[@robinsteeden7466]

An interesting video and the technology on this station is impressive. But the fact that China doesn't care about strewing it's used rocket wreckage over foreign countries shows it's lack of respect for other nations.

[@evergreennj8950]

Is there a game titled "Cooperation of Nations"? Would like my kids and grand kids to play that if it exists. If not, I found that Chinese checkers helped them learn how to cooperate with each other to reach their goals. Team sports also help. I grew up in China in the 1970s and remember watching documentary films at the movie theaters on the US and Soviet space accomplishments. Kids like me were just wowed and dreamed of 1 day being able to explore space also. During the 40+ years that I've lived in the US, I've visited China twice. The 1st time about 16 years ago and the 2nd time was just a few months ago this year. When I witnessed the amount of improvement on the standard of living with the next level technology and infrastructure accessible to the general public it felt like a dream. It's the same dreamlike feeling as when I watched the American and Soviet rockets blasted off into space over 40 years ago. Back then, we felt no fear or animosity towards the Americans nor the Soviets, I just find it so strange that here in the US, there is so much negativity towards China because of the fear mongering and fake news from our media and politicians. I hope more Americans can travel to China to see what's it's really like there and see that people there live just as happily as Americans, many of them probably happier. Peace😉.

[@evergreennj8950]

You mentioned Taiwan towards the end of the video. Hope you will get to visit there and talk to different generations of people so that they can tell you in person their different versions of the history of what they officially call The Republic of China (ROC). ROC officially claims Mongolia in addition to all of the territorial land and waters that the People's Republic of China claims, which also includes the island of Taiwan as one of its provinces.

Pretty much all the Chinese space hardware is just modernized Soviet hardware they got their hands on in the 90's and 00's. I don't know why this was never brought up in the video. Tiangong shares arguably even more with MIR than the ISS. All it's modules are based on Soviet DOS and OPS space station modules. The tianhe core module is effectively just a copy of the Russian DOS-8 module for example, it's so similar in fact that it keeps the exact same shape and dimensions which only existed because the Soviets wouldn't have been able to fit the module inside the Proton rocket's fairing otherwise. Even the engines of the rocket that launched the modules, LM-5B, uses a copy of the Soviet RD-120 engine, the YF-100.

Except thats entirely wrong, but not your fault, the facts are never really mentioned. Check historical facts first. It was first and foremost a US space station, with added partners from the western world and Japan. Russia's involvement was post Soviet-collapse and a political move to stop the tech flowing to N.Korea, China (who barely had anything going at that stage, manned-wise) and Iran. The space stations first name was Freedom, then Alpha, to which the Russians objected, and ISS was the last name that everyone okayed on. China was never a partner and they only started going on the present program once they'd bought what they needed from Russia.

Mengtian module has its own airlock for supplement and equipment transportation. Xuntian Telescope will be planned Chinese space station telescope currently under development.

1:48 actually the ISS is indeed Mir 2.0. Did you know that the Russian segment modules (Zvezda in particular) were manufactured in 1985 as a component for the cancelled Mir-2 project. It was placed in storage in the Khrunichev factory until 1996, where it was refurbished and launched in 2000. Also the Shuttle-Mir program was considered the 1st phase in the ISS program.

[@arthurhamilton5222]

The U.S. segment is the old Space Station Freedom plans.

[@dramaticusflatudicus3839]

Not only that, Soviets had a policy of doubling production - two of everything - in case of failure. If no failures they make it the next development, which is never very much: the scientists (at the time) always thought the one they worked on would be the last and it would be cancelled, so there wasn't much point. So Mir didn't fail, its backup became Mir-2, then Zvezda, and FGB backup became Nauka MLM. (Soon to be) ISS was actually about 5% Space Station Freedom before they included the Russians (With Soyuz as lifeboats, landing in Australia) - the Integrated Truss structure was all Freedom in 92 before they changed names circa 93.

[@thomasafb]

perhaps some Russian modules can trace their lineage back to the ill-fated Mir-2 project, but most of ISS is much closer to Freedom. Sure, Mir-2 was supposed to have a truss section akin to that of ISS, but Russia never got there

[@dramaticusflatudicus3839]

@@thomasafb Actually, the truss is entirely Space Station Freedom - the design was developed 1991-1992 when they realised that the tinker-toy boom and the huge amount of EVA's required to build it were not going to happen. So ITS was already looking at fabrication by the time of ISS. Mir-2 had a type of truss, but most of its backbone was becoming the modules, as they found the same problems building in space as the US did (US tested deployment in 1986, Soviets had trusses erected on Salyut 7 and Mir, and everyone had trouble with them). Fair amount of paperwork available to see it all. So, yes, the ROS is all Mir-2 in pieces, and USOS is Space Station Freedom cut-down.

