Our journey is to the stars and the sea
Chen Dong
People with dreams
always know what they want
The dream of becoming an astronaut took root in Chen Dong's heart 14 years ago. That year, Shenzhou VII flew into space, astronaut Zhai Zhigang printed the first line of Chinese footprints in the vastness of space. The scene of the five-star red flag dancing in space is y imprinted in Chen Dong's mind
In May 2010, Chen Dong officially joined the Chinese astronaut brigade, but it's not easy to realize the dream of flying. At the beginning of the rotating chair training, every time he finished spinning he would break out in a cold sweat, and his head was dizzy. He bought a computer chair at home that can be rotated, and when he has time, he sits on it and lets his wife push him around.
Super heavy endurance adaptive training, the requirements of the overload to reach 8 G, that is, eight times the body weight. This is a challenge to the human potential of a "devil training". Chen Dong said: "You will feel the 8 G pressure on every inch of your skin, every cell, and even feel your organs are temporary 'displacement', can not breathe. You're obviously not crying, but the tears will be thrown out uncontrollably."
After all the hard work, Chen Dong finally quenched into steel. 2016, Chen Dong was selected for the Shenzhou XI astronaut crew, completing his first trip to space. This time, he served as commander of the Shenzhou XIV crew and led the team on the trip. Chen Dong once said, "I want to go out into space for my motherland and dedicate my life to manned spaceflight." People with dreams always know what they want, and then take one step at a time to get their dreams closer to them
Liu Yang
Mindful of the mountains and the sea, with stars in her eyes, she has written the glory of her country all over the space time and time again
Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut to go into space, is just a decade past her last space trip.
Preparing for the space station mission, the difficulties and challenges encountered are far beyond imagination. The training is the most intense and longest training program. The first time I participated in an underwater test of the outer space suit, I was able to get a good look at it and see if I could get a good look at it. The first time to participate in the underwater testing of extravehicular clothing, Liu Yang in more than 120 kilograms of clothing only three or four hours of work, the hand has been shaking so that can not hold the pen, can not shake the fist, and then the real out of the cabin activity training, a time to work continuously for seven or eight hours.
The requirements for upper body strength for cabin activities are very high, and Liu Yang thinks that compared with the needs of the mission, there is still a gap in her strength, so she secretly gives herself a plus. At this moment, I also firmly said, China's space station, I'm about to ride the boat, I will always have the heart of the mountains and the sea, the eyes of the stars, and always keep the beginning, time and time again, the glory of the motherland written all over the space."
Cai Xuzhe
As long as they do not have to fly to make up for their own shortcomings constantly
Shenzhou XIV flight crew has a new face, Cai Xuzhe. He has been waiting for 12 years for this day.
In 2003, the Shenzhou V mission was a success, and the Chinese nation's millennium dream of flying was realized. 27-year-old pilot Cai Xuzhe sat in front of the TV and was y attracted by the career of astronauts. After seven years of hard work, he became a member of China's second batch of astronauts.
Over the past 12 years, Cai Xuzhe has seen many of his comrades go out into space and triumph. He said: as long as they do not fly, it means that they have a gap in some aspects, so we have to find their own shortcomings, and constantly to make up for their short board, until they have the ability to really carry out the task of that day.
He understands that only by training harder can he better meet the opportunities that come his way. For space rendezvous and docking tasks, he is often alone in the astronauts' apartment to the desktop simulator training until midnight Cai Xuzhe said, "12 years, I am always ready for the motherland to go on a mission, will not disgrace the mission, successful completion of the task."
