Shenzhou eight new LED lighting equipment for the public to see the intersection process

17 reporters from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Fifth Research Institute 51 0 Research Institute learned that the Institute has undertaken the Shenzhou eight, Tiangong-1 87 sets of stand-alone development tasks, including a new high power LED lighting equipment outside the cabin, meet the rendezvous and docking of the lighting requirements, the irradiation distance is 150 meters.

The manned space mechanical and electronic technology research department chief engineer She Shigang introduced the environmental test conditions of Shenzhou eight, Shenzhou seven Tiangong-1 equipment is greatly improved, the environment temperature from -15 to 50 DEG C to -35 to 70 DEG C, environmental testing time also increases exponentially, so the quality grade the equipment used in the components and raw materials have higher requirements.

New lighting, but also to allow people to clearly see the Shenzhou eight and Tiangong-1 rendezvous docking process. She said.

In addition to the new LED lighting equipment, in order to display the Shenzhou eight, Tiangong-1 instrument equipment more data information, but also increased the requirements of graphic display. Shenzhou eight, Tiangong-1 are using a color LCD display, replacing the use of the Shenzhou seven monochrome LCD screen. She said that this is the first application of instrumentation equipment.

Article 51 as the first batch of 0 Research Institute of Chinese directly engaged in the research of spacecraft units, since the beginning of 2005, undertook the research task of the Shenzhou eight, Tiangong-1, completed the structural thermal control ship, electric boat, identification, the kind of equipment development, production work and other equipment.
