Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! The diagram you posted for SZ-1 appears to show solar arrays on the orbital module, but not deployed. Did SZ-1 have functioning solar arrays on the orbital module?

Appreciate the slides, but it is more convenient to package them in one file, like the one attached here.

As far I know SZ-1 Orbital Module was more a mock-up rather than something fully functional (like the SZ-2 ones).

I found one tiny mistake in your presentation.
On slide 17 you state that Tiangong 1 (and Shenzou) use the APAS 89 docking system. But in fact it is the Chinese APAS system based on the APAS 89.
First I thought the chinese system was APAS 95, but after some googeling I discovered that that was the Space Shuttle version.

This site http://www.americaspace.org/?p=9268,  states that china is using an adapted version of the APAS 89 (Shuttle- MIR / Buran APAS).

And this NASA document http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20110010964_2011009594.pdf about ISS docking and berthing mechanisms, contains a graph on page 5 where all developed docking systems are represented (by there acronyms). On this graph the Chinese APAS system  is called Shenzou / APAS 2010.

So the uses docking system on Tiangong-1 and the Shenzou crafts are Chinese APAS ore APAS 2010 (flowing NASA).
