of docking with multiple crewed and cargo ships at the same time and will also be able to link with foreign spacecraft if they have a Chinese-standard docking hatch.从长远来看，天宫空间站能够同时与多艘载人飞船和货船对接，如果其他国家航天器有中国标准的对接舱口也可对接。Currently, Tiangong is manned by the Shenzhou XIV mission crew, who entered the station late on June 5, several hours after their spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China.目前，天宫空间站由神舟十四号乘组运行。6月5日，神舟十四号载人飞行在酒泉卫星发射中心发射成功。The third group of Tiangong occupants, Chen and his teammates are scheduled to stay in the station for six months to monitor the assembly of the colossal station in space.作为天宫空间站的第三批宇航员乘组，宇航员陈冬、刘洋（女）和蔡旭哲预计在空间站停留6个月，以监测空间站在太空中的组装过程。The flight of the three astronauts has inaugurated a 10-year period in which, barring unforeseen circumstances, Chinese astronauts will be in space every day.在接下来10年中，太空中每天都会有中国宇航员。blast off英[blɑ:st ɔf]美[blæst ɔf]V.炸掉[炸毁]某物； 离地升空，发射coastal英[ˈkəʊstl]美[ˈkoʊstl]adj. 近海的，沿海的cutting-edge英['kʌtɪŋ'edʒ]美['kʌtɪŋ'edʒ]adj.前沿的，最前沿的equivalent英[ɪˈkwɪvələnt]美[ɪˈkwɪvələnt]adj.相等的，相同的vacuum英[ˈvækjuːm]美[ˈvækjuːm]n.真空; 空白; 空虚; 清洁Handover英[ˈhændəʊvə(r)]美[ˈhændoʊvər]n. 移交; 交接

From astronauts to submariners, here are some practical ways to boost your well-being and stave off cabin fever during those weeks stuck at home. 為減緩武漢肺炎的傳播，全世界有數十億人忽然得要適應政府的抗疫措施，以保持社交距離。對此，幾位習於禁足狀態的專業人士提供了一些訣竅。從太空人到潛水艇人員，以下是他們所提供的實用方法，可以讓你待在家這幾週的健康情況改善，並避免幽閉煩躁症。 ‘Have a schedule' Scott Kelly, a retired NASA astronaut, spent nearly a year aboard the International Space Station. He told AFP that mindset was crucial. “People need to have the right expectation, we don't know when this is gonna be over,” he said. “We could be in this for the long haul so your mindset needs to be: I'm living a similar thing to living in space for a year, I need to have a schedule, I need to get up at a regular time, to go to sleep at a regular time.” He also said exercise was key for both physical and mental well-being while confined. “You need to schedule time for exercise. If you cannot get out if you don't have a garden, raise the window shade, open the window and stick your head outside, make that part of daily routine.” 「按表操課」 自美國太空總署退休的太空人史考特‧凱利，曾在國際太空站待了將近一年。他告訴法新社說，心態是至關重要的。他說：「我們不知道這情況何時會結束，人們必須有這正確的預期心理」。「我們可能會處於這種狀態很長的時間，因此你的心態應該是這樣：我現在就像是要在太空生活一年，我需要有作息時間表，需要定時起床、定時去睡覺」。他還說，禁足在家時，運動對於身體和心理的健康至關重要。「你需要安排運動的時間。如果你沒有花園、不能出去，那就拉起窗簾、打開窗戶，然後把頭伸到外面，把它排程為每日例行公事之一」。 Find your mission For Vincent Larnaudie-Eiffel, a former commander of a nuclear submarine, working well in confinement means finding and investing in your own personal “mission.” Just like on board the sub, “stuck in our apartments, we all share a mission and that is to protect others, medical workers, and successfully navigate this ordeal.” He said it was important to establish a daily routine and stick to it. “You can't give in... you need to do something with this suspended time.” For Larnaudie-Eiffel and his crewmates, this involved building models or growing plants under artificial light during their spare time. “It's also important that everyone has their own space,” he told AFP. “In a submarine it might be a cramped bed-space. It's the same in a cramped apartment.” 找到你的使命 對曾任核子潛艇司令官的凡松‧拉諾迪—艾菲爾來說，在居家隔離時把工作做好，意味找到你自己的「使命」並投入其中。如同在潛艇中一樣，「我們困在公寓裡，所有人都有著共同的使命，那就是保護別人、保護醫療人員，並成功度過這嚴酷的考驗」。他說，建立一套每日例行程序並堅持下去，是很重要的。「你不能屈服……你必須用這段停擺的時間來做點事情」。對於拉諾迪—艾菲爾及其潛艇組員來說，這包括在閒暇時組裝模型，或是利用人造光種植物。「每個人都有自己的空間也是很重要的」，他告訴法新社說。「在潛水艇中，此個人空間或許是個狹窄的床位。若是身處狹小的公寓，也是一樣的道理」。 ‘Try new things' Sailor Isabelle Autissier was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe alone. This involved a lot of time to herself. But she said she never felt lonely because “I chose to be alone.” For people stuck at home she recommends using the time “to try new things, reading, listening to different music, write your journal, take photos, start drawing.” Above all it's important that people don't look too far ahead. When she was at sea, facing an indeterminate amount of time alone “the first thing is not to count the days,” said Autissier. “You can't constantly be thinking I'll get there in three months, in a month, in 10 minutes.” 