Going to Tianhe on a moonlit night with Shenzhou —— On-the-spot report of Shenzhou XIII flying.

Xinhua News Agency, Jiuquan, October 16th Title: Going to Tianhe on a moonlit night with Shenzhou —— Documentary of Shenzhou XIII Flying

In the early morning of October 16th, the manned space launch site of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was brightly lit under the irradiation of more than 1 spotlights. In the dark night beyond the lights, there is an endless vast land.

the sky is wider than the earth. In the autumn night, the Milky Way is brilliant, and the brightest group of "stars" is undoubtedly the China Space Station.

What is broader than the sky is people's minds and dreams. Today, three China astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, took the Shenzhou XIII to explore space again and started the longest manned flight in China so far.

This is a courageous exploration, and this is an expedition with dreams.

As the decisive battle and final battle in the key technology verification stage of China Space Station, and the key battle to link the past with the future in the on-orbit construction of the space station, Shenzhou XIII ushered in the era of long-term presence of Chinese space station. China's manned spaceflight has reached another milestone, and the Chinese nation has a new coordinate point in the vast universe.

love for stars, love for the moon and love for space

assembly, testing, transshipment and inspection ... The work of the launch site goes on and on, like a marching movement, advancing layer by layer and constantly inspiring. Finally, this large symphony has entered the most exciting section: the launch is about to begin and the journey is just around the corner.

On the evening of 15th, Wen Tiange, three astronauts went out here.

what do you want to ask about heaven?

More than 9 years ago, it was also such a clear autumn night. A China poet asked for wine and wanted to go home by the wind. There should be a beautiful building on the horizon.

Today, Chinese sons and daughters, full of romance and rationality, will begin to fly beyond their dreams again and go to the real "Heavenly Palace" built by themselves. There, it is the accumulation of wisdom and sweat of generations of astronauts, and it is a heavenly palace that makes China astronauts and hundreds of millions of people extremely practical and glorious.

"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, we have been ordered to carry out the manned mission of Shenzhou XIII. Please give us instructions when we are ready!" Dressed in a white space suit, Zhai Zhigang saluted the report.

This is the second time that Zhai Zhigang has led a team out as the commander of the Flying Ride Group. In 28, he completed China's first spacewalk. His footprints are printed on the vast cosmic starry sky and the spiritual starry sky of the Chinese nation.

That "spacewalk" took 19 minutes and 35 seconds, and then Zhai Zhigang took a long 13 years to climb the sky. During these 13 years, he served as a backup astronaut for the Shenzhou-1 and Shenzhou-12 missions. Training day after day and being selected again and again, what supported him along the way?

He only answered two words: "Love!"

without love, there is no support to deliver the tempering of youth and even life. That is the love of flying, the love of career, and the love of the motherland's space industry. Under the rigorous, meticulous, calm and calm package, this love is extremely hot.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud ..." The familiar song is played. From Shenzhou 5 to Shenzhou XIII, every expedition of astronauts is accompanied by this background music. There are immature children's voices in the song, and a group of children from the central and western regions-no matter how high the mountain is, it can't stop the wings of dreams. This "dialogue between youth and starry sky" is bound to have far-reaching repercussions.

Children's eyes are more focused on Wang Yaping, a female astronaut. In 213, this beautiful "female space teacher" gave an extraordinary space class to more than 6 million students across the country, and planted scientific seeds in the hearts of many teenagers.

In this expedition, Wang Yaping will once again "touch his dreams with children's eyes". "As long as you dare to dream, dare to pursue dreams, and build your own dream spaceship with wisdom and sweat, you will be able to usher in the launch moment of your dreams and fly to the vast starry sky that belongs to you!" Before flying, Wang Yaping said to the children.

For astronaut Ye Guangfu, who went to space for the first time, space is a call of dreams and a severe challenge. The six-month on-orbit flight and the complex and arduous experiment and test tasks put forward extremely high requirements for astronauts' physical and mental quality, knowledge and skills, and emergency handling ability. The challenges faced by astronauts are unprecedented. To this end, they have experienced more than 2 trainings in 8 categories.

The heart is in nine days, and the road is at your feet. To realize your dream, you must always struggle step by step. Perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand the sweat and tears.

