Shenzhou-10: China launches next manned space mission

[Audio]

Hey all, congratz on the docking.

what are those 4 grills at the top of the crew module, just above Chinese flag? Is that on the real thing too, or just in animation?

Illustrations recapping some of the activities from our previous SZ 9 space venture:

专用睡袋
天宫一号设有两个独立的睡眠区和单独的厕所，每个男女航天员都有专用的睡袋，另外还允许女航天员带一些无毒无污染的化妆品。

Special sleeping bag
TG 1 has two separate sleeping areas and a separate toilet, every man and woman taikonaut has a dedicated sleeping bag, and also allows the female astronaut to take some non-toxic pollution-free cosmetics.

头上功夫
太空站上航天员间还得分工合作，一人理发，一人拿着吸尘器吸走剪下的“惹麻烦”的头发。女航天员要保住长发只能用发卡或带子把它束住。

Head kung fu
Between the space station taikonauts had to share the work of one man haircut, a person holding a vacuum cleaner sucked cut "trouble" hair. To keep long hair female astronauts can only use the card or tape it to beam live.

热饭热菜
上海航天研制的低轨高压电源系统也将接受进一步的考验，通过供电能力的提升，有可能让我们的航天员在天上能够吃上热饭热菜。


Hot meals
Shanghai Aerospace developed low orbit high-pressure power system will also undergo further tests, through the power supply capacity of the upgrade, it is possible for us in space, taikonauts can eat hot meals

太空健身
2011年已随“天宫”上天，包括于太空锻炼的自行车和下体负压筒、各类服装鞋袜、睡袋、航天食品、诊疗箱等。

Space Fitness
2011 has been with the "Heavenly Palace", including the exercise bike at the Space and lower body negative pressure tube, all kinds of clothing and footwear, sleeping bags, space food, medical boxes.

神奇验证
3位航天员将实验“尿液循环器”能否真正“尿变水”。不过，这次的实验航天员不会喝下自己的尿，而是为未来真正实现这样的“神奇”做验证。

Magic verification
Three taikonauts will experiment "urine circulator" can really "change in urine water." However, this experiment taionauts will not drink their own urine, but for the future to realize this kind of "magic" to do validation.

活体蝴蝶
神舟九号此次还将首次携带活体蝴蝶升空。目前，珙桐、普陀鹅耳枥、望天树、大树杜鹃等4种濒危植物种子正搭乘“天宫一号”遨游在太空。


Live butterfly
SZ 9 will be the first to carry the launch live butterflies. Currently, dove, Putuo Carpinus, Shorea, azaleas and other four kinds of endangered tree seeds are aboard TG 1 travel in space.

Can you give some rough schematics of the rocket? Like cutaway pictures with big parts labeled? Anything like that exists? Wanna know what those grills are for.

Good achievement..be humble and share !

First day of work inside space lab capsule：

sina video

Some interior maintennace works have been done like changing a soft floor tile to harder tiles for working efficiency. also changing of operational commands and doing some scientific experiment in space

China's space station when completed composes of 5 different parts:

Space capsule

Laboratory 1

Laboratory 2

Control capsule

Cargo Craft

They can't do a damn thing without the support from NASA, and don't tell me that they are 100% self-reliant.

LOL they are the ones that provides the parts and vehicles to NASA in the first place!!! Don't you know? NASA is just a govt. agency.

A piece of the fallen-off fairing was landed in a no man's land in the rural area of Zhuxi, Shanxi province 山西 竹溪.

Wenchang Space Centre（WSC），Hainan Island：

Phase I（pink area）consists of 3 launch pads：101、102 and a reserve pad。

Phase II（yellow area）consists of 3 launch pads：201、202 and 203.

Painted orange is WSC‘s supporting area。

A kind of lattice fins used in missiles.

They are used to provide aerodynamic stabilization to the escaping crew module in the event of a mishap.

similar feature on russians manned soyuz LV

Yes, that's escape rocket. If the rocket flight fail in the atmosphere, space capsule will auto-separate from uncontrolled rocket, that top escape rocket will provide anti-gravity to protect the space capsule when landing on the ground from sky.

I dont think they are lattice fins

That is for the whole escape tower installation. Not for the grills

BBC News - Shenzhou-10: China launches next manned space mission

China has launched its latest Shenzhou manned space mission.

Three astronauts blasted away from the Jiuquan base in Inner Mongolia on a Long March 2F rocket at 17:38 Beijing time (09:38 GMT).

The commander, Nie Haisheng, and his crew, Zhang Xiaoguang and Wang Yaping, plan to spend just under two weeks at the orbiting Tiangong space lab.

Wang is China's second female astronaut and she will beam the country's first lesson from space to students on Earth.

The crew's capsule was ejected from the upper-stage of the rocket about nine minutes after lift-off.

It should take just over 40 hours to raise the craft's orbit to the operating altitude of Tiangong some 335km (208 miles) above the planet's surface.

This mission, the fifth manned mission by China and slated to be the longest, is designated Shenzhou-10. It is the latest step in China's plan to eventually put a permanently manned station above the Earth.

Tiangong-1 is the demonstrator. It was launched in 2011 to provide a target to test rendezvous and docking technologies.

The Shenzhou-9 crew - which included China's first female astronaut, Liu Yang - hooked up with the module for nearly 10 days in June 2012.

Nie's team aims to stay a few days longer, and like the crew of Shenzhou-9 will practise both manual and automatic dockings during the mission.

Beijing hopes to launch its fully-fledged station at the turn of the decade.

It is expected to have a mass of about 60 tonnes and comprise a number of interlocking modules.

Like the International Space Station (ISS), it will have long-duration residents and be supplied by robotic freighters.

Misson sucessfull..congratulations to the crew