「嘗試新事物」 航海家伊莎貝‧歐提西耶是第一位獨自環繞地球航行的女性。要完成此舉，她必須孤身一人很長一段時間。但她說她從不覺得孤獨，因為「是我選擇了獨自一人」。對於那些困在家裡的人，她建議可以利用這段時間「嘗試新事物、閱讀、聽不同的音樂、寫日記、拍照、開始畫畫」。最重要的，是不要想得太遠。歐提西耶說，當她在海上時，面對不知將會持續多久的獨處時間，「第一件事就是不要去數日子」。「你不能一直去想說我會在三個月、一個月、十分鐘後抵達那裡」。 ‘Morale dips are normal' Cyprien Verseux, an astrobiologist at Germany's University of Bremen, once spent over a year in a small pod with five other volunteers simulating conditions in a future mission to Mars. “It's normal for your morale and productivity to dip,” he said. “That's not a sign of weakness. Don't add guilt to your problems.” When in confinement for the experiment, Verseux wasn't allowed outside and was forbidden from communicating in real time with the outside world. “Even if we don't all react the same to confinement we can adopt good practise that makes these periods more manageable,” he said. He recommends choosing one or two activities and practising hard. “Also do your sport, light weights, do yoga, zumba... even if there's a lack of space there are solutions to stay in shape,” he said. 「士氣低落是正常的」 德國不來梅大學的天體生物學家西普揚‧維索曾與五名志願者一起，在一個小艙裡待了一年多，模擬未來火星探索任務之情境。 他說：「你的士氣和生產力下降是正常的」。「這並不表示你軟弱。不要把罪惡感再加到你的問題上頭」。 維索參與這禁足的實驗時，不能到艙外，也被禁止與外界進行即時溝通。他說：「即便我們對被禁足的反應不同，我們也可以採用一些好的做法，來使這些時間更容易度過」。 他建議選擇一、兩項活動並努力練習。他說：「你也可以做運動、減肥、做瑜伽、跳森巴舞……即使空間不足，也可以找到解決辦法來維持身材」。 Stay in touch In 2009, astronaut Frank de Winne became the first European to command the International Space Station. He said it was vital to maintain human contact, even if only electronically. “Means of communication are there, you have to make the effort and use them,” he said. The Belgian, now in quarantine on Earth, makes sure to video call his elderly mother at the same time each day. “That allows her to see me. It also creates a bit of structure for her because she knows that I'm going to call her,” he said. 保持聯繫 太空人法蘭克‧德溫勒在二○○九年成為指揮國際太空站的第一位歐洲人。他說，保持人與人之間的聯繫極為重要，即便只是透過電子的方式。「我們已經有了溝通的工具，你必須付諸行動來運用它」。比利時籍的他現正在地球上進行隔離，且每天一定會在同樣的時間跟年邁的母親視訊通話。他說：「這讓她可以看到我。這也給她一個時間框架，因為她知道我會在這時候打電話給她」。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/03/31/2003733674   Next Article   Topic: NASA and Tide team up to do laundry in space Tide is going to outer space. The Procter & Gamble brand is partnering with NASA to keep astronauts' spacesuits fresh, even on Mars. 汰漬正在前往外太空。這個寶鹼公司的品牌正與美國航太總署合作，維持太空人太空服的乾淨，即便是在火星。 Company and NASA scientists have created a fully degradable detergent that will clean clothes without wasting water. 該公司與NASA科學家已經創造一款完全可自然分解的洗滌劑，不用浪費水就能潔淨衣物。 Over the next decade, they'll be testing fabric care products, including Tide pens and wipes, at the International Space Station and on missions to the moon and Mars. 在未來10年中，他們將在國際太空站與登月、登火星的任務中，測試織物照護產品，包括汰漬的筆與濕紙巾。 The months or even years that astronauts spend away from Earth means that their spacesuits and clothes can become smelly and stained. Clothes have to be reworn several times before they are ejected with other waste into the atmosphere or sent back to Earth as trash. A crew member will receive 160 pounds of clothes per year through resupply shipments. 太空人離開地球數月，甚至數年的時間，意味著他們的太空服與衣物會變臭且染色。這些衣物與其他廢物被拋入大氣層或當成垃圾送回地球前，必須重複穿著許多次。1名組員每年將透過補給，拿到160磅重的衣物。   Next Article   Topic: Russia wants to return to Venus, build reusable rocket 俄羅斯希望重返金星，打造可重複使用的火箭 The head of Russia's space agency said Friday that Roscosmos wants to return to Venus and bring back soil samples and build spacecraft that will surpass Elon Musk's rockets. 俄羅斯太空機構負責人週五說，俄羅斯航太太空活動國有公司（Roscosmos）想重返金星 ，帶回土壤樣本，並打造超越（太空探索科技公司）創辦人穆斯克的火箭的太空船。 "We are making a methane rocket to replace the Soyuz-2," Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said in an interview with state news agency RIA Novosti. 「我們正在打造一種甲烷火箭取代聯合2號火箭（Soyuz-2）」，俄羅斯航太總裁羅戈辛在接受國營「俄羅斯新聞社」訪問時說。 He said it will be a reusable space complex, noting that it will be possible to use its first stage at least 100 times. 