In 2021, China's aerospace achievements have attracted worldwide attention: the successful launch of the Tianhe core module, the opening of the construction curtain of the Chinese space station, the completion of the Mars rover zhurong, and the number of space launches have reached a record high.
In 2021, with the scientific spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement, China Aerospace handed over a wonderful answer sheet that inspired the Chinese people and admired the world.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!
In 2021, the curtain on the construction of the Chinese space station was fully opened, two groups of astronauts entered the space station, and China entered the era of the space station.
On June 23 this year, Xi Jinping came to the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center and had cordial calls with Shenzhou 12 astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo, who were on a mission in the Tianhe core module.
Xi Jinping: Everyone is very happy to see that you are in good shape and your work is going well. The construction of the space station is an important milestone in China's space industry and will make pioneering contributions to the peaceful use of space by mankind.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's call with the three astronauts warmed people's hearts, filled with ardent expectations for building a space power, and also inspired all astronauts.
In June this year, Nie Haisheng, together with Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, became the first passengers of China's space station. Three months of residency, two outgoing missions, they used perfect performance to create a new record for the space residency of Chinese astronauts, but also laid a solid foundation for the construction and operation of the space station.
Astronaut Liu Boming: Wow, it's so beautiful outside, it's old and bright.
Astronaut Liu Boming: We have caught up with this good era. Everyone has a dream, we are dreamers, and for my mission, I am also a dreamer. China's aerospace is one baton after another.
Taking over the baton, a month after the safe return of the Shen 12 multipliers group, on October 16, Shenzhou 13 astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu embarked on a flying journey, starting a six-month long space station life, and the record of Chinese's stay in space will be refreshed again.
Astronaut Zhai Zhigang: I have left the capsule and feel good.
At present, the Shenzhou 13 crew has been flying in orbit for more than two months, completing the first capsule and the first space station space teaching.
In 2021, China Aerospace has written a Chinese miracle in space. On the moon 380,000 kilometers away, Yutu-2 has traveled 965.85 meters, and is constantly refreshing the record for human probes to travel on the moon. In July this year, the 1731 grams of lunar soil samples brought back by Chang'e 5 have been distributed to many scientific research institutions, and new results on lunar research continue to emerge.
Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration: It has been proved that the moon still has the age of volcanic activity, about 1 billion years younger than the world's known discoveries, and these scientific achievements are the wealth of mankind.
The pace of China's aerospace is not only on the moon, but also on Mars, which is 400 million kilometers away. In 2021, Tianwen-1 left its mark on Mars that belonged to Chinese.
On February 10, Tianwen-1 was successfully captured by Mars.
On May 15, Tianwen-1 successfully landed on Mars, and China became the second country in the world to land on Mars.
On May 22, the "Zhurong" rover began to patrol and explore.
The realization of the three major tasks of "orbit", "landing" and "patrol and exploration" at one time is unique in the history of world spaceflight, and every step forward of the Zhurong Mars rover has created a new record for China's aerospace.
Geng Yan, director of the General Department of Deep Space Exploration Engineering of the Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center of the China National Space Administration, said: Organize follow-up planetary exploration missions and take the pace of Chinese exploration of the universe more stable and farther.
The stars are vast and the exploration is endless.
In 2021, China's ability to enter space continues to improve, the total number of launches of the Long March series of rockets exceeds 400 times, and China has the ability to launch low, medium and high different Earth orbits and different types of spacecraft.
In 2021, the number of space launches in China hit a record high, more than 50 times, and more and more "Chinese stars" shine in space.
He Yufan, director of a technical office of the Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center: (This year's space launch) This number is also unprecedented in history, and we will manage, use and protect our space assets well, and we will guard every "Chinese star".
"We're all running hard, we're all dreamers." In the upcoming year of 2021, China's aerospace industry is constantly surpassing, and it is using a solid footprint to turn dreams into reality.
