Tiangong Activities
CMSA published their weekly video on the activities of the three taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station. This week, Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Lai Ka-Ying used the Mengtian module's cargo airlock to expose a series of experiments to the vacuum of space, as well as swapping out refrigerated experimental samples inside the station. They performed maintenance on the life support system, replacing old components. They also continued research into the effects of weightlessness on the human body, including mass perception tests, emergency decision-making assessments, exercise research, and regular medical checks, and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival aboard the station. The video did not feature any mooncakes; perhaps they are saving those for the lunar surface. [Source: CMSA]
