Spring Festival, a time for families to gather. They are in the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Frontier, they are supporting the Heavenly Palace, they are 2400 meters underground, they are in the ice-covered Antarctic... It seems that they are in such a different environment, they are far away from their relatives, they give up their small homes for everyone, they are determined, and their mission will be achieved. And deep down, they also have the same concerns as us, and have the same expectations and blessings as us.
A video from the "Science and Technology Daily" WeChat public account on the second day of the Chinese New Year recorded the different Spring Festival of science and technology workers around the world sticking to their posts.

This year's Spring Festival is the first time that Chinese astronauts have spent the New Year in space, and in the Chinese space station 400 kilometers away from the earth, the space travel trio has been in orbit for three and a half months. On the ground, the staff of the Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center are silently guarding the astronauts in the sky.

"Chinese New Year's Eve on duty here to guard the satellite." On this year's space station, there are three astronauts in the sky in the New Year, and people's lives are at stake, so our management requirements and disposal requirements are even higher. Wei Jun, senior engineer of Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center, said.
"For our measurement and control people, it is normal to often not see each other with our families for the New Year, and we also use the gap between tasks to report to our families by telephone and video." Wei Jun said. Wang Dan, a senior engineer at the Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center, also expressed his concern for his family: "During the Spring Festival, I miss my parents the most, because they are almost 70 years old. ”
Although he misses his family, the measurement and control personnel still stick to their posts and work steadily. "As long as the stars in the sky don't stop rotating, our ground measurement and control support can't stop for a moment." I must be in line with the strict and meticulous work style of the astronauts, and conscientiously stand on every shift. Ren Kaiqiang, assistant researcher of Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center, said.
On the new generation of space-going survey ship Yuanwang 7, the crew is sticking to their dreams in the Wanli Sea Frontier. Lu Zhongju, head of the monitoring system of the Yuanwang No. 7 ship, said: "We carefully monitor and control, wait for strict formation, and provide strong measurement and control support for the accurate entry of satellites into orbit. ”

As the mainland's latest generation of aerospace ocean survey ships, the Yuanwang No. 7 ship is the absolute main force in the mainland's maritime measurement and control network, and last year the ship sailed for more than 100 days. According to the overall plan of this year's space launch mission, the Yuanwang 7 ship will continue to maintain a high-density and difficult mission posture, and the sea operation time this year is expected to exceed 150 days.
At 2400 meters underground, the scientific and technological workers of China's Jinping Underground Laboratory are also sticking to their posts, and they send New Year greetings to everyone in the form of videos.
