Gas flow control device equipped with Temple No.1

At 17:07 on June 18, our astronauts opened the door to Tiangong and entered Tiangong 1. It is reported that the Tiangong No. 1 trial cabin is surrounded by cabinets with consoles, dashboards, lighting, and other equipment. In addition, there are condensate network devices, gas flow regulators, space suits, temperature control and conditioning devices.

At 17:07 on June 18, our astronauts opened the door to Tiangong and entered Tiangong 1. This is an important moment and it is the first time that our country’s astronauts have met with on-orbit spacecraft. The astronaut opened the door equalization valve and the door in order to enter the spacecraft orbital module according to the ground instructions.

The first astronaut who entered the Temple of Heaven was Jing Haipeng. After a slight adaptation, Jing Haipeng was able to properly walk with the help of hand and foot restraints. Astronauts Liu Wang and Liu Yang subsequently entered the Tiangong-1 trial tank. This moment carries too much expectation and responsibility, but also carries a lot of joy.

Astronauts enter the “Heavenly Temple” from Shenzhou Ninth, and they must open three doors one by one. Astronauts are required to perform checks such as door detection and cabin pressure equalization. It takes nearly three hours. Three astronauts entered the Tiangong 1 and completed the work of sampling the gas and configuring the state of the aircraft. June 19 astronauts will fully carry out various space attempts and weightlessness protection methods.

It is reported that Tiangong No. 1 tries both sides of the cabin and is equipped with cabinets, consoles, dashboards, and lighting. After Tiangong No. 1 entered the orbit, the meter control device application software on it officially started operating. Therefore, astronauts can rely on the instrument's human-machine interface to achieve contact with the ground, including e-mail. Tiangong 1 is also equipped with a condensate network device, a gas flow control device, and a space suit temperature control device, which can be called "air conditioning" in the temple. At the same time, in order to prevent the astronauts from causing muscle atrophy due to long-term voyage tests, Tiangong 1 is also equipped with a neuromuscular stimulator.
