A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

Understand the relevant knowledge of the return capsule through exhibits and experience the return process of the return capsule through VR glasses and dynamic return capsule.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The return capsule, also known as the cockpit, is the "cockpit" of astronauts. It is a cabin segment used by astronauts to travel to and from space, with a closed structure and a hatch at the front end. After the separation of the return module and the propulsion module, the return module returns and the propulsion module burns down, while the orbital module is equivalent to an Earth observation satellite or space laboratory, which will continue to work in orbit for a period of time. When the return capsule returns, it will re-enter the atmosphere under the action of gravity. The ever-changing airflow will make it difficult for the high-speed return capsule to maintain a fixed posture. Therefore, it is necessary to make the return capsule in the shape of a wobbly object with a small bottom and large head, which is not afraid of the disturbance of airflow.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
