China Daily introduces some news about HarmonyOS.

On June 2, the Chinese telecom giant launched(发行) HarmonyOS for smart phones.

HarmonyOS is an open— source operating system for phones and other devices.As China’s first self-developed operating system, it was made for Huawei’s wearable devices in August 2019.

The recent launch for smart phones is part of the company’s effort to improve its software products. China Daily said the move is a big step for Huawei, which has been preparing to switch from Google’s Android for a long time.

“Harmony’s development for smart phones will surely be a serious rival(对手) to Google’s Android or Apple’s iOS,” Bradly Blankenship wrote for CGTN.

Wang Chenglu, president of software department at Huawei’s consumer business group, said the goal was to have 300 million devices running HarmonyOS in 2021.

“Now, we have hundreds of millions of Huawei mobile phone users. If they upgrade their smart phone systems to HarmonyOS and feel that the experience is good, they will stay with our products,” Wang told China Daily.

HarmonyOS is designed for the Internet of Things(IoT,物联网) era. It can connect all kinds of IoT devices. It is convenient to develop apps based on HarmnonyOS, said Yin Dong, a Bejing-based sofware developer.

“Unlike Android, which is firstly designed only for smart phones, HarmonyOS is for IoT devices including watches, TVs, cars and even ovens, which enables them to easily connect with each other and deliver new functions,” Yin said.

Shenzhou XIII taikonauts’ (航天员的) six-month stay at the Tiangong space station is wrapping up. Now they face one last test of their scientific and space travel skills — returning home safely. Before they come back to Earth in mid-April, what needs to be done before leaving the space station?

If you are coming home after a long journey, you have to pack up. For astronauts in space, they need to “pack” both experimental (实验的) information and samples (样品) and their personal belongings, so they can be further researched on the Earth.

The astronauts have to tidy up many objects, including goods on the Tianzhou 3 cargo (货物) spacecraft, according to Zhong Weiwei, a researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.

Since the space station has no room service, no one helps the three astronauts to “clean the house”. They need to collect a great amount of waste. This includes leftover food, sanitary (卫生) waste and waste from in-orbit experiments. The waste is then put into the orbital module (轨道舱), and the orbital module burns up as it re-enters Earth’s atmosphere.

They must put all equipment (设备) in place correctly since there will be a gap of more than one month before the astronauts of Shenzhou XIV enter the space station, according to Zhong. The three members need to make sure some items, such as gym equipment, are fixed to the walls to keep them from floating.

Astronauts experience microgravity (微重力) for long periods of time during their stays on the space station, which has an effect on their bodies. This includes a loss of fluid (体液), muscle atrophy (萎缩). What’s more, they lose bone.

To make sure of their safe return, the three taikonauts have been doing physical exercise to train their muscles for the return to the Earth. Based on their in-orbit physical examinations, experts have customized (定制) exercise plans for each of them to have a safe landing, Zhong told China Daily.
