太空吃播上线,中国航天员在空间站烤鸡翅
China's Tiangong Space Station has welcomed a new addition---a specialized hot-air oven! Recently, astronauts
from the Shenzhou-21 and Shenzhou-20 missions successfully used this device for the first time in orbit, marking a
significant step forward in improving Chinese astronauts’ on-orbit dining experience. Now, they can savor delicious
baked food even hundreds of kilometers away from Earth.
Prior to this innovation, most space food was pre-cooked and ready-to-eat, with limited variety in taste and
texture. The new oven has enriched the on-orbit meal remarkably. Astronauts have already tried baking popular dishes
like “Orleans-style” chicken wings and black pepper beef steak. A video released by the space station showed them
carefully placing the chicken wings into the oven: after 28 minutes of precise heating, the aromatic and tender chicken
wings were ready, winning high praise from the crew.
However, baking in space poses unique challenges. Liu Weibo, an expert in space life support technology,
explained that the key difficulties lie in handling smoke and oil fumes, which could affect the space station's air
quality. The specially designed oven adopts advanced technologies to filter smoke and collect oil, ensuring the cabin
air remains clean. Additionally, it is engineered to be highly durable, capable of reliable operation for at least 500
times to meet long-term mission needs.
The new oven is part of China's continuous efforts to enhance astronauts' living conditions in space. Currently,
the space station offers over 190 types of food, with the menu updated every 10 days to provide diverse nutritional
options. Besides the oven, the "space garden" facility on board is also thriving---astronauts have successfully grown
fresh vegetables such as lettuce and cherry tomatoes, adding more fresh ingredients to their meals.
"When astronauts stay in a confined space for months, enjoying self-baked food not only satisfies their taste buds
but also brings immense psychological comfort," Liu Weibo noted. It turns out that a hearty and delicious meal is
always the best comfort, even in the vastness of space.

中国航天员在空间站烤鸡翅
中国天官空间站迎来了一位新成员台专用热风烤箱!近期，神舟二十一号与神舟二十号任务的航天员们
在轨道上首次成功使用了这一设备，这标志着中国航天员在轨饮食体验实现了显著提升。如今，即便身处
距地球数百公里的太空，他们也能品尝到美味的烘焙食品。
在此项创新之前，大多数太空食品均为预制即食型，口味与口感选择有限。这台新烤箱极大地丰富了
在轨菜单，航天员们已尝试烤制了奥尔良风味鸡翅、黑胡椒牛排等热门菜品。空间站发布的视频显示，他
们将鸡翅小心放入烤箱，经过28 分钟的精准加热，香气扑鼻、鲜嫩多汁的鸡翅便出炉了，赢得了全体乘
组的高度好评。
然而，在太空环境中烘焙面临着独特挑战。空间生命保障技术专家刘伟波解释，关键难点在于处理油
烟，这些油烟可能会影响空间站的空气质量。这台特制烤箱采用先进技术过滤烟雾、收集油脂，确保舱内
空气保持洁净。此外，其设计兼具高耐用性，可稳定运行至少500 次，以满足长期任务需求。
这台新烤箱是中国持续改善航天员太空生活条件的举措之一。目前，空间站已提供超过190 种食品，
菜单每10 天更新一次，为航天员供多样化的营养选择。除烤箱外，舱内的“太空菜园"设施也长势喜人--
航天员们成功种植了生菜、圣女果等新鲜蔬菜，为饮食增添了更多新鲜食材。
“当航天员在狭小空间内驻留数月时，享用亲手烤制的食物不仅能满足味蕾，还能带来极大的心理慰
藉。”刘伟波表示。事实证明，一丰盛美味的饭菜，即便在浩瀚太空，也永远是最好的慰藉。

【原创】神舟20 号乘组乘坐神舟21 号飞船安全返回地球
On Novembet 14, the Shenzhou-20 taikonaut crew--Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie--successfully
landed at the Dongfeng Landing Site aboard the Shenzhou-21 spaceship, marking a safe end to their 204-day orbital
mission. Their return, 1 (original) scheduled for Novembe 5, was delayed 2 nine days due
to a minor crack in Shenzhou-20’s porthole (舷窗) caused by space debris (片) impact.
This unprecedented (史无前例的) emergency triggered China's well-designed "one main and one backup" space
rescue plan. Instead of risking a return on the 3 (damage) spacectaft, the crew transferred to Shenzhou-21.
This marks the first time in China's manned space histoty that another operational spaceship 4 (carry) a
different taikonaut crew back to Earth. While 5 (wait) for the rescheduled return, the trio continued
scientifc experiments with the Shenzhou-21 crew, adding 6 (value) data to their research.
During their record-breaking orbital stay, the Shenzhou-20 team completed four extravehicular ( 舱外的)
activities, seven cargo transfer tasks, 7 a series of cutting-edge experiments in space life sciences and
materials science.
The smooth emergency return fully demonstrated the 8 (reliable) of China's manned space engineering

The Amazing Journey of China’s Mouse Astronauts
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a mouse in space? Recently, four special mice completed 1
extraordinary mission aboard China’s space station alongside the Shenzhou-XXI astronaut crew. Far from ordinary
lab mice, these little 2 (pioneer) were carefully selected through a series of fun but challenging tests.The
first stage assessed physical fitness, with the mice 3 (place) on a specially designed "exercise bike",
where they had to maintain their position 4 a set duration. The next challenge focused on motion
sickness 5 (resist). Using a two-dimensional rotating(旋转) device, researchers helped the mice adapt
to conditions 6 could cause space motion sickness. Ultimately, the four best-performing mice earned
their "boarding passes" to space.
Inside the space station, the mice lived in a specially designed home with
7
(comfort)
temperatures and cozy shelter nests. Cameras showed them actively climbing, eating space food, and
8 (curious) exploring their new environment—floating included!
These tiny astronauts are helping scientists understand how living in space

closer to answering big questions: Can humans live in space for a long time? How does zero gravity
change our bodies? After their space mission, the mice returned safely to Earth,

这台太空烤箱与地球上的烤箱不同。它采用360 度循环热风，确保食物受热均匀。为保持空间站
内空气洁净，它还配备了先进的烟雾过滤和集油系统，可稳定运行500 次以上，以满足长期任务需求。
这台烤箱是中国为改善航天员太空生活所做努力的一部分。目前空间站内已有超过190 种食物，
菜单每10 天更新一次；“太空菜园” 也长势良好，航天员成功种植了生菜、樱桃番茄等新鲜蔬菜，
为膳食增添了更多新鲜食材。
专家表示，亲手烤制的食物不仅能让航天员享受味觉乐趣，还能带来精神慰藉。在密闭空间中驻
留数月，这样的小确幸有助于他们保持良好状态。这台烤箱既体现了中国航天技术的进步，也彰显了
对航天员日常生活的关怀 —— 这无疑是地球送给浩瀚宇宙的一份温暖礼物。
