Recently, the ownership of a new generation of "Feitian" extravehicular spacesuit independently developed by China, which was used by China astronauts for the first time on the China Space Station, has caused controversy between Hunan University and Xiangtan University.

At 9: 22 am on June 17, the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft was launched. On July 4th, the astronauts of China Space Station carried out the first extravehicular activity, and the extravehicular spacesuit worn by the astronauts attracted wide attention. Both Hunan University and Xiangtan University have published articles on extravehicular spacesuits to show relevant design results.

On June 17th, Xiangtan University published an article on its official WeChat WeChat official account entitled "The successful launch of Shenzhou XII, many Hunan University designs will provide" intimate service "for astronauts", saying that the outer clothing of the space station’s flying cabin, the health zone subsystem of the core cabin and the space medical experimental cabinet, which were completed by Xiangtan University, will appear in space and provide "intimate service" for astronauts’ work and life.

According to the above article, since 2013, the industrial design team of Xiangtan University, under the leadership of Professor Ma Qiucheng, has undertaken the industrial design task of the space station series manned space equipment. Among them, Mr. Luo Jianping presided over the completion of the industrial design project of the outer clothing of the space station’s flying cabin. During the implementation, teachers such as Yao Xiang, Fu Yanxiang, Hui Gao, Zhou Ning and Ouyang Shuangping, members of Xiangtan University’s industrial design team, actively cooperated with the project leaders and worked hard.

The article also revealed that, based on the work done by the industrial design team of Xiangtan University for manned spaceflight, in September 2018, the China Astronaut Research and Training Center signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Xiangtan University, and the two sides carried out comprehensive cooperation in scientific research, personnel training and discipline construction.

On July 4th, Hunan University also published an article "Pride!" on the official WeChat WeChat official account. Huda Design, Successfully Exited, said that the industrial design task of the new generation of "Feitian" extravehicular spacesuit worn by astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo was undertaken by the intelligent equipment research team led by Luo Jianping, an assistant professor at the School of Design and Art of Hunan University. According to the article, "the design team presided over the appearance design of the extravehicular service and the design of the interactive system of human service. And participated in the whole process of completing the development and testing of space suits! "

CCTV’s "Interview in Focus" program that night also mentioned that the intelligent equipment research team led by Luo Jianping, a teacher from the School of Design and Art of Hunan University, successfully participated in the design of two astronauts’ extravehicular suits after several rounds of competition, and the thin stripes on the astronauts’ arms were their creativity.

According to The Paper’s previous report, Ma Qiucheng, a professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering of Xiangtan University, once sent a WeChat circle of friends saying that the college leaders arranged for him to lead the industrial design team to win the project in 2012; In 2013, he led the team to start bidding for "Feitian extravehicular service of space station", and appointed Luo Jianping as the project leader after winning the bid. In 2020, Luo Jianping went to work in Hunan University.

Ma Qiucheng said: "It is undeniable that Luo Jianping made an important contribution in the implementation of the industrial design project for extravehicular service. After working in Hunan University in 2020, propaganda units and individuals can be understood, but they must follow their own path on the premise of respecting the facts, but they cannot block others’ paths. This is the basic principle of being a man."

Ma Qiucheng also revealed that Luo Jianping had contacted him before the CCTV "Focus Interview" program was broadcast; During the communication, he asked the relevant publicity to respect the objective facts and make the origin of the project clear, but Luo didn’t make it clear in the program and it developed into the present situation.

On July 9th, Luo Jianping, assistant professor of the School of Design and Art of Hunan University, responded: "The industrial design project of extravehicular spacesuit was signed by an aerospace department and Xiangtan University in 2014, and I am the technical director of the project. I was a lecturer at Xiangtan University, and I thanked Xiangtan University for its support. In January 2016, the project was completed and entered the implementation stage. I revised and adjusted the project plan. In July 2016, I resigned from Xiangtan University and went to Tsinghua University to study for a doctorate. I am grateful to the aerospace department and Tsinghua University for supporting me to continue the research and improvement of this project. "

"In 2020, after graduating from Dr. Tsinghua University, I entered the School of Design and Art of Hunan University, and with the support of the school, I formed a team to continue to complete the implementation and improvement of the above projects, and jointly established the Joint Design Center for Aerospace Products with the aerospace department to carry out a number of product design and research related to spacesuits. In an interview with the media, I took the initiative to explain the support unit and informed the relevant team members of the media interview outline and interview video in time. " Luo Jianping said, "I am in awe of the space dream. In the future, my team and I will continue to carry forward the aerospace spirit, not afraid of hardships and make new contributions! "
