Shenzhou spaceship is a kind of spaceship developed by China itself, which has completely independent intellectual property rights and is up to or superior to the third generation international manned spaceship technology. Shenzhou spacecraft is composed of three modules and one section, that is, return module, orbital module, propulsion module and additional section, which is composed of 13 subsystems.

Spacecraft structure

Orbital module
The spacecraft structure is divided into four parts: orbital module, return module, propulsion module and additional section. The orbital module of Shenzhou spacecraft is a cylinder with a total length of 2.8m and a maximum diameter of 2.27m. One end is connected with the return module and the other end is connected with the space docking mechanism. The orbital module is known as the "multi-function hall" because several astronauts are in the orbital module at all times except for launching and entering the return module when returning. The orbital cabin integrates many functions such as working, eating, sleeping and cleaning.
In order to provide power for the orbital module in the stage of independent flight, solar panel wings are installed on both sides of the orbital module. Each solar wing has an area of 2.0 × 3.4m excluding the triangle. When the orbital module flies freely, it can provide more than 0.5KW of power. There are four groups of small propulsion engines at the rear of the orbital module, four in each group, which provide the auxiliary thrust for the spacecraft and the ability to maintain the orbital motion after the orbital module is separated; there is a circular hatch near the return cabin on one side of the orbital module, which provides the passage for the astronauts to enter and exit the orbital module. However, the maximum diameter of the hatch is only 65cm, only the people with smart body and special training can Free access. On top of the hatch there is an observation window for the orbital module.
Orbital module is the place where astronauts work and live after the spacecraft enters orbit. In addition to the living devices such as food, drinking water and urinal collector, there are also instruments and equipment for space application and scientific test. After the return capsule returns, the orbital module is equivalent to a ground observation satellite or space laboratory, which will remain in orbit for about half a year. One of the major characteristics of Chinese spacecraft is the use of orbital module. After the separation of orbital module and return module of Russian and American spacecraft, they are generally abandoned.
As an astronaut's "space bedroom", the environment of the orbital cabin is very comfortable, and the temperature in the cabin is generally between 17 and 25 ?.

Re-entry module
The return capsule, also known as the cockpit, is 2.00m long and 2.40M in diameter (excluding the thermal layer). It's the astronaut's "cab.". It is a cabin for astronauts to travel to and from space. It is a closed structure with a hatch at the front.
The return capsule of Shenzhou spaceship is bell shaped, with doors connected to the orbital module. The command and control center of the return capsule spacecraft is equipped with seats for three astronauts to recline in order to take them off, up and back. Under the front of the seat is the instrument panel, manual control handle, optical sight, etc., which shows the status of various systems and equipment on the spacecraft. The astronauts monitor through these instruments and control the work of the system equipment on the spacecraft when necessary. Both the orbital cabin and the return cabin are closed sections, which are equipped with environmental control and life support system, to ensure that the cabin is filled with a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen under atmospheric pressure, and to adjust the temperature and humidity to the appropriate range of human body, so as to ensure the life safety of astronauts in the whole flight mission process. In addition, two main parachutes and two standby parachutes for landing are installed in the cabin. There are two circular windows on the side wall of the return capsule of Shenzhou spacecraft. One is used for the astronaut to observe the scene outside the window, and the other is used for the astronaut to operate the optical sight to observe the ground driving spacecraft. The base of the return cabin is a metal frame layer sealing structure, on which the instruments and equipment of the return cabin are installed. The base is light and very strong. When the return cabin returns to the ground and enters the atmosphere, the return cabin is protected from burning by the hot atmosphere.

Propulsion module
Propulsion cabin is also called instrument cabin or equipment cabin. The propulsion cabin is 3.05M long, 2.50M in diameter and 2.80M in bottom diameter. Install propulsion system, power supply, track brake, and provide oxygen and water for astronauts.
It is cylindrical in shape. It is internally loaded with propulsion system engines and propellants. It provides power for spacecraft to adjust attitude and orbit, brake and decelerate, and some equipment of power supply, environmental control and communication systems. There is a pair of solar wings on both sides, excluding the triangular part. The area of the solar wings is 2.0 × 7.5m. Combined with the battery wings of the front orbital module, the power generated will be three times that of the Soyuz, with an average power of more than 1.5KW, which is almost equal to the power provided by the new wave car of Fukang ax. In addition to the large power provided by these battery wings, they can also rotate around the connection point, so that no matter how the spacecraft moves, it can always maintain the best direction to obtain the maximum power, and avoid a large number of maneuvers required by "turning to the sun", so as to ensure that the solar battery array is oriented to the sun while the spacecraft is continuously observing the earth.
The rear of the equipment compartment is the propulsion system of the spacecraft. The main propulsion system consists of four large main engines, which are centered at the bottom of the propulsion module. Four pairs of small thrusters for attitude correction are arranged around the side skirt of the propulsion cabin. They are said to be smaller than the main thruster and larger than other auxiliary thrusters. In addition, there is a small auxiliary propeller outside the side skirt of the propulsion cabin.

Additional segment
The additional segment, also known as the transition segment, is used to prepare for rendezvous and docking with another spacecraft or space station in the future. Before manned flight and rendezvous and docking, he can also install various instruments for space exploration.
There is no official introduction to the equipment at this stage of the additional section, but some insiders have made bold conjectures, such as: one of the half ring type devices is supposed to be used to install the square instrument device. Three 0.4-meter probes, which are perpendicular to each other and can be extended, are presumed to be part of the navigation system or docking system. Because Apollo spacecraft in the United States had similar devices for docking. The front end of Shenzhou spacecraft orbital module may be equipped with a Russian docking system. But these devices may only be a test type, and will definitely be replaced by new docking systems when carrying out docking missions with the space station in the future.