他說，新火箭將是可以重複使用的太空綜合體，並強調第一節將有望重複使用至少100次。 "Of course we are looking at what our American colleagues are doing," said Rogozin. "But our engineers are trying to take a shortcut － not to repeat what our SpaceX colleagues are doing but surpass them." 「我們當然有在關注美國同業的進展」，羅戈辛說。「但我們的工程師正試圖抄近路—不是重複SpaceX在做的事，而是超越他們。」Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1457274; https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1395146   Next Article   Topic: Chinese rocket's chaotic fall to Earth highlights problem of space junk Remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on May 9, ending days of speculation over where the debris would hit and drawing US criticism over a lack of transparency. 中國最大火箭之殘骸已在五月九日墜落印度洋，讓數天來對殘骸究竟將撞擊何處的猜測告一段落，也引起美國對此事缺乏透明度的批評。 But the fiery fate of a booster rocket, wherever it comes down, speaks to the larger issue of space debris and space sustainability, especially as space becomes a target not just for national space programs but also increasingly the private sector. Under international treaty, private space actors, who are expected to put 45,000 satellites in low Earth orbit over the next several years, are under the legal responsibility of their host nations. 火箭推進器在熊熊烈焰中的宿命，無論它掉在哪裡，都觸及太空垃圾與太空永續性這更大的問題，尤其此時太空不僅成為國家太空計畫之標的，也愈趨成為私有公司之標的。在未來幾年中，經營太空業務的私有公司將把四萬五千顆衛星送入低空地球軌道，而根據國際條約規定，法律責任是由其東道國所承擔。 Add to that an estimated 9,300 tonnes of space junk that is already orbiting the planet and the probability of space collisions and debris pollution is an issue of concern. 此外，據估計，現已有九千三百噸太空垃圾在繞著地球轉，太空中的碰撞與垃圾污染問題令人關注。 Previously, a piece of paint the size of a fingernail struck the windscreen of a space shuttle, piercing two of three layers of glass. 此前，一塊指甲大小的油漆打到一艘太空船的擋風玻璃，刺穿了三層厚玻璃的其中兩層。 The fate of Long March 5B could refocus governments and international bodies on the issue of space sustainability, and that could provide more opportunity to firms like UK-based Astroscale that are preparing to tackle the debris problem with commercial junk-collecting services. 長征五號的命運可能使政府及國際組織重新關注太空的永續性問題，而可能給像英國的Astroscale這樣的公司帶來更多機會，這些公司正準備提供收集垃圾之商業化服務，以解決太空垃圾問題。 Astroscale is currently demonstrating a vehicle called “ELSA-d” in lower Earth orbit to show that space debris clean-up is indeed possible. It is a fiendishly difficult task, especially if the target satellite is spinning and tumbling. The test is using a satellite to capture a test drone with a magnet. In time, larger objects will require a robotic arm. Astroscale正在地球較低軌道展示一種名為「ELSA-d」的運載工具，以證明清除太空垃圾的確可行。這是一項艱鉅的任務，尤其是目標衛星處於旋轉與翻滾的情況時。該測試透過衛星進行，以磁鐵來捕獲測試用無人機，最後也會需要用到機械臂來抓取較大的物體。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/05/17/2003757510  

Russia planning to launch own space station Russia is ready to start building its own space station with the aim of launching it into orbit by 2030 if President Vladimir Putin gives the go-ahead, the head of its Roscosmos space agency said on April 21. The project would mark a new chapter for Russian space exploration and an end to more than two decades of close cooperation with the United States aboard the aging International Space Station. Russian cosmonauts have worked with counterparts from the U.S. and 16 other countries aboard the ISS since 1998 — one of the closest fields of cooperation between Moscow and Washington, whose relations are currently in deep crisis over human rights and a range of other issues. (Reuters) Chinese rocket debris lands in Indian Ocean Remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on May 9, with most of its components destroyed upon reentry into the atmosphere, ending days of speculation over where the debris would hit but drawing U.S. criticism over lack of transparency. The coordinates given by Chinese state media, citing the China Manned Space Engineering Office, put the point of impact in the ocean, west of the Maldives archipelago. The debris is from the Long March 5B, which blasted off from China's Hainan island on April 29. (Reuters) These articles were provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

