For this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Jing Haipeng has not even called, parents more or less some wonder, but when they heard that the child is Shenzhou 7 to ascend to the sky of the big hit, parents are very happy: "Now he must be very busy, no time to call home. I hope he can do a good job and live up to the country's training ......"

Jing Haipeng's younger brother, Jing Hailong, told reporters that due to the special work of his brother, often have to take part in closed training, the opportunity to go home is very rare, and even the phone call is also rare. But his brother is very filial, often texting him, asking about life at home as well as the physical condition of his parents, telling him to take care of his parents for himself. But this year, because of busy, the family has been a long time have not received Jing Haipeng's text messages, even the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet received a text message.

In fact, Jing Haipeng's filial piety is well-known, just loyalty and filial piety is difficult. But in the mother's opinion, "I'm a son of filial piety, send money home twice a year, our old couple's monthly expenses of three to four hundred dollars, now the days are better. Unlike the previous difficulties, the family three children have to go to school." In the past, the family had to rely only on their parents to earn labor credits during the day and bundle brooms at night to earn money for the three siblings to go to school, which made it very difficult for the family. Jing Haipeng almost dropped out of school because of this. Now the two old men still have an acre of their own land, still down to grow cotton, one in order to have work to do, two to help their daughter.

These are the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in the world for a long time," he said. Jing Haipeng is often only able to go home for the Spring Festival once every few years. "I especially do not want to send him to the station, every time we leave we cry, we know he does not want to leave us."

He said: "I hope that Haipeng can sit on the 'Shenzhou VII' this time, the country has trained him for so many years, he should contribute to the country." For his son's safety, the loyal and honest father was full of confidence, he said, "Our country is now so advanced in science and technology, I'm not worried about his safety, and surely he can succeed."

Edit Paragraph Back to Contents Jing Haipeng - Jing Haipeng Deeds On October 24, 1966, Jing Haipeng was born in the village of East Yangjiazhuo in Yuncheng City. This village has about 900 people, only their family name Jing. The villagers said that because Jing Haipeng is an astronaut, the village is very proud.

Jing Haipeng's junior high school language teacher, Mr. Zhang, said, "Quite a good kid, honest as hell." This year's 71-year-old teacher Zhang recalled, that time Jing Haipeng is very capable of solidarity with classmates, and classmates in the relationship to get very good. Mr. Zhang said he could not have predicted how Jing Haipeng could have achieved what he has now

Jing Haipeng once encountered setbacks due to physical reasons when he was recruited for the flight in middle school. "After falling short, his family planned to withdraw him from school." The old man said with red eyes that after talking to Jing Haipeng about the matter, he lay in bed without eating or drinking and cried for two days and two nights. In his last year of high school, Jing Haipeng passed a physical examination and was successfully recruited as a pilot.

Jing was selected as an astronaut in 1996, about four months after his son was born. Jing Haipeng's father said, "Because of this, he named his son Yufei." Jing Haipeng grew up loving sports, especially basketball. Because he was not tall, his teacher said he could not be the main player.

In the "Shenzhou V" manned space flight, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng were not selected by the top three astronauts in the training assessment of the first flight echelon. The first flight of the first three astronauts in the training assessment. The "Shen6" flight, with a long stay in space and the need to leave the return capsule and work in the orbital module, has a much higher degree of complexity and danger than the "Shen5" flight, and it is necessary for the two astronauts to cooperate with each other in accomplishing the flight mission. Combined with their personal wishes, the top six astronauts in the training assessment formed three flight crews. At the time, Wang Zhi interviewed Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng.

Wang Zhi: I think there is a contrast in the way you feel. During the "Shen 5", you were chosen step by step and finally got out of the game, but now you are watching others get out of the game, what kind of feelings do you have?

Liu Boming: I have personal experience of this, after "Shen 5", basically I was reading books and writing notes every day. I was thinking that since I didn't carry out the first mission, then I must do the latter "thick and thin". You only have to work hard, and when the opportunity comes, you will be able to grab it.

