    I love how China is building the space station by itself, it’s not bound by much restrictions, unlike the ISS, too many countries have to agree on one little proposal, basically making any progress or changes way too long to actually complete, NICELY DONE CHINA!!!

      RUclips probably won't allow it since you're not anti china. They will never let a neutral or pro china channel get big, they need to push the china bad narrative.

    I was wandering about the airlock, since cutting off the different sections from each other looked like a design flaw. This is the first time I heard Wentian would have an airlock of its own to be used as the main one.

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour  2 года назад +1

      Hey Nikola! Yeah it makes a lot of sense. A extra thought: it will make for better photos as well, as the airlock on Wentian will be facing the Earth (so the astronauts' backs generally won't be facing the sun).

      Pretty sure they can, it's a modular design after all. But if they will is another story. If they need to in future they will, but afaik they already have the plan from years ago and they are sticking to it for now at least.

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour  2 года назад +5

      The Chinese did have a backup Tianhe core module on the ground, in case the one in orbit failed or was not performing as planned. There have been no official statements on what this 2nd core module will become, but it is possible that they use it to extend the station.

    • @DongfangHour

      Hey Hana, a good place to look is the CSS Science and Experiments Handbook www.cmse.gov.cn/gfgg/201904/P020200225328481496691.pdf
      It's available only in Chinese though (but you can run it through a translation software)
      You also have the first wave of international experiments accepted on-board the CSS here: www.unoosa.org/documents/doc/psa/hsti/CSS_1stAO/1stAO_FinSelResults.pdf

    • @wyt168
      @wyt168 2 года назад

      If you mean whether they can add more modules hence increasing the physical size of the station--yes, they can, and there is an expansion plan to add another core module (possibly the backup module for Tianhe) and two additional lab modules, making it a 6-module space station.
