On April 29th, the China Space Station’s Tianhe Core Module was launched into the space and accurately entered the scheduled orbit. With the two wings of the solar windsurfing panels unfolding smoothly and working normally, the launch mission was a complete success. The more than 30,000 pieces of special glass on the solar panels are all from QHXJ Special Glass Technology Group. The high-strength, radiation-resistant glass cover sheet developed and produced by the company once again puts on a protective armor for the space station, and travels in space with "Heavenly Harmony".
The China Space Station is a manned space station independently constructed and operated by China. It consists of three compartments: Tianhe Core Module, Wentian Experimental Module, and Mengtian Experimental Module. The Tianhe core module is the management and control center of the space station, and is the first space station section to be launched into orbit.
The anti-irradiation glass cover sheet used on the solar panel of the "Tianhe" core module was developed by QHXJ in three years. Each piece of this high-strength glass cover sheet is 0.12 mm thick, which looks only the thickness of ordinary paper, but the formula and process are quite complicated. The physical properties such as bending strength and flexibility are greatly improved, and the product strength reaches 500 Above megapascals, the strength is about 5 times that of ordinary glass cover sheets. On the one hand, solar cells are protected from harmful ions in space, and on the other hand, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells is ensured to ensure the normal and stable operation of spacecraft.