China launched its seventh manned spaceflight on Thursday morning, sending three astronauts to the core module of its permanent space station.A 20-story-tall Long March 2F carrier rocket blasted off at 9:22 am at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert, hurtling into the blue sky with the Shenzhou XII spacecraft on top of the gigantic rocket.▲ A 20-story-tall Long March 2F carrier rocket blasts off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert, June 17, 2021. Photo by Su Dong/chinadaily.com.cnGeneral Xu Qiliang, a vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the Chinese military, along with other senior officials watched the mission's launch at the Jiuquan center.Shenzhou XII, which is carrying three astronauts – Major General Nie Haisheng, Major General Liu Boming and Senior Colonel Tang Hongbo, is set to rendezvous and then dock with the core module, named Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens, in a matter of hours. Then the crew will float into the module and start their three-month mission inside the craft, the first, and central, section of China's space station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace.The all-male crew is tasked with testing and verifying plans, technologies and equipment for crucial elements in the Tiangong station's construction and operation, such as astronauts' long-term mission arrangements, life-support system, in-orbit resupply, extravehicular activity as well as spacecraft maintenance and repair.They are also assigned with carrying out other space tasks and experiments in Tianhe.During this mission, astronauts are scheduled to conduct two extravehicular operations, popularly known as spacewalks, to use mechanical arms to install equipment and check Tianhe's external condition.Their work will enable the China Manned Space Agency to accumulate experience and check the capability, performance and compatibility of systems involved in the space station program to prepare for the next steps in its construction, said Ji Qiming, the agency's assistant director.Tianhe was lifted by a Long March 5B heavy-lift rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province on April 29.▲ A see-off ceremony for three Chinese astronauts of the Shenzhou XII manned space mission is held at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China, June 17, 2021. Photo by Su Dong/for chinadaily.com.cnThe biggest and heaviest spacecraft China has ever constructed, Tianhe is 16.6-meter-long and has a diameter of 4.2 meters. The craft's weight, at 22.5 tons, is equal to the combined weight of 15 standard-size automobiles. It has three parts-a connecting section, a life-support and control section, and a resources section.The module will be central to the Tiangong station's operations, given that astronauts will live there and control the entire station from inside. It will also be used to host scientific and technological experiments.The craft is now connected with the Tianzhou 2 robotic cargo ship that was launched by a Long March 7 rocket from the Wenchang facility on May 29. The two crafts docked with each other the next day.Tianzhou 2 is now containing packages of living materials and mission payloads for Nie and his crew members to use, and propellants that will be used to refuel the core module.Based on project plans, the Tianzhou 3 cargo ship will be launched in September to dock with Tianhe and the next month, another three-crew team will fly with the Shenzhou XIII to the module to stay there for six months.In 2022, two large space labs will be launched to connect with the core module. Moreover, two manned missions and two robotic cargo flights will be made that year to continue construction of the Tiangong station, which is scheduled to become complete and start formal operation around the end of 2022.One of China's most adventurous space endeavors, Tiangong will consist of three main components -- a core module attached to two space labs -- with a combined weight of nearly 70 metric tons. The entire station is set to work for about 15 years.Upon its completion, Tiangong will be manned regularly by groups of three astronauts in periods lasting several months. During handovers to new three-astronaut groups, the station will accommodate up to six astronauts.记者：赵磊

