China's first 8K space film ‌SHENZHOU 13 premieres in Shanghai

Liu Xuechao, chief designer of the China space station's high-temperature material science experiment system, shared that the station is equipped with 14 advanced international experimental devices, including the container-less scientific experiment cabinet and high-temperature material science experiment cabinet developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "Astronauts have melted tungsten alloy at over 3,100 degrees Celsius — a world record — using these devices," he noted, emphasizing that such "space tools" could enable the production of high-tech materials previously seen only in sci-fi films, unattainable on Earth.

Co-hosted by the media group's Film, Drama and Documentary Programming Center and CMG Shanghai, the premiere featured a surprise video message from the Shenzhou-20 crew on the China space station. They extended their good wishes, stating that the film truthfully depicts astronauts' in-orbit work-life, records precious moments of the station's construction, and captures the unique romance of Chinese aerospace professionals filming in space.
