Unfortunately, Deng Qingming was not selected as the first flight crew of Shenzhou XIII manned mission.

During the construction of China's space station, four manned missions of Shenzhou were carried out, namely "Shenzhou XII" to "Shenzhou XV".

This afternoon, the China Manned Space Engineering Office held a press conference to announce the list of the first flight crew of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission. Deng Qingming was not selected. What a pity!

During the construction of China's space station, there were four manned missions of Shenzhou, namely "Shenzhou 12" to "Shenzhou 15", among which the manned mission of Shenzhou 12 was successfully completed by Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo.

In fact, as early as 20 19 and 12, astronauts who had carried out four manned missions were selected.

Why should we select astronauts to take the group nearly two years in advance? According to Huang, chief designer of the astronaut system of China's manned spaceflight project, this is because in the construction stage of the space station, astronauts need to be selected according to different tasks and targeted training should be implemented.

The selection of these four crew members needs to be considered from all aspects, not only the characteristics of the four missions, but also the characteristics of each astronaut and their matching with the missions. These are the key points to pay attention to when selecting astronauts, as well as their experience and age, as well as the composition of the old and new collocation.

In addition, the ability of psychological integration and cooperation among astronauts in the crew is also an important factor.

Based on the above aspects, four crew members were selected to carry out the Shenzhou mission.

Judging from the above factors in choosing astronauts, Deng Qingming really has no advantage. He has never carried out the Shenzhou mission, so he has no experience and is old. It is also expected that he will not succeed in carrying out the Shenzhou mission.

Astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu will carry out the manned mission of Shenzhou XIII on 20021year 10/6 for six months.

Why did the "God XIII" mission arrange for female astronaut Wang Yaping to carry out the mission? Huang, chief designer of the astronaut system of China's manned spaceflight project, said in an interview with CCTV a few days ago that the manned mission of Shenzhou XIII lasted for six months. In such a long flight time, having a female astronaut is conducive to the compatibility, life care and related plan management of the entire crew, which is the advantage of women.

Deng Qingming, this name is familiar to everyone. People are familiar with him because he is one of the first astronauts in China, and the only astronaut among the first astronauts who has never carried out the Shenzhou manned mission. He is the only astronaut among the first astronauts who is not a general.

From 65438 to 0997, China began to select the first astronauts, from fighters and fighter pilots. Deng Qingming stood out from 2500 pilots and passed the selection.

199865438+1On October 5th, the China People's Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade was formally established and settled in Beijing Aerospace City. Deng Qingming also became one of the first 14 astronauts of the Astronaut Brigade. He swore in front of the national flag: brave and fearless, selfless dedication, not afraid of sacrifice, willing to fight for the manned spaceflight cause of the motherland for life.

In the year when I entered the astronaut brigade, my mother and my brother went to Beijing to visit him. When visiting the space city, my mother said to Deng Qingming, I hope to see him fly into space with my own eyes in my lifetime.

Regrettably, the old man's wish failed to come true after all. When Deng Qingming mentioned his mother, he couldn't help crying and felt sorry for his mother. However, Deng Qingming never stopped chasing the footsteps of "flying dreams".

The training of astronauts is very hard. More than 30 basic theoretical knowledge in eight categories, 140 training subjects. To be an astronaut, you need to be trained like a devil.

In order to realize his space dream, Deng Qingming almost gave up everything. He gave up his hobbies and spare time, entrusted the burden of his family to his wife and devoted himself to training.

Deng Qingming's wife, Man Hong Yan, has been silently supporting him behind his back, shouldering the burden of the family and taking care of her daughter alone.

Every time Deng Qingming returns to Beijing as a backup astronaut, his wife Man Hong Yan will wear a red suit and hold flowers to meet her daughter at the airport, encouraging and comforting him with the brightest smile.

The dream of "flying" is not out of reach for Deng Qingming, and the opportunity to fly comes to him again and again.

Deng Qingming was selected into the mission echelon for three times in a row to participate in the "Shenzhou 9", "Shenzhou 10" and "Shenzhou 11" manned missions, and finally entered the Shenzhou manned mission backup crew for three times, but he never realized his space dream.

The gap between not being selected for the first flight group several times is very small, that is, a few points, which makes Deng Qingming very helpless. It is this tiny gap that makes him stop in front of the launch tower and miss the dream of "flying".

But Deng Qingming never thought about giving up. At the end of 20 13, shortly after the "God Ten" mission, Deng Qingming found out kidney calculi in the physical examination. For ordinary people, small stones do not need surgery. But astronauts can't, because in the weightless environment in space, there will be the possibility of dissociation. To this end, he had two operations in a row before he completely removed the stone.

In Deng Qingming's view, "God 11" is the closest to his dream and the most harmful to him.

The day before the launch, four astronauts were divided into two groups, waiting for the final decision of the general command. The general command held a meeting to study and decide the final flight candidate. After the meeting, four astronauts on standby were ordered to fly Shenzhou XI by Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, and Deng Qingming was again ordered to be a standby astronaut.

Deng Qingming once described the scene at that time: After hearing the result, I was really blinded, and the whole hall was surprisingly quiet. I think most people are watching me. In fact, everyone sympathizes with him!

Speaking of the feelings at that time, Deng Qingming could not say a thousand words in his heart. He stood up and gave Jing Haipeng a hug around him.

The day after the launch of Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft, Deng Qingming returned to Beijing as a backup. As before, my daughter Deng Manqi accompanied her mother in red to meet her father at the airport and encouraged and comforted her father with the brightest smile.