This week on Sinica, Kaiser chats with Andrew Jones, a Helsinki-based reporter who over the last several years has secured a place as the go-to English-language journalist covering China's space program. With the successful arrival of the Tianwen spacecraft in Martian orbit and the deployment of the Zhurong Mars rover, China is catching up quickly with NASA in space exploration milestones. But China's space program also comes in for criticism for its opacity and for potentially dangerous practices — like the uncontrolled reentry of a large Long March 5B rocket in early May.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K126: Chinese rocket's chaotic fall to Earth highlights problem of space junk   Remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on May 9, ending days of speculation over where the debris would hit and drawing US criticism over a lack of transparency. 中國最大火箭之殘骸已在五月九日墜落印度洋，讓數天來對殘骸究竟將撞擊何處的猜測告一段落，也引起美國對此事缺乏透明度的批評。 But the fiery fate of a booster rocket, wherever it comes down, speaks to the larger issue of space debris and space sustainability, especially as space becomes a target not just for national space programs but also increasingly the private sector. Under international treaty, private space actors, who are expected to put 45,000 satellites in low Earth orbit over the next several years, are under the legal responsibility of their host nations. 火箭推進器在熊熊烈焰中的宿命，無論它掉在哪裡，都觸及太空垃圾與太空永續性這更大的問題，尤其此時太空不僅成為國家太空計畫之標的，也愈趨成為私有公司之標的。在未來幾年中，經營太空業務的私有公司將把四萬五千顆衛星送入低空地球軌道，而根據國際條約規定，法律責任是由其東道國所承擔。 Add to that an estimated 9,300 tonnes of space junk that is already orbiting the planet and the probability of space collisions and debris pollution is an issue of concern. 此外，據估計，現已有九千三百噸太空垃圾在繞著地球轉，太空中的碰撞與垃圾污染問題令人關注。 Previously, a piece of paint the size of a fingernail struck the windscreen of a space shuttle, piercing two of three layers of glass. 此前，一塊指甲大小的油漆打到一艘太空船的擋風玻璃，刺穿了三層厚玻璃的其中兩層。 The fate of Long March 5B could refocus governments and international bodies on the issue of space sustainability, and that could provide more opportunity to firms like UK-based Astroscale that are preparing to tackle the debris problem with commercial junk-collecting services. 長征五號的命運可能使政府及國際組織重新關注太空的永續性問題，而可能給像英國的Astroscale這樣的公司帶來更多機會，這些公司正準備提供收集垃圾之商業化服務，以解決太空垃圾問題。 Astroscale is currently demonstrating a vehicle called “ELSA-d” in lower Earth orbit to show that space debris clean-up is indeed possible. It is a fiendishly difficult task, especially if the target satellite is spinning and tumbling. The test is using a satellite to capture a test drone with a magnet. In time, larger objects will require a robotic arm. Astroscale正在地球較低軌道展示一種名為「ELSA-d」的運載工具，以證明清除太空垃圾的確可行。這是一項艱鉅的任務，尤其是目標衛星處於旋轉與翻滾的情況時。該測試透過衛星進行，以磁鐵來捕獲測試用無人機，最後也會需要用到機械臂來抓取較大的物體。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/05/17/2003757510   更多Podcast單元: 每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 精選詞彙 VOCAB Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 語音直播 15mins Live Podcast, 就在https://www.15mins.today/15mins-live-podcast 文法練習 In-TENSE Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense 用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。   老師互動信箱: ask15mins@gmail.com 商業合作洽詢: 15minstoday@gmail.com  

Das wichtigste Vorweg: SpaceX' Starship SN15 ist wohlbehalten zur Basis zurückgefallen, gelandet und "enttankt" worden. Damit ist es der erste Prototyp, der den Flugtest aus mittlerer Höhe erfolgreich absolviert! Ansonsten sprechen wir über unkontrollierte Abstürze, Kryptowährungen, Teleskope auf dem Mond, Teslas Full Self Driving, die neue Ladesäulenverordnung und eine Reihe kleinerer Schlagzeilen.

