"I am Shenzhou XIII, I have landed safely, the return capsule is upright, and 01 feels good." "02 Feel good." "03 Feel good." On April 16, astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu ended their 6-month space stay and successfully returned to earth.

Since the Shenzhou 13 flight crew first came out to perform the "Feel Good" trio, the four words "Feel Good" have become synonymous with them. On this return, from the time the spacecraft returned to brake to the successful landing, the astronauts repeatedly said "feel good" during the return.
This "feeling good" is a feeling of being "down-to-earth" again after half a year. When the return capsule crossed the "black barrier area", Ye Guangfu sighed, "I haven't felt the feeling of gravity for a long time." ”
"Feeling good" comes from more and more mature return techniques and experiences. For the first time, the Shenzhou 13 spacecraft implemented a 5-lap rapid return program, which greatly shortened the astronauts' "journey home" and reduced the "boat-car fatigue".
What is even more gratifying is that this landing is the first time since the return of the Shenzhou VI spacecraft in 2005 that the Return Capsule of the Shenzhou Spacecraft has achieved an upright landing, which is more conducive to gravity re-adaptation after the astronauts return to the ground. People also noticed an interesting picture, just after the return capsule landed, a camel "idly strolled" past the neighborhood, "witnessing" the historical moment when the return capsule was "properly settled".

In fact, it is not easy to achieve an upright landing of the return module. Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space engineering, pointed out that the return module can land upright, indicating that the impact overload of the landing is not particularly large. In addition, according to the scene picture, the wind at the landing site is not small, which requires the astronaut to manually cut the umbrella very quickly.
"Feeling good" is also reflected in the relaxed conversation between the astronauts in the return capsule and the smiles on their faces when leaving the capsule. After the three astronauts reached out of the hatch, they did not forget to smile and wave to the surrounding crowd, and Ye Guangfu still sat on the seat and kept praising "Bixin".
Zhai Zhigang, China's most-visited astronaut, still said the phrase "feels very good"; Wang Yaping, the holder of China's cumulative orbital record, told his daughter in front of the camera, "The mother who 'picked the stars' is back"; Ye Guangfu, who completed his flying debut, said that "at this moment I have realized my dream of flying".
In addition, "feeling good" is also inseparable from the warm arrangement of the ground staff. Tens of meters away from the landing point of the return capsule, three medical supervision and medical insurance vehicles were parked. Different from the return of Shenzhou 12 astronauts to share a helicopter, this return, the ground staff to use new equipment, for the astronauts each equipped with a twelve-square-meter large medical supervision and medical insurance vehicle, not only more spacious space, microwave oven, toilet and other equipment are also readily available, can better meet the needs of astronauts after returning to the ground.
China has always had the custom of "getting on the car dumplings and getting off the noodles", and the first meal after the astronauts "go home" is also indispensable to the hot noodles. In order to "pick up the wind and wash the dust" for the three astronauts, the ground staff prepared about 20 home-cooked dishes, and carried out reasonable nutritional combinations and personalized customization, including noodles, steamed buns, millet porridge, vinegar boiled potato shreds, vinegar boiled cabbage, scrambled eggs with green onions, kelp shreds, squeezed vegetables, Sichuan flavored sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, yogurt...
The autumn breeze is cool when you leave, and when you return home, the spring breeze fills the garden. Behind the "feeling good" of the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew is the more mature return technology, more perfect medical protection and more meticulous experience inheritance of China Aerospace.
With the return of the Shenzhou 13 astronauts, the Chinese space station is about to enter the construction stage, and the "Space House" is also waiting for the arrival of new "residents". In 2022, China will also send 6 astronauts to the space station and realize the on-orbit rotation of flight crews, and the diary of the Chinese "Tiangong" will continue to be updated. (End)