"learn from the astronauts! Pay tribute to the astronauts! " In the audience area, people from all corners of the country waved their five-star red flags and shouted rhythmically. Ethnic minorities dressed in costumes danced happily.

At this time, everyone's eyes are shining with stars, from the elderly to the immature children. Every star may be a surprise in the future.

There is light, dreams and heroes

On October 15th, 23, in front of the Pavilion of Heaven, the song "Singing the Motherland" sounded, and Zhai Zhigang and Yang Liwei embraced each other tightly, seeing off their comrades-in-arms for their first exploration in space.

eighteen years later, on the same day, in the same place and with the same song, two space heroes appeared at the expedition ceremony again. This time, it was Yang Liwei who saw Zhai Zhigang off.

History often uses coincidence to witness achievements.

in the past 18 years, from one person a day to many people for many days, from in-cabin experiments to spacewalks, from short-term stay to long-term stay ... China's manned spaceflight project has successively broken through and mastered key technologies such as round-trip between heaven and earth, extravehicular departure, rendezvous and docking, and steadily advanced into the space station stage.

Three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, started a six-month mission. This is the sixth mission of the key technology verification stage of the space station, and it is also the final battle. When this astronaut composed of a "post-6s" and two "post-8s" returns smoothly, China's manned spaceflight project will enter the construction stage of the space station.

Liu Feng, who was a front-line worker then, has a deep memory of Yang Liwei's expedition: it was the first time that the Long March II F rocket carried out a manned launch mission. When the elevator door of the astronauts slowly opened, Yang Liwei came out with a small box in his hand, with calm eyes and firm steps.

When his eyes touched, Liu Feng's heart trembled and his eyes were wet. What kind of belief can make a person go to unknown risks without hesitation?

Manned spaceflight project is a high-risk undertaking, but there is never a shortage of heroes. Not only the first exploration of space in those years, but also the rendezvous and docking, extravehicular activities, crossing the black barrier ... < P > The six-month long-term space stay has put forward more stringent requirements for the physical and mental health of the space station, spacecraft and astronauts. Astronauts' physical and mental health will be negatively affected for a long time, and the weightlessness effect of musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system will be more prominent, and problems such as sleep disorder, fatigue, infection, gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular dysfunction may occur, and the probability of emergency medical problems will also increase.

when the shenzhou XIII spacecraft was successfully launched, another rocket had been erected in place, and another spacecraft was ready to respond to extreme situations.

actually, the danger is not limited to space. In addition to the astronauts who entered space, the scientific research participants in every process and post are ordinary heroes.

The development of China's extravehicular spacesuit with completely independent intellectual property rights also has dangers unknown to ordinary people. Before the extravehicular spacesuit is delivered, it needs to be worn by volunteers and tested in a low-pressure cabin to check its performance indicators in a near-vacuum simulated outer space state.

Even if there is a slight mistake, the lives of volunteers will be seriously threatened. However, every time volunteers are recruited among researchers, some people take the initiative to sign up.

In order to carry out astronaut survival training on the ground, teachers need to set up various harsh environments in forests and Gobi, take the road that no one has ever taken, and explore the risks that others have not explored.

There is also the inspection, transportation and filling of highly toxic and volatile special fuels. In case of deflagration and leakage, the participants may pay their lives.

if there is no future career in your heart, there will be no prosperity and flowers. Every milestone in China's manned spaceflight project is a step by step step by every astronaut with dreams and beliefs.

In order to adhere to the ideals and beliefs of generations of astronauts, Shenzhou XIII entered Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center by crew. Besides special training and experiments, activities such as raising the national flag and visiting Dongfeng Martyrs Cemetery were also written into the work manual. In the Dongfeng Martyrs Cemetery, there are more than 7 heroic ancestors who have devoted themselves loyally and heroically to China's space industry.

In order to inherit the spirit of manned space flight, Shenzhou XIII mission has planned a series of popular science and public welfare activities, and Wang Yaping will once again become "Teacher Wang", and will also combine the opportunities of traditional festivals to promote our traditional culture.

