1.TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH HELPS WITH SAFE RETURN OF SHENZHOU-12

神舟十二号归家几道难，多重科技保驾护航

TheShenzhou-12’s return had four phases—speed reduction, free-gliding, re-enteringthe Earth’s atmosphere, and deploying the parachute【降落伞】 before landing. Here’s Wang Yin with more details.

神舟十二号返回过程分为四个阶段，即制动减速、自由滑行、再入大气层、开伞着陆。

Ofcourse, Chen Xuan...When a spacecraft leaves orbit and re-enters the atmosphereit temporarily loses communication with mission control. An expert said a newpredictive control plan greatly enhanced the safety of the astronauts duringthis black-out period.

当载人飞船脱离轨道、穿越大气层时，通信暂时中断，地面和航天员完全失联。一旦出现问题，只能靠航天员和飞船自主处置。专家表示，这次返回任务首次采用"预测制导"方案，大幅提升了穿越大气层"黑障"阶段的安全性和可控性。

孙军，北京航天飞行控制中心副主任

We used a new self-adaptive method that allowed the spacecraft to identify its surroundings during the black-out period when returning to Earth. The predictive control ensured the accuracy of the landing location and guaranteed the crew’s safety. It is a major technological breakthrough in controlling the spacecraft’s return to Earth.

采用了新的自适应方案，能够在飞船返回在“黑障”过程中辨识空间环境对它的影响，能够实时制定出新的升力控制的策略。应该说通过预测制导的方案，一个是保证人员着陆的精度，另外保证了整个的安全性。应该说是我们返回控制方面的一个重大的技术突破。

There turn capsule【太空舱】 landed at the Dongfeng site for the first time rather than Siziwang Banner, both inInner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The Dongfeng site is about 20,000 square kilometers, 10 times larger than Siziwang Banner, creating a need for better communication.

神舟十二号载人飞船返回舱着陆场从内蒙古四子王旗调整到东风着陆场，最终成功着陆。这也是东风着陆场首次执行载人飞船搜索回收任务。东风着陆场的搜救范围可达2万平方公里，比四子王旗着陆场大了10倍，其搜索、导航、通信能力得到保障。

The communication distance between vehicles, and between vehicles and base stations increased from 20 to 50 kilometers to ensure the smooth operation of ground communication.

车与车之间、车与基站之间通信距离由（原来的）20公里增加至50公里，确保了地面通信的畅通。

During their 90-day space stay, the crew carried out two spacewalks, as well as a series of experiments. They tested key technologies for the construction【建设】 and operation【操作】 of the space station, long-term stays for astronauts, and in-orbit maintenance【维护】. They also set a new record for the longest space stay by Chinese astronauts.

神舟十二号航天员乘组在空间站组合体工作生活了90天，圆满完成了两次出舱任务及一系列航天医学领域的实验项目，对核心舱组合体的各种设备进行日常管理、调试，定期监测、维持和评估自身健康状态，并执行天和核心舱在轨测试。“太空出差三人组”刷新了中国航天员单次飞行任务太空驻留时间的纪录。

2.TOURISM FESTIVAL OPENS WITH FORCUS ON CLASSIC ARCHITECTURES
