On January 1, 2022, the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew ushered in the first rays of the New Year in the distant space. To this end, they specially recorded a video to wish everyone a happy new year!
Commander Zhai Zhigang said in the video: "Today is new year's day in 2022, and our Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew greeted the arrival of the New Year for the first time on the space station built by Chinese. Happy New Year to all! ”
Wang Yaping said: "Space exploration belongs to all mankind and serves all mankind. In the new year, we will redouble our efforts and struggle to achieve the goal of building a space station. ”
"We firmly believe that the completion of the Chinese space station will certainly write a strong and colorful stroke in the history of China's space development and will certainly make pioneering contributions to the peaceful use of space by mankind." Ye Guangfu said.
Farewell to 2021 and happy 2022. This is the first time that Chinese has celebrated New Year's Eve in space, and it is also the first time that Chinese have celebrated New Year's Day in the space station they have built.
On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft took off and docked with the Tianhe core module autonomously and rapidly, and astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu began a six-month space stay. This also means that they will also spend the Chinese traditional festival in space - the Spring Festival.
According to the plan, China will officially build a space station in 2022, with long-term continuous manned capacity, and the astronaut crew will also achieve on-orbit rotation. At that time, Chinese in space to welcome the New Year and celebrate the Spring Festival will become the norm.
