Shenzhou launch, attracting global attention
“10, 9, 8…1, ignite!” At 20:59 Beijing time on April 25, 2024, global attention focused on the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, where China’s Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft was successfully launched! This is also the third manned flight mission since China’s manned space program entered the space station application and development stage, the 32nd launch mission since the project was initiated, and the 518th flight of the Long March series carrier rockets.
A strong aerospace nation, chasing dreams in space
Breaking through the fog and clouds, defying the sky, in the divine land of the space powerhouse. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese nation has always dreamed of chasing the sky and reaching for the moon in the ninth heaven. Especially since the successful launch of the Shenzhou-1 spacecraft in 1999, China’s space projects have been filled with success: “Chang’e” lunar exploration, “Tianwen” Mars exploration, “Xihe” sun-chasing… It has witnessed China’s solid steps in accelerating the construction of a strong space nation. The development of aerospace technology has strongly driven the rapid advancement of high-tech fields such as automatic control, computers, electronic information, precision manufacturing, new materials, and new energy in China.
A grand event in a prosperous era, SCICOOLING joins in
The development of China’s aerospace technology also relies on support from various industries nationwide. It is well known that temperatures in space are extremely low, with the lowest temperature approaching -273.15°C. Low-temperature environments adversely affect the performance and operational reliability of aerospace products, so it is very necessary to conduct adaptability and reliability tests of aerospace equipment and materials on the ground in low-temperature environments.
Since its establishment in 2008, SCICOOLING has focused on the research, development, and manufacturing of environmental test chambers, with products now widely used in aerospace, aviation, and other fields. With outstanding product quality and professional service, SCICOOLING has maintained continuous cooperative relationships for 15 years with two leading central enterprise groups in China’s aerospace industry: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and multiple subsidiaries and research institutes under China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. It is also a partner of Chinese commercial space unicorns such as Galaxy Aerospace and Zero One Space. SCICOOLING’s equipment such as high and low temperature chambers, temperature and humidity test chambers, impact chambers, turntable/vibration isolation temperature chambers, altitude test chambers, combined environmental test chambers for temperature and humidity vibration, and walk-in environmental chambers have been purchased by customers over the long term and multiple times, receiving high praise and recognition.
