Chinese the first space New Year's Eve, Shenzhou 13 astronauts and Students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao "Dialogue between Heaven and Earth"

"Today we are in China's own space homeland, ushering in the first ray of sunshine of the New Year, which is also the first time that we Chinese in space to celebrate the New Year..." At the "New Year's Day Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Tiangong Dialogue" held on January 1, 2022, Wang Yaping shared his feelings about welcoming the New Year on the space station. On the first day of the new year, Shenzhou 13 astronauts and crew Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu conducted a "dialogue between heaven and earth" on the China Space Station, interacting with young students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao.

When talking about the spirit of manned spaceflight, Zhai Zhigang introduced that there are eight big characters on the lintel of the astronaut brigade: The interests of the motherland are above all else. No matter how high and far we fly, a strong motherland will always be our strongest backing, and patriotism will always be the source of motivation that motivates us to fly." At the same time, he also said that the most challenging thing in this flight mission is the 6-month on-orbit stay, thanks to the hard work and all-round support of the scientific researchers of the whole line of the project, so that the three people always maintain a "good feeling" during the flight.

"At no time, we are never alone in battle!" In response to the questions of Macao students, Ye Guangfu said that the three members of the group are very united and highly trusted fighting collectives, and at the same time, there are thousands of astronauts on the ground who provide intellectual support and technical support around the clock, and when they encounter difficulties, they will cross the heavenly road at the first time to send them warmth and strength.

Wang Yaping shared with the young students the personal experience of the two space lectures, the "classroom" is more spacious and atmospheric, the teaching content is richer and more interesting, and the live broadcast screen is clearer and smoother, which reflects the prosperity and strength of the motherland and the leapfrog development of the aerospace industry. What makes her even happier is that the dream seeds planted by the space teaching eight years ago are blossoming, and the children who sat in the classroom and listened to the space teaching at that time have now become members of the space family and are fighting side by side with the astronauts on the job. Wang Yaping hopes that Tiangong Classroom can become a platform to ignite dreams, "I also hope to be a space teacher in the hearts of children forever." ”

On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft was successfully launched, opening China's longest manned flight so far, and the group of three will stay in orbit in orbit in the core module of the Tiangong Space Station for 6 months.

2022 is 30 years after the implementation of China's manned space project, China will fully enter the space station orbit construction stage, a total of 6 flight missions are planned, including two space station modules, dream of the launch mission, and two cargo spacecraft and two manned spacecraft launch missions. It is expected that by the end of 2022, the Chinese space station will complete the construction of the three-capsule complex, and after a comprehensive assessment of the status of the space station, it will move to the application and development stage.

Wang Yaping said in the sharing that 2022 is destined to become a year worthy of writing in China's aerospace history, and under the support of the motherland and the people, thousands of astronauts will work together to win the decisive battle of space station construction. The exploration of space is endless, the pace of Chinese exploration will surely be more stable and farther, and the stage of struggle will become larger and larger. "As the inheritor of this great cause, I am very happy that I can run my own stick well at such a great historical moment and deliver satisfactory answers in the new year."
