In addition to the importance of itself in sciences and applications, microgravity fluid physics closely relates to microgravity combustion, space biotechnology and space materials science, and promotes the developments of interdisciplinary fields. Many space microgravity experiments have been performed on board the recoverable satellites and space ships of China and pushed the rapid development of microgravity sciences in China. In the present paper, space experimental studies and the main results of the microgravity fluid science in China in the last 10 years or so are introduced briefly.展开更多

The payload specialists at CAShad arranged a series of applied research experiments assigned to the orbiting space vehicle,predominantly involving the earth-observing microwave remote sensing, the comprehensive inspectionof the space environment, space bio-technology and fluid physical tests under micro-gravityconditions. At present, the orbiting equipment for carrying out these experiments operates normally.By February 10, 2003, the space vehicle collected relevant data up to 100.2 GB in informationvolume as the initial result from the space flight. There are 52 experimental devices or facilitiesonboard. They were developed by CAS affiliates, including the CAS Center for Space Science andApplied Research, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Changchun Institute of Optics, FineMechanics and Physics, Institute of Mechanics, and the No.510 Institute under the China AerospaceS&T Corp. The CAS General Establishment of Space Science and Application took charge of the systemintegration and tests, and the control and management of the orbiting experiments. The researchinstitutions participating in the development of the spaceship Shenzhou-4 applied system areShanghai Institute of Plant Physiology, Shanghai Institute of Bio-chemistry and Cell Biology,Institute of Microbiology and the State Micro-gravity Laboratory. In addition, the State OceanicAdministration, the CAS Shanghai Astronomic Observatory and others are assigned to land-basedaccessory tests and study on remote-sensing application.展开更多
