AI Technical Summary
The existing problems of wasted resources in cargo spacecraft and insufficient microgravity environment on space stations make it difficult to carry out scientific experiments that require both resources and microgravity.
The two cargo spacecraft were reconfigured in orbit to form a combined module. The module used connecting rods and magnetic torquers to achieve passive attitude stabilization under gravity gradient, establish a high microgravity environment, conduct scientific experiments, and achieve multiple rendezvous, docking and separation operations with the assistance of the space station's robotic arm.
It enabled efficient utilization of cargo spacecraft resources, provided a high microgravity environment, supported multiple scientific experiments, solved the problem of insufficient microgravity environment on the space station, and extended the duration of high microgravity environment maintenance.
