China-Space Samples
Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, north China - Nov 18, 2016
1. Various of sample handover in progress
2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Ji Gang, chief engineer with recovery and retrieval of China Xi'an Satellite Control Center (starting with shot 1)(with reporter asking question)(partially overlaid with shot 3):
"These samples were sealed at the landing site for our reentry capsule. These are samples of space material and these are samples of higher plants."
(Reporter:"What's the next plan?")
"Next we will hand them to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

6. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Lu Congmin, deputy chief designer of space application system(starting with shots 4-5):
"The return went smoothly. The transferral and storage of samples went well. Follow-up studies will begin after necessary treatment is complete."

7. Various of scientific researchers displaying space materials encased in stainless steel pipes for protection
8. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Pan Mingxiang, chief designer of Tiangong-2 space material experimentation (starting with shot 6):
"The samples are first encased in stainless steel pipes for protection. In the pipes, the samples are then protected by quartz tubes which people can see through. Our specialists will first check with the quartz tubes on. When they are sure about them, the tubes will be taken off for sample analyses."

10. Various of researcher opening boxes holding samples
11. Various of LEDs installed inside box
12. Various of plants growing inside box
Samples that are back from space along with the two Chinese astronauts on Friday have been handed over for follow-up studies at a space application center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Saturday.
The samples have traveled and undergone space experimentation in Tiangong-2 have returned with the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft.
"The return went smoothly. The transferral and storage of samples went well. Follow-up studies will begin after necessary treatment is complete," said Lu Congmin, deputy chief designer of space application system.
The samples include 12 space materials like metal single crystal and nano composite material. Some samples have been heat-treated in the space lab during its orbiting.
"The samples are first encased in stainless steel pipes for protection. In the pipes, the samples are then protected by quartz tubes which people can see through. Our specialists will first check with the quartz tubes on. When they are sure about them, the tubes will be taken off for sample analyses," said Pan Mingxiang, chief designer of Tiangong-2 space material experimentation.
Even much tenderer than these space materials are some advanced plants as samples. They are not only encased in black boxes and they are equipped with their private thermometers for temperature control. Seeds of thale cress, for one, have gone through second-generation seed growth in space. The experimentation is done to the satisfaction of scientists.
