Thanks to the efforts by scientists and engineers from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), a research system, which was called prototype of vacuum subsystem of space plasma environment simulation, was completed on science island, Hefei, Anhui province.
After conducting several rounds of design verification and overcoming a series of technical difficulties in the development process, the system was finally ready after the process review and mid-term inspection.
This system is an essential part of Space Environment Simulation Research Infrastructure (SESRI) built by Harbin Institute of technology, whose primary task is to develop a vacuum tank for a near space plasma environment simulation system.
This project started in August 2019, a microwave anechoic chamber and antenna arrays with attitude control function have been installed in the vacuum tank for plasma experimental research.
The project focuses on major and basic scientific and technological issues in the aerospace field, and it will build an international-leading platform for space comprehensive environment simulation.
SESRI is jointly constructed by Harbin Institute of technology and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, which is a major scientific engineering project of National Major Science and Technology Infrastructure in the field of aerospace.
The success of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC) in the global space arena during the past four decades is rich testimony to the success of China's reform and opening-up policy since late 1978.
Scientists have produced a 3D printing machine, the first of its kind in China, which astronauts will be able to use while on space missions, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASTC) on Monday. The machine is capable of printing optical ...
