The reporter learned from the China Manned Space Engineering Office that at 12:44 on September 30, after about an hour of coordination between the sky and the earth, the Wentian experimental module completed its relocation.
During the transposition, the Wentian experimental cabin first completes the relevant state settings, and then separates from the Tianhe core cabin. After that, the plane transposition method is used to complete the transposition, and then docks with the lateral port of the node cabin.
This is the first time in my country that the indexing mechanism is used to implement the indexing operation of large-scale cabin sections on orbit. After the transposition of the Wentian experimental module is completed, the space station assembly will change from a two-cabin “one” configuration to a two-cabin “L” configuration.
In the follow-up, the space station assembly will fly in orbit in an “L” configuration. After the Mengtian experimental module is launched, rendezvous and docked, it will also be transposed to form a three-cabin “T” configuration assembly of the space station.
