[my country's Extravehicular Spacesuit Technology Reaches International Advanced Level; Lunar Landing Suit Overcomes Dozens of Key Technologies] Reporters learned at the first Aerospace Medicine Engineering Conference held in Tianjin on the 19th that my country's overall extravehicular spacesuit technology is currently at an internationally advanced level. The development of the Wangyu lunar landing suit is progressing smoothly, with dozens of key technologies already overcome. According to Zhang Wanxin of the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, since the space station mission, my country's extravehicular spacesuit technology capabilities have significantly improved. A complete space-ground collaborative verification and on-orbit application system for space station extravehicular spacesuits has been established, achieving breakthroughs in key technologies such as "high-efficiency human suit support, long-life, high-reliability extravehicular suit protection and life support, complex space environment information transmission and high-reliability real-time information architecture, and integrated space-ground extravehicular suit health assessment." This has enabled astronauts to set a world record of 9 hours for a single extravehicular activity and achieve 20 extravehicular activities in orbit over 4 years with a single extravehicular suit. "Since its development began in 2020, focusing on the needs of complex lunar activities and the challenges of extreme environments, the Wangyu lunar suit aims for lightweight design, miniaturization, high efficiency, and high safety and reliability. It has overcome dozens of key technological challenges, and the development work is progressing smoothly," said Zhang Wanxin. (Xinhua)
