BEIJING, Jan. 14 (QNA) – China’s Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the orbiting Tiangong Space Station will carry out tasks including testing pipeline inspection robots starting in early 2025, according to the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA). He has conducted various experiments. ).
The astronauts placed the robot inside a simulated pipeline, powered it on, and pressed a task button to start the robot. After completing the inspection, the robot returned to the pipeline entrance and was retrieved by the astronauts.
The experiment validates key technologies such as robot design that adapts to a variety of complex pipelines and multi-level coordinated whole-body motion control in difficult pipeline environments, and supports automated pipeline inspection on the space station. CMSA said a strong technological foundation has been built for the
Meanwhile, when conducting space medicine experiments, the crew used electroencephalography equipment and software to perform a number of tests.
According to CMSA, the data collected will help researchers on the ground investigate areas such as the effects of gravity on visual-motor processing and the effects of brainwave music interventions on the modulation of inhibitory control functions during long-duration spaceflight. It’s said to be helpful.
The research team collected data on plantar pressure and joint kinematics using a variety of devices, obtained videos of running and resistance exercises under various loads, and determined the relationship between exercise parameters and plantar pressure. revealed.
In addition, astronauts will wear devices that track their movements and heart rates, as well as complete weekly sleep quality surveys to explore how the space environment affects human circadian rhythms. I’m doing it.
The crew, in collaboration with researchers on the ground, conducted a system-wide pressure emergency exercise that simulated the entire emergency response process in the event of an internal pressure loss on the space station.
CMSA said the training improved astronauts’ skills in dealing with emergencies and strengthened coordination between space and ground teams.
China launched the manned spacecraft Shenzhou 19 on October 30 last year, sending three astronauts, Cai Xuezhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze, to the orbiting space station for a six-month mission. carried out. (QNA)