Jing Haipeng: the understanding of failure, may be each person has each person's insights, insights, I feel that in the space team there is no loser, there will never be a loser. No matter who is on, he is an executive and practitioner, the practitioner of all people's dreams. Let me give you a very small example, this time we are honored to be selected as the "God VI" echelon, but before each examination, other comrades who have not been selected, not that this time I will not participate in the mission, and I have nothing to do with it, before each examination, before each training, are encouraging us to do well in the examination. Their wishes, hope that through us to realize.

Wang Zhi: Birming how do you understand the career of astronauts?

Liu Boming: Armstrong's quote has always been very inspiring to me, when I was in high school, when I was writing my essay at that time I used that quote, "One small step for me, one big step for mankind."

Shenzhou VII spacecraft will be launched into space on the 25th of this month, and the 3 regular astronauts have been identified. Sources said the most likely candidate for China's first spacewalk is astronaut Zhai Zhigang, who has been selected twice for the Shenzhou program. The three regular astronauts for the Shenzhou VII spacecraft include Zhai Zhigang, who was selected for the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI programs, and two teammates, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, who were also selected for Shenzhou VI.

Liu Booming

The most likely candidate for the mission is Zhai Zhigang, with Liu Booming as his first choice. 42-year-old Zhai Zhigang, a native of Longjiang county in Qiqihar city, Heilongjiang province, joined the Air Force in 1985, and has more than 1,000 hours of safe flights to his credit.

It is understood that Shenzhou VII will lift off at 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the 25th of this month. And the afternoon to evening of the 26th and 27th are the most suitable time to go out of the capsule, when 2 astronauts will enter the orbital module. As the space suit is very heavy, costing more than 100 million yuan, it will take another person to help put it on. The spacewalk will take about 40 minutes. The astronauts will have 2 lifelines attached to them. The space suit is based on the Russian space suit, which provides oxygen, pressure, power and communication equipment, etc. After leaving the capsule, the astronauts will be accompanied by a small satellite, which has a video camera to live broadcast the space walk. If this technology is successful, it will be a breakthrough in Chinese space technology. After the liftoff about 68 hours, all the experiments will be completed. 28th afternoon the spacecraft will return to earth. Shenzhou VII is about to be launched, and the last rocket and telemetry system tests have been completed. The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center has raised its alert level inside and outside the center, and the security of the nearby military airport has also been strengthened. The radar and all kinds of detection instruments have been put into operation, and are deployed on the ground and in the air. The radar is constantly detecting, the sky and the ground are fully reinforced, and the military airport is about 100 kilometers away from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, which is the necessary route to the launch center and another layer of protection network outside the launch center to ensure that the preparations for the Shenzhou VII launch mission will be done in a foolproof manner. On the last two occasions when Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI lifted off, national leaders from Beijing came to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch the launching process, and they arrived at this military airport first, then transferred to the launch center. The area from the launch center to the military airport has been classified as a military restricted area, the space road is completely blocked, and no one is allowed to stay in this area, and filming is even more strictly prohibited. Shenzhou 5, Shenzhou 6 and Shenzhou 7 were all launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, but the security was obviously tightened one at a time. The number of checkpoints leading to the city has increased from one or two in the past to three or four, with armed police and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) on guard every day, and all vehicles heading to the launch center from Aerospace Road must have a permit to travel there, with drivers and passengers all required to register their documents.

Shenqi

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Chairman Keiji Tachikawa said on Sept. 11 that Japan should actively consider manned spaceflight activities in the future, and will realize the goal of manned flights into the government's basic plan for spaceflight. Speaking at a press conference on the same day about the Basic Space Law, which came into effect on Aug. 27 this year, Keiji Tachikawa said that China, in addition to the U.S. and Russia, has successfully conducted manned space flights, and that the development of human spaceflight in Japan, as one of the advanced countries in the field of spaceflight, is of strategic significance, the news agency **** reported.

Some analysts believe that Japan still needs to break through multiple bottlenecks in technology to realize its goal of autonomous human spaceflight. First, the reliability of the rocket needs to be further improved. Second, the realization of this goal requires a significant increase in the frequency of rocket launches, the scale of Japan's space industry is still insufficient. Third, Japan has yet to master spacecraft return technology.

