Struggle for a century and set sail on a new journey·Several romantic figures丨Work together to realize the dream of flying - remembering the "Chang'e" and "Shenzhou" who served the country in aerospace Beidou" team

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 23, titled: Working together to realize the dream of flying - remembering the "Chang'e", "Shenzhou" and "Beidou" teams that serve the country in aerospace

At an orbit of 390 kilometers above the ground, the Shenzhou 12 spacecraft successfully rendezvoused with the Tianhe core module, and the Chinese entered their own space station for the first time;

At an orbital altitude of 36,000 kilometers, the Beidou satellite looks at the earth from a distance , guiding the way forward;

Located 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 left Chinese imprints on the front and back of the moon respectively. Chang'e-5 even successfully pushed 1,731 liters into the moon. The soil was brought back to the earth, and the feats of "treasure retrieval from the moon palace, lunar orbit docking, and space delivery" were performed...

The so-called feats are all due to struggle. Behind the achievements, it is inseparable from the "Chang'e", "Shenzhou" and "Beidou" teams that serve the country in aerospace. They innovate independently and make continuous breakthroughs, writing pages of brilliant chapters in my country's aerospace history.

"Chang'e" team: Reaching the moon from beyond the clouds

In the early morning of December 17, 2020, like a meteor on the vast grassland, Chang'e-5 pierced the sky, After sprinting for 100 meters, he returned to the earth and raised a cloud of smoke.

As the first human lunar sample return mission in the 21st century, the successful implementation of the Chang'e-5 mission marks a big step forward for China's aerospace industry.

From Chang'e 1 to Chang'e 5, China's lunar exploration project has achieved excellent results. It did not exceed the budget, did not lower the target, did not delay the time, and completed the three-step plan of "circling, landing, and returning" as scheduled. It has delivered a brilliant answer to the world in the field of lunar exploration.

Looking back on the difficult path of exploration that the "Chang'e" team has traveled, the complete success of Chang'e 1 and Chang'e 2 in orbiting the moon has made the Chinese people's dream of "going to the moon palace to find out" come true. Really possible.

"Once the door to the moon is opened, the pace of deep space exploration will not stop." said Academician Sun Jiadong, the first chief designer of the lunar exploration project.

Overcoming obstacles again and again, fighting hard in battle after battle, the pioneering and enterprising "Chang'e" team adheres to the oath of "taking the national mission as its own responsibility" and uses independent innovation as the driving force for team growth. It paved a perfect path for Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 to land on the moon, allowing the "golden brand" of "China's lunar exploration" to shine in the vast space.

"A person without imagination and curiosity has no motivation." From advocating that Chang'e-4 go to the back of the moon to Chang'e-5 to obtain the youngest lunar soil, the Chang'e-1 satellite system has always Academician Ye Peijian, commander and chief designer and "people's scientist", has always believed that "you have to think further."

From Chang'e-3 and Yutu to Chang'e-4 and Yutu-2, and then to Chang'e On the 5th, the successful visits of Chinese probes to the moon one after another outline the dream-like footsteps of the Chinese nation towards the great rejuvenation.

"Shenzhou" team: supporting the millennium dream of flying into space

"The heart reaches beyond the sky, and the eyes are as far as the stars." This is the most authentic inner portrayal of Chinese astronauts. At this moment, looking up, three Chinese astronauts are flying in space, and the China Dream Space Station is taking new steps.

On June 17, 2021, astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo successfully flew into space on the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft and became the first batch of personnel to occupy the Tianhe core module of the China Space Station, kicking off China’s manned space project The first manned mission in the space station phase.

From the myths and legends of Nuwa patching up the sky and Kuafu chasing the sun, to the literary imagination of Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" and Li Bai's "raising a glass to invite the bright moon", flying away from the earth and traveling in space has been the dream of the Chinese nation since ancient times. One of the dreams. In order to realize their dreams, generations of Chinese people have been exploring the road to flying in practice.

No matter how difficult it is, facing the huge challenge of manned space flight is not easy! This is how the "Shenzhou" team withstands pressure, makes difficulties easier, and makes the impossible possible.

From Shenzhou 1 to Shenzhou 12, generations of "Shenzhou" teams have strong patriotic feelings and screw themselves into their jobs and the motherland's aerospace industry like screws. Chasing extraordinary life ideals in ordinary positions, he fulfilled his solemn promise of "serving the motherland with success and creating brilliance with excellence" with practical actions.

"Beidou" team: China's Beidou shines in the sky

On July 31, 2020, the completion and opening ceremony of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system was held in Beijing. The system has been fully completed and put into service, marking my country becoming the third country in the world to independently own a global satellite navigation system.

Over the past 26 years, all personnel involved in the development and construction of the Beidou system have faced difficulties, dared to fight tough battles, and continued to struggle, carrying forward the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite" and cultivating the Beidou spirit in the new era.

"Key core technologies must be firmly in one's own hands" "This is a team project, there are no individual heroes" "China's Beidou, the world's Beidou, first-class Beidou"... "Beidou" team It is with this belief that China’s Beidou Star shines in the sky.

From the strategic decisions for the step-by-step implementation of Beidou-1, Beidou-2, and Beidou-3, to the design of the Beidou satellite navigation system with Chinese characteristics, to more than 160 projects including inter-satellite links and high-precision atomic clocks Breakthroughs in key core technologies and localized development of more than 500 device components all demonstrate the ambition and pursuit of innovation of the Beidou team.

“This is another victory for the Chinese people’s hard work and self-reliance in developing a major country.” Xie Jun, chief designer of Beidou-3 satellite, is very proud that “Beidou has become China’s world-renowned "A business card."

"In addition to going to the sky, our satellites also need to be 'landed'. They need to be better integrated with economic construction to achieve greater benefits. In a word, aerospace must ultimately be used." To benefit the people," Sun Jiadong said.

By 2035, China will build a more ubiquitous, more integrated, and more intelligent national comprehensive positioning, navigation and timing system to further enhance its spatiotemporal information service capabilities. Beidou will serve the world and benefit mankind with stronger functions and better performance.
