As a bearing supplier in areoplane industry, ZYS compeleted it’s mission in the safe landing of Shenzhou-13

At 09:56 on April 16, 2022, Beijing time, three Chinese astronauts, the second team sent to orbit for space station construction, have completed their six-month mission and returned to Earth safely. The return capsule of the Shenzhou-13 manned spaceship, carrying astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Luoyang Bearing Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ZYS), as an important bearing supplier in China’s aerospace field, has also made positive contributions to the Chinese astronauts once again set the record of single stay in space.

During astronauts’ stay in the space station, the supply of materials is essential, and the environmental control and life protection technology must move from non-regeneration to regeneration. ZYS has undertaken the task of developing corrosion-resistant bearings for the environmental control and life support system of Tianhe’s core cabin. After 7 years of unremitting efforts, successfully replacing several bearing material schemes, more than ten bearing structure schemes, and hundreds of test simulations, ZYS made breakthroughs in the development and testing of corrosion-resistant bearings, and finally met the overall requirements of the space station, realized long-term reliable operation in extremely acidic oxidizing solutions, and provided the long-term stable operation of the renewable environmental control and life support system of Tianhe core cabin. Important technical support provides an important guarantee for the life, health and safety of astronauts.

The complete success of the Shenzhou 13 manned flight mission marks the successful completion of the key technology verification phase of the space station, and the Chinese space station is about to enter the construction phase. As a national first-class comprehensive research institute in bearing industry, in the face of various tasks and challenges, ZYS will never forget its original intention, keep its mission in mind,and continue to move forward in the journey of chasing dreams and flying, in order to achieve China’s Dreams and aerospace dreams make new contributions and create brilliance again!
