University outfits Shenzhou astronauts
Print Edition
Spacesuits and cabin shoes used for the space journey of the three astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-12 were designed by Donghua University, which has one of its campuses in Songjiang District鈥檚 University Town.
China on June 17 successfully launched its first crewed mission for the construction of the space station Tiangong. Its three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, are expected to spend three months in its space station core module Tianhe.
The astronaut-costume research and development team from Donghua University designed all the clothing for the astronauts, including working, exercising, leisure and zero-gravity protection spacesuits and ordinary and training uniforms on earth.
During the send-off ceremony on June 16, the three astronauts, wearing ordinary uniforms designed by the Songjiang university, appeared at the Wentiange square of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
鈥淪pacesuits for Chinese astronauts should prioritize their functionality, then their good appearance. Our team, by integrating unique Chinese elements into the costumes鈥 fabrics, color patterns and details, aimed to build a good image for Chinese astronauts,鈥 said Li Jun, chief of the Donghua University astronaut-costume R&D team, and dean of the university鈥檚 College of Fashion and Design.
The university鈥檚 contribution to China鈥檚 aerospace exploration dates back to the 1980s. In 2016, spacesuits designed by the university were used in China鈥檚 Shenzhou-11 manned space mission.
