Thousands explore mechanics at CAS public science event

Sports enthusiasts tested mechanics principles through arrow trajectory exercises and pedal-powered generators, while engineers demonstrated AI-integrated exoskeletons and underwater robotics.

Historic sites drew strong interest, with 2,143 visitors touring the preserved offices of pioneering scientists Qian Xuesen and Guo Yonghuai. Operational laboratories were also opened to the public, including the 145-meter hydrogen-oxygen detonation tunnel and the 83-meter microgravity drop tower — both critical facilities supporting China's deep-space exploration efforts.
