（一）Its not the first time for Liu Boming， a Chinese astronaut or taikonaut to performa spacewalk. Yet he was still impressed by the extraordinary scenery of the universe and acclaimed wow, its so beautiful outside!His voice of amazement was transmitted to the ground and heard by the world thanks to two sets of antennas crafted by the National University of Defense Technology(NUDT)in central Chinas Changsha City. The engineers in the university have been developing space antennas for more than a decade.When Liu perform his first spacewalk in 2005 during the Shenzhou-7 mission the NUDT antennas were already there to ensure data flows.And this time, the antennas got an important upgrade. Make the words heard.The new type of antennas project was launched as early as2014 with an aim of securing a higher data rate for voice and image transmission. To make sure the taikonauts can hear each other and the headquarters clearly the antennas must perform well without being physically stretched out from the spacesuit. The engineers decided to build a soft, wearable antenna with cloth. They overcame the difficulties of making the cloth more conductive, merging the antennas with the spacesuit and integration of the antennas into the insulation. The antennas can deliver a 98 percent signal coverage no matter how the taikonauts move or rotate.Let the eyes see In addition to voice communication, the helmet of the spacesuit is equipped with front-facing cameras to act as additional eyes for the taikonauts.The visual transmission must be wireless because the taikonaut can move far from the gate outside the space station.Another type of distributed video antennas solved the dilemma oetween antenna size and sign a coverage and achieved 100 percent signal coverage during the spacewalk on July 4.The video antennas were also perfectly hidden, like the voice ones, so cannot be seen from the outside. We created these antennas with the teamwork spirit, Chai Shunlian, a member of the engineer
