Recently, Shenzhou 12 astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo appeared at the press conference, which was the first time they had officially met with the media and the public since they returned to the ground on September 17.
How is the "Space Trip Trio" recovering after returning? What stories would you like to share? Recently, the reporter of the main station interviewed astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo.
The functions of the body are not affected
It has now moved to the recovery observation phase
The recovery period after the return of the Shenzhou 12 astronauts is mainly divided into isolation recovery stage, convalescence recovery stage, and recovery observation stage. At present, the Shenzhou 12 astronaut crew has completed the second phase of work and has now fully moved to the stage of recovery and observation.
Astronaut Liu Boming introduced that the body recovery is about half a year or so, "if the recovery is fast, it can reach the state before the flight mission." At present, astronauts mainly exercise their hearts and lungs by jogging, and will not enter the next step of training until the body is fully recovered.
Liu Boming said that the astronauts' internal organs and body functions were not affected, and weightlessness mainly changed the distribution of body fluids. "Now the God Thirteenth Group astronauts in space have swollen faces, and looking at the shiny oil feels younger, but they are actually congested, not fat."
First entry into the space station
One person removes thousands of screws
On June 17, three Shenzhou XII astronauts boarded the Chinese space station. Previously, the Successful launch and rendezvous and docking of the Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft with the Tianhe core module has sent 6.8 tons of supplies in advance. The first task of the astronauts after moving in is to sort out the materials and install the equipment and facilities.
Nie Haisheng introduced that sorting out materials and installing equipment is related to their later life and must be completed within a few days. "The kitchen and bathroom must be installed and put in order... To make these things, you have to remove a lot of screws, and after dismantling, you can't stack them, step by step, it's very cumbersome, so you keep doing it. ”
Liu Boming described the three astronauts at this stage as like stevedores, "I dismantled more than 3,000 screws, and finally the screws went straight to Venus." ”
The first time you leave the cabin, you encounter a challenge
It was 1 hour longer than originally planned
At 8:11 on July 4, Liu Boming jumped into the vast universe. This is the second time after 13 years that The Chinese astronauts have performed the mission after the successful completion of the shenzhou 7 flight crew. Towards the end of the outgoing activity, Liu Boming needed to remove the operator table on the robotic arm and install it on the extravehicular toolbox at the entrance of the node cabin, at which time he encountered a challenge.
Liu Boming: The operating table is particularly shaking, and we are also floating, but it is not right. I couldn't fit it alone, Tang Hongbo came out again, and neither could the two of us.
Facing the more than one-meter-long operating platform swaying in space, Liu Boming quickly made a judgment, "I asked the ground to split and operate according to the outgoing procedure." Later, the ground took my advice and gave it a split operation. ”
After the dismantling password was issued, the space station flew out of the measurement and control area. When he entered the measurement and control area again after 11 minutes, Liu Boming had already installed the operating table on the extravehicular toolbox.
After about 7 hours of outgoing activities, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo successfully completed the mission of leaving the cabin. The first departure was 1 hour longer than originally planned, but with the experience of the first departure, the second departure on August 21 was completed 1 hour earlier than planned.
Get a "space ticket" every 8 years
Nie Haisheng: Astronauts are not superhuman
From being selected as china's first batch of astronauts in 1998, to Shenzhou VI in 2005, to Shenzhou X in 2013 and Shenzhou XII in 2021, every 8 years, Nie Haisheng can get a "space admission ticket" and perform flying missions. Now 57 years old, he is the first astronaut in China to remain in orbit for 100 days.
Many netizens therefore compared him to Superman, Nie Haisheng said: "I am an ordinary person, there are many people who can go up at this age, but many people may not have this opportunity." ”
Nie Haisheng: I caught up with the opportunity of the country to build a space station, and I reached this age, I trained and met the requirements, and I kept preparing.
Reporter: How long have you been preparing?
Nie Haisheng: I haven't stopped here.
Insist on 11 years to achieve the dream of flying
Tang Hongbo: I have been learning to learn
Tang Hongbo, 46, is the youngest astronaut in the Shenzhou 12 astronaut crew.
For him, the long wait before becoming an astronaut tempered his will more than the daily hard training. When Liu Yang, Wang Yaping, and Chen Dong, who were among the comrades-in-arms of the same batch, flew into the sky one after another, Tang Hongbo had not yet waited for his own opportunity. In 2016, he was selected as a backup astronaut for the Shenzhou 11 mission, but still rubbed shoulders with the dream of flying.
This experience made Tang Hongbo understand that he should work harder to improve himself. He often went to the unit on weekends to read books, except for lunch time, he was studying materials. "Now the tasks are becoming more and more complex, and more and more knowledge is required. I've been learning, learning, learning, and waiting for this opportunity in my studies. ”
Space improvisation
Liu Boming: If I want to write on the ground, I can't write
At the end of the second departure activity of Shenzhou XII, Liu Boming once looked around the universe and said goodbye to the stars.
He lingered in the hatch for a minute, improvising poems to share with the people of the country. "The vast road of the universe is long, and hundreds of millions of sons and daughters have built sky bridges. Strolling astronauts are not old, And China's aerospace relay runs. ”
When it comes to improvisation, Liu Boming said, "At that time, it was really inspiration, you want me to write on the ground, I can't write it, I can't read it." ”
