In Space-Mengtian Lab Module/Astronauts
In space - Recent (China Manned Space Agency - No access Chinese mainland)
1. Various of Shenzhou-14 astronaut Cai Xuzhe unpacking packages
2. Various of Shenzhou-14 crew checking facilities, opening boxes and inspecting equipment
3. Shenzhou-14 crew installing and trying out microgravity resistance exercise device
4. Shenzhou-14 astronaut Liu Yang exercising with microgravity resistance exercise device
The Shenzhou-14 astronauts have completed several missions over the last two weeks, including the installation of equipment in the work area of the Mengtian lab module which they entered for the first time on Nov. 3. Among the scientific and basic living equipment, the astronauts have also set up a small home gym to help them stay fit.
The crew members- Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe can now keep fit in the lab with a special microgravity resistance exercise device similar to a rowing machine with which astronauts can do squats, heel lifts, hard pulls, rowing and shoulder exercise. Resistance exercise is especially important for astronauts living in zero gravity conditions which can rapidly reduce muscle mass and bone density.
On Sunday, the trio entered the Tianzhou-5 cargo craft to fetch supplies for the Tiangong space station.
They have been living in space for over six months since early June when the Shenzhou-14 spaceship successfully transported them to the space station, and they are expected to return in December after being replaced by a new crew.
Mengtian, the last "building block" that makes up Tiangong's T-shaped structure, is the module with the strongest load capacity among all the modules on the Chinese space station. It's equipped with 13 payload cabinets, eight of which are scientific experiment cabinets mainly for microgravity scientific research.
With the arrival of the Mengtian, astronauts and ground controllers can now better manage and control the space station's attitude and orbit, energy, information, and the comfort and functionality of its manned environment.
