& ltbr/>;
199565438+1October 26th, when China's "Long March II E" launched the Asia-Pacific II satellite, the resonance frequency of the satellite happened to be the same as that of the rocket fairing, because the shear wind at high altitude acted on the rocket, which caused * * * vibration and led to the explosion of the star and arrow. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
1995101On October 23rd, the American caravan rocket exploded 45 seconds after it was ignited at the launch base of Volops Island of NASA, and its 14 scientific experimental instrument was destroyed. & ltbr/>;

& ltbr/>;
In the process of developing manned space flight, international cooperation has extended from the blue planet to the vast space. On July 1975, the American Apollo spacecraft docked with the former Soviet Union Soyuz spacecraft in Earth orbit and made the first international joint flight. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;

The development course of human space field
& ltbr/>;
With the development of space resources, a new high-tech space technology, also known as space technology, was born. It is a comprehensive project to explore, develop and utilize outer space and celestial bodies, and it is also a highly integrated modern science and technology. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
In 1950s, it experienced the concept and feasibility demonstration of artificial earth satellite, and the exploratory test stage of the development, test and launch of satellite, its launch vehicle and ground supporting facilities. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
In the 1960s, it was a preliminary application experiment to use various special instruments and equipment on the launched spacecraft for remote sensing, information transmission and collection of various detection data. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
Since the 1970s, extensive application experiments have been carried out by using the space environment and its high altitude position, which have broken through many technical keys in the field of space application, expanded the scope of application, and formed satellite systems such as communication, navigation, meteorology, resources, science, military application and deep space exploration. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
At the same time, manned space flight with complex technology and long development cycle has also experienced the development stage of initial exploratory experiments for more than 30 years since the 1960s. During this period, by sending people into the sky to explore the possibility and adaptability of people entering space, understand the basic technology of manned space flight, study and solve the on-orbit technologies such as rendezvous and docking, extravehicular activities, indoor environment and control, develop and launch the experimental space station and its corresponding transportation system, so as to study the feasibility of people directly intervening or participating in the man-machine integration system for space development experiments. & ltbr/>;

Six days later, he returned to the ground on the Russian Federation TM-3 1 spacecraft. & ltbr/>;

Three major problems in manned space flight
& ltbr/>;
Simulation flight chart of the newly developed X-43A hypersonic space shuttle in the United States. During the test, the flight speed of X-43A will change with the change of temperature and altitude, which is usually 7 to 10 times of the speed of sound. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
Manned space flight is a highly difficult systematic project that integrates national political, military and scientific and technological forces. To really send people into space, or even let people live in space for a long time, we must break through three technical problems. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
The first problem is to develop an aircraft with sufficient thrust and excellent reliability. The launch vehicles used by the former Soviet Union to launch manned spacecraft such as Dongfang, Ascension and Soyuz are all excellent vehicles with a carrying capacity of more than 5 tons, and there are few accidents during the launch. In order to ensure a foolproof launch, the key components of launch vehicles and spacecraft must be double-backed or triple-backed. Before launch, rockets and spacecraft must go through a series of extremely strict ground tests and simulated flights until there are no hidden dangers. According to records, the Soviet Union/Russia launched manned spacecraft nearly 100 times, and astronauts used the escape tower life-saving equipment only 1 time when the launch vehicle had problems. Of the nearly 100 flights of the American space shuttle, only Challenger exploded in a catastrophic accident. No wonder some experts say that due to the emphasis on reliability, the safety record of spacecraft activities is actually the best compared with navigation, aviation and land transportation. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
The second problem is to get enough information about the influence of space environment on human body, understand the limit conditions that human body can bear and find protective measures. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
The space environment is very different from the land environment. There is a high vacuum in space, and there is no oxygen or water. Without any protection, the human body will explode in less than a minute due to the huge pressure difference inside and outside the body, and the body fluid will boil and vaporize quickly. There is a great temperature difference in space. Because there is no air convection, the morning temperature of the spacecraft can reach above 100℃, while the shadow temperature will be below-100℃. In the deep air far away from the earth, the temperature will reach -273℃ which the human body can't stand at all. Space is also full of harmful cosmic radiation. In addition, the weightless environment in space, especially the acceleration and deceleration in the ascending and returning stages of spacecraft, will cause diseases such as balance dysfunction, tissue displacement in the body, muscle atrophy and decalcification of bones. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
In order to ensure people's survival in this environment, it is necessary to develop a sealed anti-radiation spacecraft equipped with basic life support conditions such as air, water and temperature for people to live normally. At the same time, astronauts should be equipped with spacesuits. Once astronauts want to get out of the cockpit and work in space, all life support systems will be provided by spacesuits. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
In the practice of manned space flight for nearly 40 years, the Soviet Union/Russia successively developed three generations of manned spacecraft, namely, Dongfang, Ascension and Soyuz, and the United States also successfully used three generations of manned spacecraft, namely Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, as well as the space shuttle. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
International space station roaming in space
& ltbr/>;
The third problem is reliable life-saving technology and safe return technology. The biggest difference between manned space flight and unmanned space flight lies in the application of life-saving technology and the absolute reliability of safe return. & ltbr/>;
& ltbr/>;
Life-saving devices for manned spaceflight include ejection seats, escape towers, separation cockpit and manned mobile devices. They play their respective roles at different flying heights. & ltbr/>;
