Based on the "humanized" design concept, China space station has set up living area and working area respectively. There are independent sleeping area, health area, exercise area, space kitchen and dining area in the living area. Privacy and convenience are considered to the greatest extent in the design, which greatly improves the quality of life of astronauts in space. According to experts, the core module can provide more than 50 cubic meters of space for astronauts. With the space provided by visiting manned spaceships and cargo spaceships, the total space is now close to 150 cubic meters, equivalent to a nearly 10 fold increase. If the original astronauts live in a standard room, now the astronauts live in a villa.

What about going to the bathroom?

Ying Peng, chief designer of the space station system of the manned space project of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and technology group, said: "the main function of the pillar section of the core module of the space station is to provide astronauts with daily life. We also provide more situational lighting, such as a more suitable lighting environment during sleep, so that astronauts can have a better rest. For example, the toilet facilities have also been upgraded and innovated. " Although astronauts can't enjoy the same shower and bath as on earth, everyone can wipe themselves clean in a "package shower" with a spray gun, which solves the problem of personal hygiene to the greatest extent.
