👀 The China Space Station will be expanded, but instead of duplicating the three current modules: Tianhe-1, Wentian and Mengtian, a multi-functional module with 6 docking ports will be added, an exhibition at the National Museum of China shows.

How are work going on at #ChinaSpaceStation? A latest episode of #TiangongTVseries shows the crew have recently installed the high-temperature material experimental cabinet. What’s it used for?
Multiple external sources showed that a 2nd EVA spacewalk was conducted by Shenzhou 15 astronauts in Tiangong Space Station (CSS) at the end of Feb, yet no video, picture, or even announcement was ever revealed by CNSA CMS this time. Arguably a new era of openness & transparency.

"Recently, with the cooperation of ground scientific research personnel and astronauts, the experimental system in the combustion science cabinet of the Mengtian cabin successfully performed the first on-orbit ignition test, which verified the completeness of the functions of the combustion science experiment system of the space station and the accuracy and consistency of the overall experimental process. It is scientific and lays a good foundation for the smooth implementation of follow-up projects.”