The ISS is a hybrid between the planned Soviet Mir-2 and the US Freedom space station. That is why there is a distinct "Russian Orbital Segment" and a distinct "United States Orbital Segment." Pressurized Mating Adapter 1 (PMA-1) connects the US Node-1 "Unity" module to the Russian "Zarya" module which was the core of Mir-2. Russian modules are attached to Zarya, while American, ESA, Italian, and Japanese modules are attached to the US Unity and Harmony nodes. The US nodes, along with the ESA, Italian, and Japanese nodes, were all intended for Space Station Freedom. The ISS shares the "Integrated Truss Structure" planned for Space Station Freedom. The ISS is a chimera of Mir-2 and Freedom. To suggest it is simply an evolution of Mir is technically and historically incorrect. Also, China's Tiangong space station's Tianhe module heavily leverages the Russian Zarya module design, and its Wentian module heavily leverages the Russian Zvezda module design. Also, China's Shenzhou spacecraft is effectively a scaled up Soyuz. Design-wise, Tiangong is just as much an evolution of Mir as the Russian Orbital Segment of the ISS. The cleaner interior of Tiangong is likely due to the fact it has not been continuously occupied for decades, like the ISS. Constant additions of experiments, equipment, etc. have caused more equipment to be attached, and more power and data cables to be extended. Photos from the early ISS expeditions show a much less cluttered interior.

[@blackknight4996]

Your so called information are pure misinformation.

[@jasony8480]

Thank you for you take on the station's design :)

[@dramaticusflatudicus3839]

Needs an edit: There were two development leads here: Zarya was an FGB block, originally planned for Mir, not Mir-2, and history put paid to its use; Zvezda was originally earmarked for Mir-2, and as such was built in the mid 1980s. FGB's were just modules never cores, just a development from TKS, from when it competed with the Soyuz design. There was some infighting on the Russian side which led to the FGB inclusion, otherwise it would have developed without it. Crucially, the extended modules of Tiangong and Tianzhou, are essentially the projects that Russia could not afford to build - the science modules are from Russias science & power module development and Tianzhou is the extended Progress path. Japanese module Kibo was the largest module on the ISS and when you see it after installation it looked incredibly spacious, as do all things when we first first move into them. Due to historical events, both SSF and Mir-2 looked in danger of never happening, but, mainly for political reasons, they ended up saving each other, whilst adding a bridging space station between the two: the Shuttle-Mir program, the importance of which cannot be overlooked.

No mention of the downlink speed? the tiangong has a downlink of downlink rate is 1.2 Gbps whilst the ISS has a downlink of 100 Mbps. It's not that bad but certain experiments on the ISS save the real data on storage devices and brought back to earth to not interupt the flow of data Also you probably have noticed if ever theres a life broadcast from the ISS the quality can be iffy

[@thomasafb]

your information seems somewhat outdated. the iss bandwidth was upgraded from 300 Mbps to 600 Mbps in 2019. additionally, i'd like to point out that it's a research facility and not a television studio, so video quality is not exactly a prime concern.

[@ex0duzz]

Having bandwidth and real time high quality video comms is good to have. Same as transferring any information at double the rate or more. It's like Bill Gates saying we only need 64K memory or whatever. Sure you can do things with 64K and even go to the moon with it but what you can do will ultimately be limited by your hardware limits. Same as you can do things with less power but you can obviously do even more with more power, and why they upgraded the bandwidth and the solar arrays and everything else they can. This is even more important when you can get more for less with newer tech and designs(ie more ability for less space/weight)

[@feignit]

That's why we invented compression, what experiments need 1.2Gb/s back to earth, clowns.

[@ex0duzz]

@@feignitclowns? Lol. More bandwidth is better, even if you never use it. One day you will. Compression is not ideal, and if you don't need it, it's better to not do compression since ultimately you will be giving up detail/quality and/or time due to your more limited bandwidth. You can also use compression with more bandwidth, there's literally zero downside. You can do twice as much in half the time. You could also do Morse code with 1kb to transfer information back doesn't change the fact that more bandwidth is better and will allow more data to be transfered which opens up possibilities that would otherwise be impossible. Like just say you saw a UFO, and now China can send highest quality video back to earth in real time while also maintaining live video conference calls with multiple people. So while you can only do one video call low quality, I could be transferring massive universe mapping data from xuntian space telescope(even if compressed, the universe is massive) and also high quality live streaming UFO and other members on board could also be doing live broadcasts and video calls with multiple sources, while another one is also having a break and watching high quality live stream if his favourite movies or talking to his family etc. Who knows. All you need to know is that more bandwidth is always better and you will find uses in the end. Even if it's not maxed out, it will still transfer faster. And that is always a good thing. Maybe you are one day in life and death situation and you need to transfer something quickly and also have high quality video stream the whole time. Maybe you have emergency medical issue and surgeon in earth needs live video feed and needs to operate remotely in the future. It's the same as saying we went to the moon with computer the size of a telephone booth and with processors less power than my calculator from 20 years ago. So why need more powerful or faster computer? Such flawed copium mentality. Lol. There's literally unlimited examples where faster is better. There's no situation where slower is better so i don't see what your even trying to argue about. Clowns. 🤣

The competition for space technology spurred by the USSR encouraged the US to develop and find a different route to space.

