Advanced digital technologies, such as AR (augmented reality) VR (virtual reality), are being used in spacecraft design, development and manufacturing at the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), Beijing, China.
For example, about 90 percent of the cables on China’s new crewed spacecraft prototype were put in with the help of AR technology.
“In the past, it might have taken an engineer half a day to lay a cable, now we can do the job in half an hour,” explains Yi Wangmin, chief engineer, CASC.
