China plans to conduct radiation experiments on plant seeds, microorganisms and small animals.
The experiment was deployed using Mentian's dedicated payload airlock and attached to an external payload adapter using the space station's small robotic arm.Chinese astronauts prepare to install a biological radiation-exposure experiment on the exterior of the Tiangong space station in June 2023.
The experiment payload contains 13 sample box units loaded with biomaterials. These are designed to study the impact of cosmic radiation andon organisms, the origin and evolution of life and the development of space radiation mutagenic resources. The equipment can be used for in-orbit experiments on biological samples, including plant seeds, microorganisms and small animals, according to NSSC. The temperature inside each sample container unit can be adjusted to suit the organisms it is hosting.
On-orbit medical research involving space radiation biological exposure is of great significance to supporting China's human spaceflight program. That program is ambitious, with plans to launch long-term crewed missions in Earth orbit and send people to the surface of
