The student from Beihang University was among the first group of four volunteers,to spend 60 days in“Yuegong1” or Lunar(月球的)Palace,a simulated(模拟的) “space cabin”in Beijing.The Lunar Palace is meant to increase China’s knowledge and technical skills while helping the country’s scientists understand what humans need to live on the moon.Liu Hui and three volunteers,from Beihang University,entered the cabin on May 10.On Sunday,they were replaced by a second group,also two men and two women,who will stay there for 200 days.After that,the first group will return for another 105 days.Yuegong365, the experiment, is Beihang’s second attempt to see how the Life Support System,in which animals,plants and microorganisms(微生物)coexist,works in a lunar environment.Water and food can be recycled within the system,creating an earthlike environment.A successful 105-day trial was conducted in 2014.

Liu Hong,chief designer of “Yuegong1”said the purpose of the new program is to test the stability of the BLSS when “astronauts” take turns living in the cabin,facing unexpected events.“The BLSS system was the sole (唯一的)lifesaver we relied on.Each‘astronaut’ occupied a cubicle (小卧室)about three square meters in area,similar to a capsule hotel,”according to Liu.Each cubicle holds a small bed and a folding chair.There is a locker on the wall and a desk nearby.Liu said that data on everything the volunteers did in the cabin was monitored and stored during their time in the cabin,including the food and water they consumed,work and leisure time,physiological indexes(生理指标)in the mornings and in the evenings,and even their mood swings.Liu Zhiheng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said:“The BLSS is absolutely crucial to explore the moon and the Mars.The latest test is vital to the future of China’s moon and Mars missions (使命) and must be relied upon to guarantee the safety and health of our astronauts.”To get enough protein,the volunteers raised yellow meal worms,which are suitable to be eaten.

In addition to daily scientific work,the volunteers found ways to entertain themselves.“We loved playing chess,”Liu said.“Throwing darts was also a great way to release stress and liven up the atmosphere.”One of Liu’s favorite activities was to ride spinning bikes.“I worked out in the plant cabin filled with fresh air,” Liu said. “The activity not only helped me relax,but also produced carbon dioxide needed for the Greenhouse Effect.”The volunteers did have mobile phones,computers and the Internet.“We kept in touch with our family members with messaging applications.“Yuegong1”consists of a main living space and two greenhouses for plants.The living structure covers 42 square meters,the size of a small urban apartment,while each of the greenhouses is 3.5 meters high and 50 to 60 square meters in area.The system allows four volunteers to conduct research while their basic needs are met.
