The Shenzhou-18 crew aboard China's orbiting space station is making significant strides in their mission, following their second spacewalk earlier this month. During this spacewalk, the astronauts successfully replaced the experimental plugin filter in the space lab module's combustion cabinet, ensuring the station's vital systems operate smoothly.
In addition to equipment maintenance, the crew has been conducting emergency drills to simulate internal pressure loss, preparing them for potential in-space contingencies. These drills are crucial for maintaining the safety and integrity of the space station.
Looking ahead, the Shenzhou-18 team plans to carry out a series of experiments focused on boiling heat transfer and enhancement mechanisms. These studies aim to advance our understanding of heat dynamics in microgravity, which could have far-reaching implications for future space missions and terrestrial applications.