Indian newspaper Trust reported on September 11 that China's "Shenzhou 7" stimulated India's space industry, and the head of India's aerospace agency told a reporter from the newspaper Trust on the same day: "India has completed the vacuum test of the unmanned lunar probe, and the test results are very satisfactory. Next week, we will announce plans for the launch of the unmanned probe to the moon, which is expected to take place between October 22 and 26."

Asia's neighbors are keen on China's "Shenzhou 7" has a very practical significance. The "Shenzhou" is a masterpiece of science and technology, which can drive the technological progress and production capacity of many scientific and technological industries such as new materials, electronics, machinery manufacturing, textiles and communications, forming a huge industrial chain. Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics School of Economics and Management Professor Han Liyan believes that China's aerospace industry has tens of billions of dollars a year in overall investment, a rough estimate, China's aerospace industry radiates out of the industry chain has reached the scale of 120 billion yuan, will drive the long-term growth of the Chinese economy.

Jai Zhigang was born on October 10, 1966, in a small village in Longjiang County, Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province. His father was bedridden, and his large family depended on his mother

Jai Zhigang

to support him. When he was young, Zhai Zhigang's family life was very difficult, but his illiterate mother was not ambiguous about her children's schooling. She said, "The Zhai family will have to pay for several children's education." Zhai Zhigang said, "My mother, who is nearly sixty years old, sold fried melon seeds to pay for me to finish elementary school and junior high school. Every day, she would get up early and go to the street to sell fried melon seeds in the wind and rain, and every night she would come back and smooth out the wrinkled corner notes and cents with her rough and cracked hands. This scene let me emotionally can no longer endure, I with hot tears to my mother said I do not want to continue to study, I want to help your old man to support the family."

When he said the idea, his mother was angry. The mother said to Zhai Zhigang with tears in her eyes, "Mom can't read, and I can't tell you what's right, but I recognize a reason, you must read this book! "

The Air Force Flight Academy has come to recruit! Zhai Zhigang happily enrolled. When friends and family came to tell him the news that he was admitted to the Air Force Flight Academy, his mother was even more excited than he was. The day before he left, his mother pulled out a warm 5 yuan bill from her personal bag and shoved it into his son's hand. Zhai Zhigang couldn't hold back his heartache, wrapped his arms around his gray-haired mother and cried.......

Under his mother's eager gaze, Zhai Zhigang grew up step by step. He has served as a flight leader and flight instructor, and one day in May 1995, Zhai Zhigang took part in flight training. Suddenly, a strong air current swept up a sandstorm toward the airport. At that time, he was on his way back to the airport, he could not see the ground visually, and the wind speed was more than 10 meters, so he drove the fighter plane to land safely and securely based on the instrument. That time, he was honored with a third-class merit.

Edit this paragraph Back to the catalog Zhai Zhigang - from the pilot to the astronauts in the early summer of 1996, Zhai Zhigang received a notice to participate in the initial selection of astronauts physical examination. After passing the preliminary examination, he was notified to attend the clinical physical examination at the Air Force General Hospital in Beijing. Next, he went to the Beijing Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering to take part in the "special examination", which is the aerospace physiological function examination.


Zhai Zhigang

The body of dozens of large and small organs checked one by one, followed by the aerospace physiological function check is even more demanding. A few months down the road, there were few of the more than 1,000 preliminary finalists left.

Jai Zhigang successfully passed through each hurdle. His clinical medicine and aerospace physiological function tests were all excellent, convincing all the experts on the selection committee. From pilot to astronaut, there are many things to learn from scratch. For basic theory training, there are more than a dozen courses. Zhai Zhigang recalled: "I have already flown 1000 hours as a pilot, so I can basically eat my old money. After arriving here, every day like students preparing for college entrance exams lying on the table reading, learning things are also very boring, sounds very hard, the beginning is really not adapted. When I first came here for two years, I didn't sleep before 12 o'clock at night."

The aerospace environment adaptation training is a very hard training. However, the reporter found an interesting phenomenon when watching the video of him conducting this training --- from the beginning to the end, Zhai Zhigang wore a smile.

