Place: Harbin, China

Event: As an important part of Research Center of Aerospace Mechanism and Control (RCAMC), the Aerospace Mechanism Testing (AMT) laboratory is founded on September 20, 2017. It is a new start. Our research focuses on the testing technologies for various aerospace mechanisms. A new domain “www.amthit.org” which is now being registered will replace the old one “www.rcamc502.org”. Furthermore, a new logo for AMT is designed jointly by Dr. Quan and Mr. Deen Bai. In the logo, “M” resembles a solar panel which is a typical space mechanism deployed on satellite. The logo can be used by all the current members of the AMT laboratory. The copyright of the following logo is owned by Aerospace Mechanism Testing (AMT) laboratory.

Event: Yawen Chen and Haimo Xiao visited RCAMC502. They are excellent graduates of Dr. Quan. Yawen Chen graduated from RCAMC502 in July 2015 and received her master of science degree from Imperial College in October 2016. She now is the core team member in XenoDynamics. Yawen Chen made a speech on learning and life experiences in England. Her speech is interesting and broadens our horizon. Haimo Xiao graduated from RCAMC502 in July 2016, and now he is a research engineer in Midea Corporate Research Center. Haimo Xiao gave us a speech on efficient working methods and habits based on his own learning and working experiences. His speech has an important reference value for us. To welcome Ms. Chen and Mr. Xiao’s visit, RCAMC502 held a dinner party at Lee’s Restaurant.
