The Space Environment Ground Simulation Device in China, also known as the "ground space station," is a significant achievement in the country's aerospace field. This ground-based facility, located in Harbin, simulates various space conditions, including microgravity and environments like the lunar surface. It consists of multiple chambers that replicate different space environments, providing a cost-effective and safe way to conduct experiments that would typically require going to space. The project, developed over 18 years, aims to support aerospace research, enhance material interaction technologies, and advance China's aerospace capabilities.