Before the first flight, Zhai Zhigang's psychological instructor had asked him, "Have you ever thought about what the mood would be if you were chosen to perform the first flight?" Zhai Zhigang's face was full of smiles: "I will be more relaxed than the usual training, let me go to fly easily!" "To fulfill the dream of flying, for the motherland!" Zhai Zhigang said so.

Edit Paragraph Back to Contents Zhai Zhigang - Into the 3-man first flight echelon Zhai Zhigang's mother is now 81 years old, she is reluctant to leave her hometown to enjoy the blessings of her son in Beijing. Zhai Zhigang, who is unable to stay by his mother's side to fulfill his filial piety, can only express his feelings as a son by sending some money. He said, send how much daughter-in-law do not care, straight to send until I think it is appropriate.

In his daily life, Zhai Zhigang has many hobbies, and his colleagues say that he belongs to the "static and dynamic" type. He is good at studying calligraphy, and is quite deep; he is a good ballroom dancer, and every time the astronauts have a dance party, he is the one who flies all over the place. He is also a skilled craftsman, home installation, repair what a thing, he will see, a touch to understand.

In his spare time, Zhai Zhigang loves to read martial arts novels, loves to watch TV sketches, imitating Zhao Benshan, there are really a few points of God and like. He also has a lesser-known hobby --- love finished electric toys. Every time you buy a motorized toy for your son, he will play with it first and then coach your son.

Wife Zhang Shujing said, "I have 3 words of praise for Zhai Zhigang: he is a warm husband, a lovely father and a filial son."

When astronauts were selected that year, it was required that family members also undergo medical examinations. Zhang Shujing told Zhai: "If it affects you because of my health, then I will support your career even if I divorce you!"

Zhai Zhigang

During the preparation stage for the launch of the Shenzhou V spacecraft, Zhai Zhigang was selected to join the three-member first-flight echelon because of his excellent training results and overall quality.

Before the test drill began, Zhai's psychological instructor went to talk to him for fear that he would be nervous. Zhai Zhigang wore a smile and laughed.

Without a few words, the instructor came back and said, "I wanted to help him relieve his tension, but he was good and helped me relax my emotions first."

Now, comrades realized the "dream of flying", Zhai Zhigang said: "For the motherland, we must fly higher!"

According to Hong Kong media reports, Shenzhou 7 has entered the final stage of preparation before launch. Among the astronauts who will go into space with Shenzhou 7, Zhai Zhigang, who has been selected for two manned space flights, has become a favorite.

Psychological test one hour before launch

The China Manned Spaceflight Office previously announced that the "Shenzhou VII" will be composed of three astronauts in the flight crew, and three astronauts as alternates. Two astronauts in the flight crew will enter the orbital module of the spacecraft and complete the preparation for the cabin activities with extravehicular space suits, while one astronaut will go out of the cabin to carry out spacewalk and complete the operation of relevant space science experiments.

Aerospace industry sources analyze, "Shen six" before the launch, there are Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, Zhai Zhigang and Wu Jie three groups of astronauts shortlisted for the finalists. In the "Shenzhou seven" alternative astronauts, they are also excellent performance.

But according to past experience, the selection of space flight crew members is not the most outstanding performance of which several astronauts will be combined together, but also to take into account the adaptability, compatibility and other factors. "Before the launch of Shenzhou 5 and Shenzhou 6, the final stage of preparation for the astronauts will also be a rigorous and uninterrupted physical examination and psychological testing, and there will also be a psychological test one hour before the launch to ensure that the astronauts are in the best physical and psychological condition at the time of the launch.

Training hard, well-prepared and cheerful

"God six" candidate astronauts, and Zhai Zhigang partner Wu Jie has said, Zhai Zhigang in the astronaut brigade is very good, fast reaction, disposal of special circumstances of judgment and decision-making is very accurate, at the same time, he trained hard, well-prepared, in addition to the Zhai Zhigang character cheerful, where to go, will be a piece of smiling, and will be a piece of smiling, and will be a piece of smiling, and will be a piece of smiling.

The first time I saw him, I saw him in the air, and I thought he was a good man.
