From "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon" to "Dream of Mars", Ye Peijian has devoted more than 50 years to China's space industry. Chief designer and chief commander of China's first-generation transmission Earth observation satellite, chief designer and chief commander of Chang 'e-1, chief scientist of Chang 'e-3 detector system, chief commander and chief designer consultant of Chang 'e-2, Chang 'e-4 and Chang 'e-5 testers, are leading figures in the space field.
In order to introduce China's space industry to more people, Ye Peijian began to compile professional books and magazines. He mobilized experts in space systems and compiled a set of 23 books on space technology science, which have been used as teaching materials in many universities. One of the academician's popular science series "Journey, the Story of Human Exploration of Space" has been published, mainly for middle school students; He also served as the editor-in-chief, and founded the magazine Space Science and Technology, which was distributed to the whole world in English, to let the world know about the progress of China's space flight.
A Brief Introduction to the Story of Ye Peijian and Space Industry;
In 2004, China's lunar exploration project was approved, and Ye Peijian, nearly 60 years old, was appointed as the chief designer and commander-in-chief of Chang 'e-1 satellite, which was the first artificial satellite orbiting the moon in China's lunar exploration project. Facing the technical blockade of some international space powers, Ye Peijian led a scientific research team with an average age of less than 30, overcame a series of difficult problems from scratch, and obtained a large number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights.
The successful launch of Chang 'e-1 has realized the Chinese dream for thousands of years and become the third milestone of China's space industry. "If we want to develop, we must rely on innovation and technology." This is Ye Peijian's philosophy.
Chang 'e IV landed on the back of the moon, which was also the result of Ye Peijian's argument. Before the launch of Chang 'e IV, many people advocated landing on the front of the moon like Chang 'e III, because it was safer and more sure. Ye Peijian pushed his way through the crowd and suggested that Chang 'e IV land on the back of the moon. His reason is a pure scientific thinking: "Don't be afraid of failure in scientific exploration, innovate every step and do what others have never done."