China's rocket - Long March-5B - is crashing down to Earth and has now landed in the Indian Ocean. Let's discuss the challenges of space flight and the future of entrepreneurship in space.

This week we present two more Starlink launches, another Chinese launch, the test launch and landing of SN15, and the re-entry of the Long March 5B core stage that failed its deorbit burn last week. Plus, this week in rocket history, we look back at the launch of Alan Shepard and Freedom 7 on May 5th, 1961.(edited)

La Oficina de Ingeniería Espacial Tripulada de China informa que los restos del cohete Long March 5B cayeron en el océano Indico. China había lanzado el Long March 5B el pasado 29 de abril para poner en órbita una sección de la estación espacial que ese país está construyendo.

The era of US crew transitions onboard the International Space Station has resumed with the launch of the Crew 2 mission to the orbiting facility and the return of the Crew -1 astronauts via the Commercial Crew Space X Crew Dragon Capsule. The flight is also is a moment of history in both the United States, Europe, and Japan in their space program as well, and the team brings all into perspective. Also, Sawyer Rosenstein was on hand for the Crew-2 Launch and collected some great sounds of the SpaceX Falcon 9 as it reaches for the Space Station with its multinational crew on board.   China places the first segment of its space station to orbit, but it's not without consequences to those back on Earth. The core stage of the Long March 5B booster was not equipped to be disposed of properly while on orbit. We explore some of the implications of this with our own Dr. Kat Robison.   A new NASA Administrator has been installed, and it's someone who is no stranger to US space policy and politics. Former Senator Bill Nelson has been sworn in as NASA's 14th Administrator, and the team has no shortage of observations and opinions to share on how the new Administrator's tenure may unfold.   The Human Landing System decision was handed down in recent weeks, but the single provider decision is not without controversy. We debate the wisdom of the decision and why the two other providers under consideration have filed protests.   To close the show for this week, we make the passing of a true gentleman who has forever made a mark in human space history. NASA Astronaut Michael Collins passed away at the age of 90 after a battle with cancer. The team celebrates his life and his accomplishments.   All that and more on this installment of Talking Space.   Show recorded: 5-4-2021   Host: Sawyer Rosenstein Panelists: Dr. Kat Robison, Gene Mikulka

An out-of-control Chinese rocket plunged out of orbit Saturday night ET and reentered Earth's atmosphere, according to China's space agency. The Long March 5B carrier rocket had an estimated landing area of 72.47°E longitude and 2.65°N latitude, just west of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, China's National Space Agency said in a post on WeChat. Most of the rocket was "destroyed" on reentry to the atmosphere, the space agency said.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

It's the Foreign Influence Podcast, with American Bill Poorman and Dutchman Nikolaj Groeneweg taking you on a humorously serious and seriously humorous romp through the fortnight's international events. This time: • Happy Mother's Day to all whom it may concern! And a special thank you to our own two special "birthing people".  • We've all survived the Chinese spaceship apocalypse, as the Long March 5B booster rocket fell into the ocean somewhere just southwest of India. Well, at least that's what we're told. • Covid continues to ravage India and South America. With a surplus of doses in the US, maybe it can start helping out. • A critical pipeline that supplies half the gas (petrol) and diesel to the east coast of the US shut down after a cyberattack. Why in the hell is this system attached to the internet? • The United Kingdom held elections. Now we have to think about whether Scotland will leave the UK for the EU. Good times. Thanks, Brexit! • And some good news - the US might really, kind of, possibly leave Afghanistan. Breath held... Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Dongfang Hour China Aero/Space News Roundup!  Without further ado, the news update from the week of 3 - 9 May.1) China’s Long March 5B first stage re-enters Earth’s atmosphere and (seemingly) lands in the Indian Ocean10 days or so ago, China launched a Long March 5B rocket to put into orbit the core module of the Chinese Space Station. As mentioned last week, this rocket is a beast: it weighs over 800t at lift-off, can put up to 25t of payload into LEO, and is comparable to some of the largest operational rockets at the moment.Now as there was no upper stage, the core stage delivered the Tianhe module directly to orbit, and then enters successive decaying orbits before re-entering the atmosphere. In the case of this launch, the Long March 5B splashed down in the Indian Ocean, without creating any damage.2) JZYJ Completes Hot Test of Whole EngineLaunch startup JZYJ announced on Thursday 6 May that they had conducted a hot fire test of the fully-assembled Longyun engine. The Longyun engine is a 80t thrust gas generator cycle engine which burns liquid methane and liquid oxygen, and one of the two engines designed by China launch startup Jiuzhou Yunjian, the other one being the Lingyun engine which is a 10t thrust methalox engine (and which was the first engine they developed). This is one of the first test firings of the Longyun engine, with likely many more to come to test different levels of thrust and restarting the rocket engine multiple times, two key features for any VTVL reusable rocket.3) CASSPACE announces B+ Funding RoundOn 6 May CASSPACE announced a ~200M B+ round of funding. The announcement also noted that they have raised around RMB 600M in the past year from CAS, Yuexiu Capital, Zhongxin, Hunan Aviation and Aerospace Fund (湖南航空航天基金), etc. The article mentions that CASSPACE will have their first launch in H2 2021 of a solid-fueled rocket, and that their rocket is part of the CAS’s 13th Five-Year Plan Space Science and Technology Projects.  The rocket will have a payload to SSO of 1.5 tons, and has already completed a variety of tests.A lot of money being put into CASSPACE recently, and indeed, this is not the only second-tier/second-generation launch company to be having a big year. 2021 has seen Tianbing Aerospace and JZYJ also raise more money while reaching various technological milestones, while also seeing new entrants such as “Rocket Group” of Huzhou (火箭派).4) OneSpace “close to” raising a new round of funding for its Linglong solid and liquid fueled rockets, plans to IPO in 2022We heard over the past week in the Chinese media that OneSpace was close to raising new round of funding. This seems to confirm the comeback of the rocket company, which was rumored to be in dire straits after failing the orbital launch attempt of its OSM solid-fueled rocket. As reported in the DFH episode of Feb 1-7, OneSpace had successfully raised a round of funding in September 2020, and successfully performed a suborbital launch of an OS-X (6B) rocket in February 2021. The fact that they may be able to raise another round of funding a mere 7-8 months after the previous round shows the renewed attractiveness of the company. -------------------- This has been another episode of the Dongfang Hour China Aero/Space News Roundup.

We were live this morning as the booster stage of China's latest Long March 5B to launch returned to Earth. Space archaeologist Professor Alice Gorman, spaceflight commentator Jonathan Gorman and Space Law expert Duncan Blake were our expert guests as we presented a 6 hour marathon waiting for the return of the rocket body. The post Long March 5B Booster Falls Into Indian Ocean – China Dodges An International Incident appeared first on Trekzone.

