It's almost the end of the year, and in a few days, almost every one of us will be able to enjoy family reunions, but in the distant space, there are three astronauts, looking at the earth, because they are on a mission, so they can't be reunited with their families.
This year is the 24th year of the establishment of the continental astronaut brigade, for all astronauts, January 5, 1998 is of great historical significance, that day is the big day of the establishment of the Chinese astronaut brigade, we selected 14 astronauts from more than 1,500 elite pilots to form the mainland astronaut brigade. The astronaut brigade was established, but because the mainland had not carried out manned space missions before and had no training experience for astronauts, how these 14 astronauts should develop, how to train, and how to complete their tasks was the first problem that the mainland should solve at that time.
At this moment, Shen Xingyun stood up. Who is Sun Shen Xingyun? Many people don't know much, today we will first introduce him.
Shen Xingyun is a native of Henan, in fact, since 1996, Shen Xingyun has begun to take over the relevant tasks of the mainland's manned space industry, such as selecting and training astronauts and forming astronaut brigades. Since 1998, Shen Xingyun has served as the first captain of the Continental Astronaut Brigade.
Because there is no experience to learn from before, so the work of Captain Shen Xingyun is very difficult, after continuous research and exploration, finally he from the safety, learning, training and other aspects, formulated a plan, under his organization and leadership, the mainland astronauts successfully completed training, in 2003, astronaut Yang Liwei successfully boarded space, creating a Chinese space myth, after that, Shenzhou VI, Shenzhou VII missions were also successfully completed under the leadership of Captain Shen. In 2009, Captain Shen was 57 years old, and he successfully completed the task and handed the baton in his hand to Fei Junlong.
The captains of the mainland astronaut brigade were successively Shen Xingyun, Fei Junlong, Nie Haisheng, and Jing Haipeng, of which Shen Xingyun was the only captain who had not been in space, but in a sense, his merits were not lost to Yang Liwei, who was the founder and leader of China's aerospace industry worthy of the name. Because of this, he was awarded the rank of colonel and enjoyed the treatment of the regular army. Do you think That Shen Xingyun has this qualification?
