TWGHs Lui Yun Choy Memorial College F.2 Integrated Science Name: _______________ Class no.: ________ Group no: _______ Science and Society Worksheet 2.1 Chinas Manned Space Programme Background: The manned space programme (載人航天工程), in which a crew was selected to undergo space training, began when China first launched its satellite in 1970. China has launched four unmanned spaceships (無人太空船) into the space since November 1999, paving the way to the manned space mission. The Shenzhou V is launching into the space. China, the third country sending a person into the space after the United States and Russia, successfully launched the first manned spaceship Shenzhou V (「神州五號」) on 15 October 2003. Aim: There are three stages in Chinas manned space programme (「三步走載人航天工程」), as follows: ˙ First stage: To enable manned space missions and to improve on the related technology ˙ Second stage: To enable the joining together of spacecrafts in space and to allow astronauts to walk in space ˙ Third stage: To build a large-scale, long-term manned space station The Shenzhou V successfully sent the first astronaut of China, Yang Liwei (楊利偉), into space, and fulfilled the aims of the first stage of the manned space programme. Officers from The Beijing Aerospace Command and The flight has come to a success and the Control Centre (北京航天指揮控制中心) are busy first astronaut of China, Yang Liwei, monitoring the spaceship launch. walked out from the spacecraft. Questions: 1. What is the shape of the heat dissipation material (散熱物料) on the surface of the spacecraft? Why does it arrange in this pattern? (Hint: What is the main function of the heat dissipation material? Which factors can affect its efficiency?) _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 2.