Liu Feng, who saw Yang Liwei's debut, appeared in the crowd to see off the new "space trio". Now Liu Feng has grown into a rocket deputy chief engineer. He said that belief and courage have never been lost over the years.

when the shenzhou XIII spacecraft took off in the night, the hour hand had already pointed to the early morning of October 16th.

On October 16th, 57 years ago, a huge mushroom cloud rose in the sky on the Gobi Desert, and China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully.

selfless, no regrets, endless

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, light the fire!" At : 23, under the command of Commander Zero, the Long March II F-13 rocket rose from the ground and went straight into the sky.

From erection to launch, this rocket has been "standing" for more than five months, making it the longest standing rocket in China's space history.

As the first rocket in China's space history that integrates emergency rescue and launch tasks, since the launch of Shenzhou XII, the Long March II F-13 rocket has been on emergency duty, and has been "looking up" at the starry sky until the Shenzhou XIII spacecraft was sent into space.

Looking up at the sky with the Long March-2 F-13 rocket is an astronaut from China. With the acceleration of exploring the vast universe, China will build an independently built and independently operated space station through 11 intensive missions. In the meantime, several recovery tasks and verification of key technologies in orbit will be carried out.

this is a career that can never be finished in a lifetime. Being able to take a full weekend off has become the wish of many participants, but it can only be a wish.

From Shenzhou-1 to Shenzhou-13, Chen Wei, the master assembly operator, was not absent from every launch mission, and was called "the old mage" by his colleagues. With Chen Wei here, everyone is at ease. For more than 2 years, although his home is in Shanghai, Chen Wei is more familiar with Dongfeng Aerospace City in the desert Gobi, but he is not used to returning to Shanghai.

this is a career that must be focused. If the data aiming at the orbit deviates by .1 degrees, the point of entry will deviate by hundreds of kilometers, and the consequences are unimaginable. At each launch, the aiming personnel are the last group of evacuated members, and they don't get on the evacuated car until the rocket enters the countdown for 15 minutes and the rocket state has stabilized.

this is also a never-ending undertaking. In 211, the Shenzhou-8 spacecraft and Tiangong-1 target aircraft achieved axial docking, and China achieved unmanned space rendezvous and docking for the first time, becoming the third country in the world to independently master the space rendezvous and docking technology.

On the 1th anniversary of "Kiss in Space", China Aerospace ushered in its first radial rendezvous and docking. From unmanned to manned, from automatic to manual, from a few days to 6.5 hours, from axial docking to radial docking, in the endless journey of exploring the universe, manned space technology continues to break through innovation, but it is always on the road.

*** vibration, which was once a world-class space launch problem. The United States, France and other countries in the process of rocket launch, there have been dozens of seconds of * * * vibration. In a Space Day, Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, also recalled the * * * vibration phenomenon in Shenzhou 5's mission: "The feeling of pain is getting stronger and stronger, and my insides seem to be broken. I can hardly bear it and feel that I am dying. "

In the later mission, the astronaut said, "The rocket we were riding was very comfortable and we could hardly feel the vibration."

Different from other satellite launch centers in China, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is located in the depths of Gobi, and there are no residential areas in Fiona Fang for dozens of kilometers. Choosing to come here is choosing selfless dedication.

However, this is a natural desert, but it is a palace of science. Heavy and intensive space missions have also given young people a platform and opportunities for rapid growth. In 218, Chongqing boy Chen Qimeng graduated from university and chose to come here. He always had a nosebleed for a whole month. "It's too dry, completely different from his hometown." In the past three years, Chen Qimeng has rapidly grown into a business backbone, and has successfully escorted the launch of Yunhai-1 2, Shenzhou-12 and Shenzhou-13 spacecraft.

"We will continue to spare no effort to make more young people who have dreams and are willing to struggle grow up in Dongfeng, a hot land of aerospace." Jiang Hanmin, Party Secretary of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, said.

Being in the desolate Gobi, I have a wonderful life. Just in the past National Day holiday, on the eve of the launch of Shenzhou XIII spacecraft, 12 couples held a grand collective wedding under the launch tower. Their wedding gift is a blessing video recorded by China astronauts in space: "We send the most sincere wishes from space at the China Space Station, wishing everyone a happy wedding, a hundred years of harmony and eternal unity."

that's the romance of astronauts.
