On April 24, according to CCTV news, the mission headquarters of the space station application and development stage decided that the astronaut crew of the Shenzhou 18 manned mission was composed of three astronauts, Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, with Ye Guangfu as the commander, and all three of them were "post-80s".
According to the report, Li Guangsu, the crew of the Shen 18 Crew, was born in Pei County, Jiangsu Province in 1987, and he was an Air Force pilot with an 11-year flying career.
In 2005, for Li Guangsu, who was in high school, it was his dream to become an Air Force pilot and soar into the blue sky to defend the motherland. After strict selection, Li Guangsu was admitted to the Air Force Aviation University and joined the team of flight cadets.
"I used to fly a domestic three-and-a-half-generation aircraft, and I flew a lot of missions, and I think those are precious treasures in life. Li Guangsu said.
In May 2018, the mainland launched the selection of the third batch of astronauts, which was full of excitement and challenges for Li Guangsu, who met the requirements. In September 2020, after layers of selection, Li Guangsu stood out from many pilots who signed up and became one of the third batch of astronauts in the mainland.
Talking about the first reaction of the selected astronauts, Li Guangsu said that there was a feeling of unreality, "I was quite surprised, it felt a little unreal, and I repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed passed and I got my wish." ”
From pilots to astronauts, with the change of status comes all kinds of pressures. "When I was learning the theory of modified models, there was a passing mark, but no one said how much more than I passed, or how many points or more I could get to meet the standard. Everyone is rushing to take the test with 100 points, and if they can score 100 points, they will not take the test with 99 points. Li Guangsu said that in addition to the study of basic theories, the training of swivel chairs is also a test for him. "After becoming an astronaut, these movements are a must-practice subject, and you have to go through these stages, so you can only endure and adapt yourself to it through rotation after rotation again and again. ”
According to the astronaut training program, the third batch of astronauts carried out more than 100 training in eight categories, from the body to the will of the temper, from the external force to the improvement of professional knowledge, Li Guangsu completed the systematic study and training, and was selected into the Shenzhou 18 crew together with Ye Guangfu and Li Cong.

Li Guangsu said, "After basic theory, professional theory, and professional training in all aspects, it can be said that the foundation has been laid relatively firmly." Coupled with the running-in training of the entire crew, the confidence to perform the mission is also becoming more and more sufficient. Our training has worked well and we have a good understanding of each other. ”
About to embark on the journey, Li Guangsu said: "I used to be a pilot with 11 years of flying career, and I have also had my footprints in the sky of the motherland. Whether it is a pilot or an astronaut, they are all contributing to the country. I want to see what kind of scene the starry sky looks like after leaving the atmosphere, and I must be looking forward to it more when I get out of the capsule, and I should have a feeling that the sky is high and the birds are flying, and I will follow the space station outside the capsule to welcome the sunrise and sunset. Looking at the earth under our feet, turning in circles and circles, it should be a very wonderful scene. ”