Deng Qingming, who forced a smile all the way, returned to his home in the space city and looked at his neat home, a table full of food and three glasses of red wine. Deng Qingming could no longer control himself, went into the bathroom, turned on the tap and burst into tears. Crying and the sound of running water are intertwined. His wife comforted her and said, "No matter what the result is, our efforts over the years are worthwhile. We have worked hard, struggled, and have no regrets! "

Deng Qingming's daughter Deng Manqi is also an astronaut. His wife is a real Hong Yan, and her daughter is named after the first word of their names and a girl.

Deng Manqi, born in 199 1, is 30 years old and is the only daughter of Deng Qingming and his wife Man Hong Yan.

Astronauts are mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Deng Manqi, a 30-year-old engineer at Beijing Aerospace Control Center, astronauts are close at hand and intimate. Her father Deng Qingming is an astronaut.

Before the age of 7, for Deng Manqi, the memory of his father was vague. At that time, my father was a fighter pilot. Because of the heavy training task, I haven't seen it several times a year.

After Deng Qingming became a preparatory astronaut, he needed to participate in various trainings in order to go home once a week. Even when he got home, his father plunged into the study. If you want to talk to your father, it is not easy for Deng Manqi not to find a chance, let alone to play with her daughter. His wife, Hong Yan, bears all the burdens of the family.

Deng Manqi, 20120021year-old, became an "astronaut" without hesitation after graduating from Luoyang Foreign Languages Institute of PLA. During the 20 13 Shenzhou-10 mission, she worked in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

A few days before the launch of Shenzhou 10, Deng Qingming also came to Jiuquan as a member of the mission backup crew and stayed in the exhibition hall.

Father and daughter have been separated for almost a year, and they are very concerned about each other. Because the astronauts will enter the three-level isolation state (the highest level) after entering the museum and before flying, the two agreed to meet through the fence of the exhibition hall every night after dinner.

Father and daughter are separated by more than 10 meter. Deng Manqi said to his father, "Dad, the dream of flying is only one step away from you. No matter what the result is, come on! " "Turn around for an instant, Deng Manqi shed tears. /kloc-during 0/4 years, my father gave everything for his dream of flying, but he was repeatedly frustrated. The bitterness can only be experienced by family members.

On 20 16, 10, Deng Qingming was once again selected as the backup crew of the Shenzhou XI mission, but in the end, he missed the dream space again. When his father returned to his home in Space City, Deng Qingming could no longer control himself. He went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and burst into tears, tears and underwater sound intertwined.

That night, Deng Manqi wrote a letter to his father. The letter wrote: "I saw the white hair hidden in your dyed hair, and I was distressed by your silent struggle in this position for 20 years. Dad, you gave everything to your country and China's space industry. You are the most dedicated and selfless person I have ever met. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon. Our life goes on, and the days of fighting with you fascinate me. You will always be the greatest hero in my mind! "

Deng Qingming watched his comrades succeed in flying again and again, and returned with honor again and again. It is impossible to tell the truth without a sense of loss.

He often asks himself:

-Why do I always miss someone else's mission?

Astronauts are my profession. As an astronaut, I have never carried out the Shenzhou mission. Isn't that my dereliction of duty?

Deng Qingming asked himself again and again, but the task plan did not give him too much time to sort out negative emotions. After each successful Shenzhou mission, all astronauts should "zero" themselves in the shortest time, meet new challenges with a mentality of starting from scratch, and devote themselves to intense training to prepare for the next Shenzhou mission.

It is the long-cherished wish of all astronauts to go out for their country. Deng Qingming often said, "Whether it is the master copy or the backup, it is the duty of the astronauts. I will strive to do a good job of' backup' and let my comrades fly higher and more practical in the sky. "

Deng Qingming also said: "The first thing that all astronauts think of is to complete the task. The success of the mission is my success, and the flight of my comrades is my flight. No matter whether we can go out for the country or not, we must prepare for the dream, give ourselves, give our families, and give an account to the party, country and army that trained us. "

Deng Qingming said with emotion: "I was 50 years old when I was preparing for the Shenzhou XI manned mission, and I knew that there were not many flight opportunities left for me. I'm on a flight mission again. In order to break through the technical problem of China's mid-term in-orbit stay, Chen Dong and I participated in a 33-day ground simulation space stay test. This is what I personally paid the most, prepared the most, and came closest to my dream.

However, the day before the launch of the Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft, the headquarters announced that Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong were on a mission. To tell you the truth, I was in a mixed mood. I feel sorry for my three backups, and I am happy for Haipeng's three flights. There are a thousand words in my heart that I can't say. I hugged Haipeng tightly and said, "Haipeng, congratulations."

There is not a trace in the sky, but the birds have flown. At present, I am the only one among the first astronauts who has never carried out a flight mission, but is still taking part in study and training to prepare for the mission. 20 years of dreams, I have worked hard, I have struggled, and I have no regrets.

After the mission was successful, the commander-in-chief said to our two backup astronauts: "As an excellent backup, you are glorious. You completed this task with God 11. The success of the mission is your success, and the performance of the astronauts in the sky is your performance. " Hearing the word "* * *", I shed tears. In the face of such a sacred and great cause, personal gains and losses and personal honor and disgrace are really insignificant.

Deng Qingming missed the opportunity to carry out manned missions from "God 12" to "God 15", but as a backup astronaut, he participated in the training all the time, and he was ready to go up once the motherland needed it.

By 2023, Deng Qingming is 57 years old and no longer suitable for flying missions. What a pity! Maybe I can't dream in space for the rest of my life.

Perhaps there will be countless "Deng Qingming" in the future, supporting China's space career with their backup lives, and rushing to the stars, the sea and the vast sky.

Pay tribute to China astronaut Deng Qingming, you will always be the greatest hero in my mind!
