Tanks→ Fighter → God Seventeen Jiang Xinlin said that he is looking forward to going to space to feel the joy of weightlessness
Another "newcomer" in the Shenzhou 17 flight crew is Jiang Xinlin, who was born in 1988. Before being selected as the third batch of astronauts, he had driven tanks and fighter planes, and this time, he will go to the Chinese space station on Shenzhou 17 with Tang Hongbo and Tang Shengjie. Jiang Xinlin said that he is very much looking forward to going to space to feel the joy of weightlessness.
Jiang Xinlin, 35 years old this year, was born in Kaifeng, Henan, and looking back on his growth into an astronaut, Jiang Xinlin bluntly said that he was lucky.
Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: Speaking from my own point of view, I feel that I am very lucky, and I have indeed caught up with the good times. Originally, I drove tanks, I was fortunate to be able to become a pilot, and I was also lucky to be able to participate in the astronaut selection when flying, and I was able to come to this point.
In 2006, Jiang Xinlin was admitted to the Armored Forces Engineering College and became a tank driver.

Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: At that time, the driving stick of that tank was spring-assisted, and there was no hydraulic assistance. It is to require your arm to be strong, which is a bit similar to going out of the cabin now.
After graduating from university, Jiang Xinlin participated in the Air Force recruitment, from a tank driver driving the "Land Tiger" to a pilot flying the "Eagle" to soaring into the blue sky. After completing half a year of flight theory study at the Air Force Aviation University, Jiang Xinlin began to learn to fly, and flying a fighter over the clouds for the first time has made him unforgettable.

Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: In the process of flying, I felt that when I rushed through the clouds and saw that the vast clouds on the clouds were very flat, I felt that my heart and chest were suddenly very open, that is, the feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying was reflected at once. And when the sun shines, I feel particularly shocked.
During his 10-year flight career, Jiang Xinlin flew more than 1,000 hours safely and was rated as a first-class pilot of the Air Force. Being able to fly a fighter plane and guard the sea and sky of the motherland makes Jiang Xinlin proud. At the beginning of 2020, Jiang Xinlin, who was performing combat duty tasks, received the news of the selection of the third batch of astronauts.
Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: The brigade paid more attention to it, and asked the instructor to call me, and I signed up at that time.
Jiang Xinlin successfully passed the layers of screening of primary, re-examination and fixed selection, became one of the third batch of 7 aerospace pilots, and began systematic rigorous training.
Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: All our study and training subjects must be evaluated. It can be said that everything has to be examined, and the test is always in place, and the usual performance is also within the scope of the assessment. Therefore, the pressure on me to study is still relatively large.

In the process of transforming from a pilot to an astronaut, the high-intensity training made Jiang Xinlin feel pressure. In particular, vestibular function training is carried out to prevent the probability of space motion sickness and reduce the degree of symptoms of space motion sickness.
Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: When I first came, my grades were generalized, it should be at the second level, when the reaction was relatively strong, every training would have sweating, then dizziness, then nausea, every time was basically on the verge of vomiting, and then we usually practiced when we were fine, that is, constantly stimulating our vestibular function, now it is basically possible, that is, the reaction is not so strong, and it can also reach the level of the first level.
According to the plan, the Shenzhou 17 mission will continue to carry out space science experiments and technical experiments; Implement the task of cargo airlock cabin exit, and arrange astronaut out-of-cabin activities, patrol inspection and maintenance of extravehicular facilities and equipment. In view of the characteristics of the mission, the Shenzhou 17 crew also carried out training.

Jiang Xinlin said that driving a tank can experience a feeling of heaviness, driving an aircraft can feel the feeling of pushing the back, and for the upcoming six-month flight mission, he will experience the feeling of weightlessness.

Astronaut Jiang Xinlin: I am looking forward to it, I have to feel the fun of weightlessness in space, and I am looking forward to our beautiful planet in space and finding the great rivers and mountains of our motherland. What I look forward to the most is actually to be able to complete the task smoothly and do it well.
