The 14th China Air Show opened today (November 8), and a batch of heavy equipment independently developed by my country will be unveiled at this air show. In the space museum, "old and new friends" gathered together, and the three-chamber combination of the Chinese space station and the "Three Musketeers" of the launch vehicle were all present.
CCTV reporter Li Ning: The reporter will take you to the air show. Today we are going to visit the space museum. It is essential to come to the space museum. First, we have to see the rocket. What we see now is the Long March 5B rocket, which is the rocket with the strongest carrying capacity in low-Earth orbit in my country.
Next to Chang 5B is our future heavy rocket - Long March 9. According to what I have learned so far, the Long March 9 has a carrying capacity near the ground of 140-160 tons. Theoretically speaking, in the future, one launch of the Long March 9 can send the entire space station into space, and from the appearance, we can clearly feel that it is larger than the nearby Long March 5B in terms of diameter and height. much. It is not the first time that the Long March 9 has been exhibited. I saw the Long March 9 at the Zhuhai Air Show last year, but the configuration has changed a lot since last year. First of all, the four boosters are gone, and it has become a polished rod configuration, and all the engines are concentrated under the core stage. In addition, there is something like a small wing next to the word "9", which is the grid wing. These two conditions indicate that the Long March 9 is likely to be a heavy-duty rocket that can be recovered in the future.
Next to Changjiu is a new generation of manned launch vehicle. Next to it is a very interesting rocket with a cross-section. We can take a closer look at Changliujia. This is also a new type of rocket that achieved its first flight this year. .
CCTV reporter Li Ning: The biggest star in the space museum is the three-chamber combination of the Chinese space station behind me. We know that not long ago, the three-chamber combination in space has just completed the in-orbit construction of the "T" basic configuration, and the combination will be presented in front of everyone in the form of a 1:1 model at this air show. In addition to the appearance we can see, there is a particularly bright spot this year that the audience can personally board the Tianhe Core Module and the Wentian Experimental Module to experience the beauty of the space station up close.
CCTV reporter Li Ning: Welcome to the Tianhe core module of the Chinese space station. As the first module of the Chinese space station to be launched, the Tianhe core module is responsible for the work of the brain of the entire space station. Now we see the sleeping area. Now we have come to the node cabin. On my left is the Mengtian experimental cabin, and on my right is the Wentian experimental cabin.
Now we have entered the Wentian Experimental Module. The Wentian Experimental Module is the first experimental module of the Chinese space station, so it undertakes a lot of experimental work. At the same time, the Wentian Experimental Module also has some special designs, such as its The sleeping area is completely different from the Tianhe core cabin, and adopts a three-quadrant design method, which greatly saves space.
CCTV reporter Li Ning: There is another product that has received a lot of attention in the space museum, which is the Phenom drone next to me. Last year, the Phenom drone made its debut. This year, the Phenom 97A was launched. It is an air-to-air drone. We can take a look at its magazine. There are 8 bombs in total. It can carry cruise bombs or air-to-air bucket bombs. In addition, there has been a very big change in the configuration, its air intake has been moved from the back to the side of the fuselage, and at the same time it has changed from a single engine to a double engine, which greatly increases its maneuverability in aerial combat .
CCTV reporter Li Ning: Now with laser engraving, the five rings of ice and snow are slowly rising, bringing us back to the scene of the exciting opening ceremony of this year's Winter Olympics. Behind these are also aerospace The help of technology. In addition, let’s look at this side. In addition to the stage performances of the opening and closing ceremonies in the Winter Olympics zone, there is also our first domestically-made bobsleigh, and our torch is also developed by the Aerospace Science and Technology Group. The rocket is used to make the torch.
