preface
Wang Yaping is the second female astronaut in China and the first female astronaut in China to perform out-of-cabin activities.
Her identity and achievements have attracted widespread attention and praise at home and abroad. So, what does Wang Yaping mean for space exploration in China and mankind?
How is her life in space guaranteed?
A pioneer in space exploration
Wang Yaping, the second female astronaut in China, was a former Air Force pilot.
Born in January 1980 in Yantai, Shandong, she was admitted to Changchun Flight Academy in 1997 and became an astronaut in 2010. She has a wealth of flying experience and honors.
Wang Yaping is China's second female astronaut and the first post-80s flying astronaut.
She entered space on Shenzhou 10 in June 2013, stationed in Tiangong-1 with Nie Haisheng and Zhang Xiaoguang, and conducted China's first space lecture.
She lectured on space science to students across the country and received a reply from American astronauts.
On June 26, she returned safely to Earth and was awarded the title of "Heroic Astronaut" and the "Medal of Aerospace Merit of the Third Degree".
Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, entered space on Shenzhou 13 in October 2021 and began China's first long-term space station stay.
She and two other astronauts successfully stationed in the sky and core module, and carried out the construction and maintenance of the space station.
She also completed China's first women's out-of-cabin event, making history for national and human space exploration.
As the first female astronaut in China to walk out of the hatch, Wang Yaping has conducted research and experiments on many projects with Zhai Zhigang.
They fitted the robot with booms and joints and tested the operation in the cabin.
She also taught twice on the space station, showcasing space science and life to students across the country. She also answered questions from American students.
Wang Yaping is China's first female astronaut to "fly" twice, and she flew in space with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu for 182 days and 9 hours, setting the longest record for Chinese astronauts.
She was also the longest Chinese astronaut in orbit at the time, accumulating 197 days. She successfully returned to the ground on April 16, 2022. This record was subsequently broken by Chen Dong.
Wang Yaping is China's second female astronaut and a leading figure in space exploration and education.
She demonstrated the courage of women and contributed to the space cause of the country and mankind.
She is engaged in the experimentation and teaching of aerospace technology and promotes the development of aerospace science.
At the same time, she is also the first female astronaut in China to go out of space, contributing to the construction of the Chinese space station.
Guarantor of life in space
Wang Yaping's life in space is not easy, and she faces various challenges and risks. In order to ensure her safety and health, the state and relevant departments have made multifaceted efforts.
First of all, before the mission, Wang Yaping underwent strict training and inspection.
She must not only master the operation and maintenance of spacecraft, space station, robotic arm and other equipment, but also learn various emergency handling methods and procedures.
She also undergoes various physical, psychological, medical and other tests to ensure that she can adapt to the space environment.
Secondly, during the flight mission, Wang Yaping enjoyed the treatment of a second-class guard.
This means that she has a dedicated bodyguard to protect her, whether at the launch site, return site or elsewhere, there is a dedicated person responsible for her safety.
She also has a dedicated medical team to keep an eye on her physical condition and provide the necessary treatment and care.
Again, after the flight mission, Wang Yaping received medical isolation and rehabilitation.
Due to her long-term life in space, she may experience problems such as bone loss, muscle atrophy, and decreased immunity.
Therefore, she needs to be observed and recovered for a period of time in a professional institution, as well as various examinations and treatments.
Experiencers of space life
Wang Yaping's life in space not only has strict guarantees, but also has rich experience. She not only completed various scientific experiments and technical tasks, but also enjoyed the beauty and fun of space.
In space, Wang Yaping participated in a number of scientific experiments, involving physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and other fields.
She also used robotic arms to carry out extravehicular operations and provided technical support for the construction and maintenance of the space station.
She also maintained close communication and collaboration with the ground command center and other astronauts to jointly respond to various emergencies and challenges.
In space, Wang Yaping also enjoyed the beauty and fun in space. She watched the sunrise and sunset of the earth through the cabin window and felt the magnificence and color of the earth.
She also saw celestial bodies such as the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter, and experienced the vastness and mystery of space.
She also carried out various fun activities in the microgravity environment, such as floating, tumbling, tossing, etc., showing the ease and joy in space.
Wang Yaping's life in space is a special experience, she has not only contributed to the space exploration of the country and mankind, but also set an example for herself and society in space education.
She is an experiencer of space life and a communicator of space life.
The apocalypse of space exploration
Wang Yaping aspired to become a pilot since she was a child, and she overcame various difficulties and challenges to achieve her dream through her own efforts and talents.
Not satisfied with this, she signed up for the astronaut selection again, became China's second female astronaut, and went into space twice.
She proved with her actions that women are not inferior to men and can also play an important role in the field of space.
