Chinese astronaut center carried its first controlled ecological life insurance integrated test
December of 2012, source: China news network
Beijing China news agency, 01 dec (SunZiFa ZhuXiaoXiong) Chinese astronaut scientific research training center announced 1, Beijing time in the afternoon and, China's first controlled ecological life insurance integrated test tested crew Tang YongKang and Mi Tao, in airtight test hold for 30 days of science after test well out of the tank, test success. This is China's first real controlled ecological life insurance system integration research.
Experts say the experiment results of show that China's independent development of the controlled ecological life insurance system integrated experimental platform, marks China's astronaut center in controlled ecological life insurance technology research field has been into systematic and integrated stage, to promote China's long-term manned space flight ring control birth insurance technology development is of great significance.
Carry out long time, long distance and crew member's manned deep space detection and extraterrestrial planet settled and development, will be the future space technology development inevitable direction, and to create a controlled ecological life insurance system is to solve the life support question basic way. Controlled ecological life insurance system is also called biological regenerative birth insurance system, mainly through the higher plant and micro algae crew for food production, oxygen and water, and remove carbon dioxide from the crew and gas; Through breeding animals for crew to provide animal protein; Through the microbial decomposition, will be in the system of waste into reusable substances, so as to realize the material in the system completely closed cycle. Compared with other birth insurance system, the system the biggest characteristic is to material closed degree is high, can realize in the system of food, oxygen and water the basic raw material of all regeneration, which can significantly reduce the ground logistics supply for crew provides a fresh green environment, and adjust their psychological state.
Chinese astronaut center this test based on the center of the construction of the independent controlled ecological life insurance system integrated experimental platform, is for the purpose of key research closed system between human and plant oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and other material dynamic balance regulation and control mechanism, and master in situ supply crew fresh food method. This test, the plant culture a total area of 36 square meters, including lettuce, leaf lettuce, purple back TianKui, bitter Daisy 4 kinds of edible vegetables, which are mainly used to two tested crew provide breathing with oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide absorption crew, in the test process of each occupant every meal can also be hand picking and eating fresh vegetables 30-50 grams.
The test also penetration to undertake airtight ecological system of plant physiology, occupant biological rhythm and dicating, Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation, and psychology and ergonomics, food nutrition, environment medical monitoring and evaluation, medical insurance and medical monitor station hygiene system verification, etc scientific test, and cooperation with Germany launched the airtight environment crew core body temperature biological rhythm research.
Chinese astronaut, deputy director of the center DengYiBing said, this test, the center for the first time in "person? Plant" atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange dynamic balance control technology, microbial wastewater comprehensive treatment and recycling and so on many key technologies, the atmosphere, water and food closure reached 100%, 85% and 15% respectively.
Chinese astronaut center controlled ecological life insurance system integrated experimental platform built in 2011, with oxygen emergency added, carbon dioxide emergency removal, atmospheric trace harmful gas purification, sleep security, health care, medical security, security, and other functions, hold the atmospheric environment, illumination and nutrition condition parameters such as the realization of automatic control, ensure tested crew member's basic safe, healthy and comfortable.
