  Scientists from China and the U.S. will work together on a space experiment on the international space station for the first time.

  CGTN’s Sean Callebs reports.

  Scientists from the Beijing Institute of Technology are putting the finishing touches on an experiment that will be conducted in the unforgiving environment of space.

  It’s work that will help determine whether humans can survive a prolonged journey in space-where astronauts are bombarded with ten times the radiation levels on earth.

  “Space radiation could cause harm to the astronauts, especially when they are in space for a long period of time. One of the biggest risks from space flight is gene mutation, we hope to do more research on this and learn how big the risk of gene mutation is for humans in space.”, Deng Yulin of the School of Life Science at BIT said.

  Potentially ground-breaking research but Professor Deng, and his team have already made history. Despite the fact, there is a strict U.S. law that prohibits NASA from doing work with China – this will be the first Chinese experiment ever flown on the International Space Station.

  “Every day you feel like, hey we might be making a huge discovery today that affects all of humanity”, said Colonel Jack D. Fisher a NASA flight engineer.

  The Chinese experiment will be carried to the ISS, on a Space-X rocket privately funded.

  It is all legal, and above board, because a private U.S. based company called NanoRacks is handling the payload and works closely with NASA and bills itself as a concierge to the stars.

  “We do pride ourselves on being a vehicle that educational entities can come to and go through the system in a less than intimidating fashion, we spend a lot of time making the process as easy and painless as possible for our customers.”, said Mary Murphy an international payloads managers at Nanorocks.

  The Beijing Institute of Technology has had its share of challenges. The project is the culmination of two years of work, and negotiations to make sure it’s done legally and within strict U.S. government guidelines.

  中美两国科学家将首次在国际空间站合作进行空间实验

  中国国际电视台,肖恩·卡莱布斯(Sean Callebs )报道

  来自北京理工大学的科学家正在为一项即将在太空恶劣条件下进行的实验做最后的准备。

  该实验将有助于科学家们确定人类是否可以在辐射水平是地球十倍的太空中生存较长一段时间。

  北京理工大学生命学院的邓玉林教授告诉我们,“太空辐射会损害宇航员身体,尤其当他们长时间处在太空中时。太空飞行最大的危险之一是可能产生基因突变,因此我们希望对此进行更多的研究,并了解在太空中人类基因突变风险的程度。”

  虽然还未完成具有潜在突破性的研究,邓玉林教授和他的团队已经创造了历史。尽管美国有法律明确规定禁止美国航空航天局同中国合作,但这次实验将是在国际空间站首次进行的中国实验。

  美国航空航天局飞行工程师杰克·费雪上校(Jack D. Fisher)说“每天我都感觉,噢今天我们将会有一项影响全人类的发现”。

  中国的这项实验将由私人资助的Space-X火箭运送到国际空间站开展。

  中国的实验是完全合法且公开的,因为一家名为NanoRacks的私人美国公司正在处理有效载荷相关事项,并与美国航空航天局密切合作。该公司称自己为“星星的看门人”。

  Nanorocks的国际有效载荷经理玛丽墨菲(Mary Murphy)说:“我们十分自豪,因为我们在教育实体交互过程中充当了一个不那么令人生畏的媒介,我们投入了大量时间以确保这一过程对我们的客户来说能尽可能的简便。”

  与此同时,北京理工大学也面临着挑战。该实验项目是两年研究工作的顶峰,同时北京理工大学也要进行多方谈判以确保该实验在法律上符合美国政府的严格规范。
