    At 15:37 on October 31, the Long March 5B Yaosi carrier rocket carrying the Mengtian experimental module of the space station was ignited and launched on time at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in my country. Eight minutes later, the Mengtian experimental module and the rocket were successfully separated and entered accurately. The orbit was predetermined, and the launch mission was a complete success. In the construction of China's space station, Chinalco has bravely undertaken the mission of the national aerospace aluminum "pioneer", and a large number of "Chinalco-made" high-precision aluminum materials once again shine in space.

    It is understood that the Mengtian experimental module is the third module of the Chinese space station and the second scientific experiment module. It is composed of a working module, a load module, a cargo airlock module and a resource module. The take-off weight is about 23 tons. Space science and application experiments, participate in the management of the space station assembly, the cargo airlock can support the automatic entry and exit of cargo, and provide support for scientific experiments inside and outside the cabin. In the future, the Mengtian experimental module will rendezvous and dock with the Tianhe core module and complete the transposition, and the Chinese space station will form a three-module "T" basic configuration.

    In this launch mission, Chinalco Southwest Aluminum provided key aluminum alloy materials covering more than 10 specifications and varieties covering forgings, plates, profiles, pipes, etc. , mainly used in key parts such as the surface structure of the experimental cabin and the transition ring, transition frame, and storage tank of the launch vehicle. Among them, key aluminum alloy materials such as super-large sheets for the skin of the rocket propulsion cabin and the experimental cabin, and a certain type of structural connection forging ring have the characteristics of high metallurgical quality, high-performance technical indicators, many varieties and specifications, and large component sizes.
