Tianjin, September 19 /Xinhua/ — China has made progress in preparing for a manned lunar landing by 2030: the development of a lunar spacesuit and an experiment involving bed rest for prolonged space stay continue to advance. This was reported on Saturday by the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
The development of the Chinese spacesuit for lunar landing “Wangyu,” which means “gaze into the Universe,” is progressing successfully, with dozens of key technologies already implemented, expert Zhang Wanxing of the center stated at the aerospace medical engineering conference in the centrally-administered city of Tianjin /Northern China/.
As he reported, since the beginning of development in 2020, efforts to create the “Vanyu” have been focused on meeting the demands of complex operations on the surface of the Moon and overcoming extreme environmental conditions. The expert noted that the lunar spacesuit is designed to be lightweight, compact, highly efficient, and safe.
In addition to developing the spacesuit, China is also advancing research in astronaut health and has completed the ‘Disin-3’ bed rest experiment, aimed at addressing physiological protection challenges during long-term spaceflight and manned lunar landing missions.
In this regard, the expert from the Qu Lin Center explained that the experiment began in May of this year. Volunteers were divided into different groups and spent 15 or 30 days in bed. During the experiment, they performed daily activities lying in bed, such as eating, washing, sleeping, urinating, and defecating.
The results showed that the experiment effectively provides protection for the human skeletal, muscular, and cardiovascular systems and will offer technical support for long-term space stays and the execution of manned missions to land on the Moon. –0–
