This year marks the 20th anniversary of the success of the continent's first manned mission. On October 15, 2003, Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei entered space for the first time on the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft, realizing the Chinese nation's dream of flying into the sky. In the past 20 years, the mainland's manned space industry has made brilliant achievements, the Chinese space station has been built, and a large number of astronauts have successively entered the space station.
Combing public reports can see that in the mission of building and operating the Chinese space station, many Chinese astronauts have left wonderful words, which not only represent the personal thoughts of astronauts, but also reflect every progress and vision of China's manned spaceflight in the past 20 years. On such a memorable day as today, Upstream News collated it.
Shenzhou V
Chinese astronauts went into space for the first time.
Yang Liwei:
"The peaceful use of space for the benefit of all mankind."
On October 15, 2003, astronaut Yang Liwei went to space with the Shenzhou 5 manned spacecraft, which was the first manned space flight on the mainland. After 590 seconds of rocket flight, astronaut Yang Liwei broke free from Earth's gravity, and the vast space welcomed the first Chinese visitor. In space, Yang Liwei displayed the flag of the People's Republic of China and the United Nations on board the spacecraft, and said in both Chinese and English: "Peaceful use of space for the benefit of all mankind." ”
On October 16, 2003, the Shenzhou-5 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the main landing site of Siziwangqi in Inner Mongolia, and Yang Liwei was safe and triumphant. So far, the continent has become the third country in the world to independently master manned space technology.
Shenzhou VII
Chinese astronauts achieved spacewalks for the first time.
Zhai Zhigang:
"Shenzhou 7 reports, I have been out of the cabin and feel good."
On September 25, 2008, astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng flew into space on Shenzhou 7, and Zhai Zhigang successfully implemented the mainland's first space out-of-cabin activity, taking the first step of walking outside the Chinese cabin, and this mission broke through and mastered the technology of space out-of-cabin activity.
Shenzhou X
China's first "space teaching".
Wang Yaping:
"I am Wang Yaping, and I am the main lecture for this lecture."
On June 20, 2013, Shenzhou 10 astronaut Wang Yaping conducted the first space lecture with the assistance of Nie Haisheng and Zhang Xiaoguang, and the three astronauts carried out mass measurement, pendulum motion, gyroscopic motion, making water films and water balloons and other experiments, so that the majority of primary and secondary school students understood the characteristics of object motion under microgravity conditions, the role of liquid surface tension, and deepened students' understanding of basic physical concepts such as mass, weight and Newton's laws.
Shenzhou XII
The Chinese space station welcomed the first batch of "occupants".
Nie Haisheng:
"We Chinese astronauts have a long-term home in orbit in space."
On June 17, 2021, the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft was launched and docked with the Tianhe core module to form a combination, and astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo entered the core module successively, which is the first time that Chinese stationed on its own space station. After three months in orbit, Shen XII returned to the Dongfeng landing site on September 17. This is the first time that the Shenzhou spacecraft has landed at the Dongfeng landing site, improving the adaptability and reliability of manned spacecraft return.
Shenzhou XIV
Chinese astronauts entered the scientific experiment module in orbit for the first time.
Chen Dong:
"Dream the sky, ask the sky, the dream of the heavenly palace is fulfilled."
Liu Yang:
"The Chinese space station, the common space home of all mankind."
According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on June 5, 2022, and subsequently docked with the Tianhe core module to form a combination. During the 6-month stay in orbit, the three astronauts have successively carried out three out-of-cabin activities, completed the installation and commissioning of equipment inside and outside the space station and related facilities and equipment related to space application tasks, carried out a series of space science experiments and technical experiments, welcomed the visit of 2 space station modules, 1 manned spacecraft and 1 cargo spacecraft in orbit, completed the assembly and construction of the basic configuration of the Chinese space station "T" with the ground, and completed the on-orbit handover shift with the Shenzhou 15 astronauts for the first time. It witnessed many historic moments such as the world record for the fastest rendezvous and docking between cargo spacecraft and the space station, and took advantage of the gap between missions to conduct one "Tiangong Classroom" space lecture, as well as a series of unique popular science education and cultural dissemination activities.
Shenzhou XVI
The first manned mission after the full completion of the Chinese space station.
Jing Haipeng:
"Welcome to Tiangong Classroom."
On the afternoon of September 21 this year, the Shenzhou 16 astronaut crew Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao carried out the fourth lecture of "Tiangong Classroom" on the Chinese Space Station, and wonderful experimental projects such as spherical flames, wonderful "ping pong balls" and conservation of momentum once again opened the fantasy journey of space knowledge of primary and secondary school students across the country on this day of special significance to China's space spaceflight.
According to statistics, from Shenzhou 5 in 2003 to Shenzhou 16, which is still performing missions in space, 18 astronauts have visited space. From the vast space to welcome the first Chinese visitor to today, in the past 20 years, China's manned space project has gone from the end of the "first step" to the full completion of the "three-step" strategy, and the space station has also opened a new stage of normal operation.
