Nov.2 (China IP News) -- On October 19, equipped of the Shenzhou11 spacecraft manned with two astronauts, Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, successfully realized the automatic rendezvous and docking with the Heavenly Palace II space laboratory. This is the first time for the Heavenly Palace II carry out the rendezvous and docking with spacecraft since its launching into orbit on September 15. For more than half a century, China's space industry has made remarkable achievements. Innovation boosted the Chinese aerospace dream into reality.
After the Shenzhou11 spacecraft successfully entered the scheduled orbit, the solar panels on the spacecraft slowly spread, boosting the spacecraft in the sky. At this time, the command hall of Beijing Space Flight Control Center burst into applause, which means that the Shenzhou11 spacecraft began its 33 days' exploration journey in space. "The solar panels to provide energy for Shenzhou11 spacecraft are all independent products through China's independent research and development. With all independent intellectual property rights, related materials and technology are expected to expand to civilian areas." Zhou Chunlin , vise chief engineer of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, told reporters that all materials from the battery to the entire windsurfing board and its manufacturing substrate materials realized the full control of their own with independent intellectual property rights.
The docking of Shenzhou11 spacecraft and Heavenly Palace II is not only to show the world the latest development of China's space industry, more importantly, a series of upcoming pilot missions, will probably promote space application services become more extensive to the public, according to Zhou Chunlin, China's Beidou satellite navigation system, with independent intellectual property rights, has been used in the smart phones, tablet PCs, smart wear equipment, car navigation and other mass applications.
According to incomplete statistics, in recent years in China, among over 1,000 kinds of new materials, 80% of them are developed and completed under the traction of space technology, and more than 2,000 space technology achievements have been transplanted to the various sectors of the national economy. In satellite communications, navigation and positioning, weather forecasting, disaster prevention, distance education, aerospace technology is serving people's work and life. The direct benefit of manned spaceflight project, the benefit and radiation benefit and the reflected industrial chain have reached the scale of tens of billion yuan.
"The Apollo program in the United States directly spawned and bolstered a large number of high-tech industrial groups in liquid-fueled rockets, microwave radars, radio-guided, synthetic materials, computers, wireless communications, etc. Later, over 4000 patents achieved by this program were transformed into civilian use and then boosted the glory of science and technology and industry in US. China is also facing the same opportunities. " experts from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said that, with the advancement of military and civilian integration, China's industry and commerce application of aerospace technology, will also enter a new era.