The story of the Chinese space station illustrates that technological blockade is only effective against countries that lack scientific research foundation. For big countries, technological blockade can only have a short-term effect, because in the long term, technological blockade will increase the country's motivation to upgrade technology in disguise. Their original backward technology has no advantage compared with foreign countries. If it can be purchased, they usually will not choose to develop it themselves (economically uneconomical). However, after the technology blockade, the cost of purchasing advanced technology exceeds that of their own research and development. which will stimulate their home markets to upgrade technology.

In fact, I would suggest the lack of visible works might be less about cleanliness immediately, and more about there being less experimentation ongoing which is needing space. That said, it is likely that the Chinese followed all the experiments that were being done on ISS, and could plan in advance to have necessary systems built in. Per its future, the expansion module is just about the only sensible choice to expand, as all the other ends of current modules appear blocked by design choice.

At 14.45 you say that the module generates 7kW. This feels wrong. I think this array is around 200 squares metres. The best panels in space will probably generate about 300W per square metre. That works out around 60kW. I am estimating some of this but cannot belive these panels only generate 7kW.

[@JoshKaufmanstuff]

Agreed. The upgrades to the ISS put it at 200KW theoretical.

[@arnerood690]

The 7kw number is probably a mistake and a guess to the "Hall electric propulsion" this station uses a ion engine to boost it's altitude

[@mrzoinky5999]

Did seem low.

[@alexricco7002]

Approximately 90kw

[@yellowcode2011]

Hi, below info is from an Chinese article. It says the area of the solar panel on Tianhe core module is 134 square metres with output greater than 18kW. Together with solar panels on Wentian and Mengtian expansion modules, the total output is expected to be more than 90 kW. This is roughly 80% of power output when compared to the ISS. The article also mentioned that the energy conversion efficiency of the solar panels is 30% compares to the 18% for the ISS. I dont know how accurate this is though, hope it makes sense.

[@philshifley4731]

Everything Jina has done has been done while standing on the shoulders of those that came before them and their program has benefited from all the lessons learned from the International experience. Not to take away anything from China, but they love to brag about about their superior engineering skills while showing up late to the party. The next space station created by the free world will propel space endeavors to the next level once again.

[@edvard5697]

Glad to see you adopt the aeronautical axiom "If it looks right it'll fly right". But the Chinese station doesn't look fundamentally different than the ISS. Just tanks hooked together with big flappy things for power. Hardly reinventing space stations. The real difference to the ISS is one government with a specific realpolitik plan and willing to fund that plan on a expedited time schedule. No collaboration/negotiations need so presto they are in orbit.

[@ddegn]

"No collaboration/negotiations" Correct. One reason the ISS took so long was the US waiting for Russia to send its modules. "Hardly reinventing space stations." I also don't why this new station would be considered reinventing space stations.

[@kingace6186]

The most challenging part of the International Space Station was that it was a joint venture between the US, Russia, Europe, Canada, and Japan with many more welcome (as long as they don't steal protected designs).

[@dramaticusflatudicus3839]

Probably a case that if politics and money were not such an object, we would not have the ISS, we would have Space Station Freedom, and, Mir-2, in orbit. Probably a bunch of others too. ISS is the result of a lot of political and financial wrangling, juggling, pushing and shoving, lol. Could have been worse, with Congress continually trying to kill it in the early years and Russia's lack of funds post-Cold War, we equally could have ended up with nothing out there.

I mean, this was inevitable. It was probably for the best that the Chinese got banned. Otherwise, would this have been built? Also, the whole world should be trying to improve on the design of the ISS. Imagine if we had been planning upgrades and putting just a little more money into the ISS. It could be massive, modern, and a collaboration of every developed nation, for science.

[@anonanon7235]

The Startrek Enterprise ship, is clean and tidy inside because they are advanced and are a tidy crew that attaches importance to neatness. For many American commenters (sourgrapes), a Chinese space module that is clean and unclutters is equated to "show", no experiments being done, "no high tech equipment", etc etc. No children, they're only showing you what they want you to see.
