China welcomed three heroic astronauts home on April 16,2022. The re-entry capsule(返回舱) carrying astronauts touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This ended the Shenzhou XIII astronauts’ six-month space mission. This return marked a major breakthrough for China’s space program. 1. .
Speed
The mission set a new speed record. The Shenzhou Ⅻ return capsule revolved around the Earth 11 times over 24 hours. 2. The Shenzhou XIII mission was shortened to only five orbits and was designed to return more efficiently, according to China Academy of Space Technology. 3. It also needed more accurate orbital calculations. This meant that when the spacecraft separated, it could quickly target the landing area, calculate the return path, and adjust its altitude.
Temperature control
Another challenge for astronauts returning to Earth is traveling through the atmosphere. After the re-entry capsule enters the atmosphere, there is fierce friction(摩擦力) with the air. 4. To solve this problem,
the researchers designed a heat-resistant coating on the surface of the Shenzhou XIII return capsule. They also laid a layer of a special material that takes away the heat.
Landing
The re-entry capsule landed upright in the right area. Such a landing position is rare in China’s space flight history. 5. To achieve this, astronauts must operate and let go of the parachute (降落伞) with accurate timing. Landing upright is the ideal way to land, ensuring astronauts have the softest landing, Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher, told SciTechDaily.
A. We have made great efforts to land successfully for years.
B. Let’s look at some of the technical details of the mission.
C. Some strategies may help you better understand the mission.
D. This required more precise control of the spacecraft.
E. The surface temperature of the capsule can reach thousands of degrees.
F. Shenzhou XIII shortened the time to about 9 hours, orbiting Earth five times.
G. So far, only Shenzhou Ⅵ and Shenzhou XIII have achieved an upright landing.