China has announced that the remnants of its Long March-5B rocket reentered the Earth's atmosphere at 10:24 on Sunday morning.

The short life in space of the Long March 5B Chinese rocket is coming to an end, and that'll be today. This rocket booster, part of a heavy lift launch vehicle they call it, this 22-ton, 30-meter-tall, 5-meter-in-diameter piece of space junk reached orbital velocity instead of falling within a predetermined area as it was carrying up part of China's Space Station. We've been told it could come down, or parts of it, however unlikely, in New Zealand north of Wellington, but there's a 70 percent chance it'll hit the water somewhere on its crash path. Physics professor Richard Easther from the University of Auckland has taken an interest in Long March 5B.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Dongfang Hour China Aero/Space News Roundup! Without further ado, the news update from the week of 26 April - 2 May.1) Chinese Space Station: launch of the core Module Tianhe on-board Launch March 5BOn April 29 2021, China successfully sent the first module of the Chinese Space Station into orbit. The module was a 22.5-ton core module called Tianhe (天和, or “heavenly peace”). It was launched aboard a Long March 5B.Tianhe is rightfully named the core module: it will be the centerpiece of the station which will host living quarters for the taikonauts, a bathroom, a kitchen, it will also be the main control unit (attitude, trajectory control), handles the fuel, power and air management systems. It is designed to host 3 taikonauts, and can hold up to 6 taikonauts during rotations. The Tianhe module will be joined next year by the Mengtian and Wentian experimental modules.In 2024, the Chinese space station will also be joined by a space telescope called Xuntian, which will not be physically connected to the station but will evolve in the vicinity, and docking only for maintenance purposes.2) Creation of a New Space SoE China SatNetMajor news update on Thursday 29 April which first came in the form of a press release from SASAC. The press release announced the creation of a China Satellite Networks Group Company, potentially SatNet for short, and puts that company under the direct administration of SASAC. SatNet is tasked with deploying and operating China’s LEO broadband constellation, widely speculated to be GuoWang. The creation of a SatNet company at this level of the SOE hierarchy is hugely significant. SatNet is, at least in theory, at the same level in the hierarchy as CASC, CASIC, and the big 3 telcos (all of which are also directly controlled by SASAC). If we compare this to the previous arrangement, you had China’s biggest broadband project being done by CASC (Hongyan), and another by CASIC (Hongyun), with both projects involving subsidiary companies with multiple shareholders (for example, Hongyan’s operating company, MacroNet, has shareholders including CASC, China Telecom, and CETC). This would have meant, presumably, that projects like Hongyan would have mostly used the technology of CASC, Hongyun would have used technology for CASIC, and the innovation and competition would have occurred in the long-term, after we find out how these constellations work.  On the other hand, the current situation with SatNet being at the same level as CASC, CASIC, the telcos, etc., means that it should, at least in theory, have a lot more freedom of choice in its sourcing options. 3) Long March 6 launches a Batch of 9 Smallsats into Orbit, many payloads of interestOn April 27th, China launched an impressive launch share mission on-board a Long March 6, putting 9 satellites into orbit. These satellites were:Qilu-1 and Qilu-4. Qilu-1 is a SAR satellite. Qilu-4 on the other hand is a high-resolution panchromatic EO satellite .Foshan-1 is a high res panchromatic EO satellite meant to be a technology verification platform of the Foshan-based Jihua Laboratory.Zhong’an Guotong-1 satellite (also called Hangsheng-1)Guodian Gaoke’s Tianqi-9 IoT satellite, developed by ASES Space.Origin Space’s NEO-1: a technology verification satellite, meant to trial the capture of a small celestial body and various orbital maneuvers.Golden Bauhinia-1-01 and -02 are two remote sensing satellites.Taijing-2 satellite, manufactued by Minospace, will be used primarily for remote sensing, and is the third satellite launched to be based on the MN-50 platform.  ---------------------------------------- Follow us on YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, as an audio podcast, and on our official website: https://www.dongfanghour.com/
