Mirror platform for science experiments on China’s space station now operational

The National Space Science Center in China has launched the scientific experiment mirror platform for the China Space Station, facilitating essential research.

The platform includes 14 experiment cabinets and supports payload testing, astronaut training, and troubleshooting.

On October 30, the Shenzhou 19 crew arrived at the Tiangong Space Station for a six-month mission focused on space science experiments, including testing bricks made from simulated lunar soil, which could help in future lunar habitat construction, the Global Times has reported.
