In Hainan in September, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. At 7:00 a.m., in the Tongguling measurement and control area, the post personnel were nervously and orderly inspecting the working status of equipment and facilities, checking the setting of task parameters, drilling and tracking the measurement process, and inspecting the data receipt and sending. "Our mission is to capture the rocket in a timely and accurate manner during the rocket flight, obtain the rocket flight status data, and provide effective data support for the command post to interpret the state of the star and arrow combination." Shao Dongxu, head of telemetry equipment, said.

The aerospace industry is a cause of a thousand people with one flag and a gun for ten thousand people, involving a complex system, many links that need to be checked, and a small problem may cause irreparable losses. Aerospace measurement and control work, which undertakes the task of providing accurate data support for rocket flight and safely escorting rockets to the predetermined orbit one after another, must undergo multiple joint test and joint commissioning inspections, fully identify risks, strictly control quality, and be strict and meticulous and foolproof.

This year, China's space launch missions have set a record again, and the annual launch volume will reach more than 40 times. Liu Yan, a staff member of the Planning Department of the center, said: "In order to overcome the adverse impact of continuous operations and pressure-bearing operations on post personnel, equipment and facilities, we have continuously strengthened key technical research in recent years, optimized operational processes, strengthened personnel actual combat training, and scientifically maintained equipment. Rationally arrange personnel to set posts, innovate training methods, and use opportunities such as satellite normalization management and space station tracking to improve the comprehensive quality of technical personnel and the ability to complete tasks. ”
It is reported that after the completion of the task, the center quickly changed its state and urgently threw itself into the next mission drill.
