Reporters learned that in the launch mission, Yuefeng aluminum undertook the rocket and spacecraft aluminum alloy key material development task.

 

Tianzhou-6 mission is the first mission to be launched in the application and development phase of China's manned space station project, and also the first mission to be launched in 2023. Yuefeng Aluminum supplied more than 80 percent of the aluminum for the Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft.

 

Among them, a certain type of 5 series aluminum, 2.4 m wide oversized plate, 3 m diameter forged ring are exclusively provided by Yuefeng Aluminum, mainly used in cargo spacecraft metal outsole, ramp drive assembly, large column section shell and front and rear end frame.
