Chinese space station astronauts successfully exited the capsule for the first time, my country has mastered the core technology and application of large space manipulators

At 14:57 on July 4, 2021, Beijing time, after about 7 hours of exiting activities, the crew of Shenzhou 12 astronauts worked closely together and successfully completed all the scheduled tasks during the exiting activities. The astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo are safe The return to the core module of Tianhe marked the complete success of the first astronaut out of the space station in my country.

It is reported that the robot arm of the core module of the space station is operated byAerospace Science and TechnologyThe Group’s Fifth Academy has been researched and developed. It is currently the most complex, largest, and most precise space intelligent mechanical system among similar aerospace products. It is mainly responsible for the transposition of the cabin, the astronaut out of the cabin activities, the handling of extravehicular cargo, and the state of the outside of the cabin. Eight types of on-orbit tasks including inspection and maintenance of large-scale equipment outside the cabin. The unfolded length of the core compartment manipulator arm is 10.2 meters and can carry a weight of up to 25 tons. It is the “Hercules” in the mission of the space station.The robotic arm of the space station is one of the new fields in the development of my country’s aerospace industry.robotIndustry standards, leading the way for China’s manufacturing of space intelligent equipment.
