In 2021, China's aerospace achievements have attracted worldwide attention. From the "Tianwen" boarding fire, "Zhu Rong" inspection to the "Xihe" exploration day, from the first female astronaut Wang Yaping to "Beijing understand", to countless silently paid astronauts, never stopped the pace of exploration... At the same time, "You Are My Glory" pays tribute to the aerospace dream and detonates the whole network, and the topic of space has become a hot topic for the public. On January 25, Tencent Video and Science and Technology Daily jointly launched the "Shining Space Year" series of activities, inviting six experts to jointly create an open space knowledge class, showing the process of human beings dreaming of space in multiple dimensions and leading young people to understand the spirit of spaceflight.
It is reported that this knowledge open class unveils the mystery of the vast space for everyone from a professional and diversified perspective. Pang Zhihao, chief scientific communication expert of national space exploration technology and member of China's first space teaching expert group, and Yang Yuguang, vice chairman of the Space Transport Committee of the International Astronautical Federation, talked about the efforts of generations of astronauts behind the highlights of the space industry from space technology to the space station. Zhu Jin, a researcher at the Beijing Planetarium and editor-in-chief of "Astronomy Enthusiast" magazine, focused on sharing the observation and shooting of China's "Tiangong" space station to help ordinary people better dream of the stars.
In addition to the popularization of science in aerospace and astronomical technology, this open class also pays attention to the endless imagination and curiosity of human beings about the sea of stars. Hao Jingfang, science fiction writer, winner of the 74th Hugo Science Fiction Awards and founder of Tongxing Academy, set off from space exploration to bring a journey of science fiction brain holes. Wu Jingping, a member of the Scientific Voice Organization and creator of Tencent Video Knowledge, revolves around manned spaceflight and reveals the extraordinary life of astronauts. Liu Qian, a researcher at the Beijing Planetarium and a popular science writer, also took the mysterious planetary exploration as the topic to open up the audience's curiosity.
Focusing on the wonderful Chinese aerospace technology, Pang Zhihao introduced the development of continental space technology from four important aerospace fields such as carrier rockets and artificial satellites, and also combined with case stories such as early aerospace workers wearing sandals in the cold storage of "frozen pork" to conduct low-temperature tests, showing the spirit of astronauts who are not afraid of hardship.
Yang Yuguang believes that the space station will play a more important role in the process of human exploration of space, and he systematically introduced the development process of the space station at home and abroad. For the future development of the space station, he is full of confidence, imagining that the future may be able to carry out novel and exciting "space tourism" to meet the ideal of human beings to appreciate the beautiful space scenery.
As a senior astronomical observation enthusiast, Zhu Jin in the class for the current more and more people pay attention to the space station observation strategy, especially showed how to use SLR, mobile phone and other equipment with artificial celestial transit forecast mini program, easy to shoot artificial objects such as the Chinese space station.
If hardcore technology is the foundation of dreams, then science fiction is where many people's dreams begin. Hao Jingfang starts from the space exploration means that break through the imagination in science fiction works, and opens up the audience's imagination space through nuclear fusion engines, solar sails, curvature engine spaceships, magnetic field funnels, and time and space travel that often appear in science fiction works. In her view, science fiction stimulates the imagination and leads mankind to the sea of stars in the future.
With the slow march of the Mars rover "Zhu Rong", the unknown and mystery of planetary exploration continue to attract public attention. Focusing on planetary science, Liu Qian used Mars exploration as an example to analyze the radiation, medical and other issues that humans will face when they go to Mars. She said the findings from other planets will help humans better understand Earth's past and future.
Wu Jingping described in detail the development process of manned spaceflight at home and abroad, the quality requirements and responsibilities of popular science astronauts. In view of the recent hot "space tourism", he also stressed that with the maturity of space technology, it is necessary to wait for the popularization of manned spacecraft.
Through vivid cases, several teachers have made a good balance between interest and knowledge concentration, guiding young people to weave space dreams with exploration, curiosity and imagination.
This year is the first time that Chinese astronauts have spent the New Year in space, which is of great significance. When it comes to choosing an item to take into space, Yang Yuguang and Zhu Jin choose a SLR camera, hoping to capture the beautiful scenery of the earth, and Hao Jingfang wants to carry headphones and is eager to feel the magnificent symphony in space. In addition to the items, Hao Jingfang and Liu Qian said that they also wanted to take the four treasures of the study room to "go to heaven" and wanted to experience writing the Spring Festival league in space and let the traditional Chinese customs go further.
