Recently, the three astronaut crews of the Shenzhou-18 manned mission made a collective appearance at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and officially announced their identity information.
The three astronauts are Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, all of whom were born in the 80s of the last century, and can be said to be China's first batch of "post-80s" astronauts. This also indicates that China's aerospace industry is entering a new stage of development from the older generation to the new generation.
The three astronauts who appeared this time are all from military backgrounds, and they are from the army and air force systems. Among them, Ye Guangfu has carried out the Shenzhou 13 manned flight mission, and is the "veteran" of the crew, serving as the commander; Li Cong and Li Guangsu are both "newcomers" selected as Chinese astronauts in 2020, which is also their first space mission.
Take a look at the personal information of the three astronauts, they all have the discipline and execution of soldiers.
Ye Guangfu was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in 1980, enlisted in the army in 1998, and was the director of air combat shooting of a regiment of the Air Force, and is an amateur calligraphy enthusiast. In 2010, he was selected as a Chinese astronaut, and in 2021, he carried out the Shenzhou-13 mission and won the honorary title of "Heroic Astronaut". After a comprehensive evaluation, he was selected into the Shenzhou 18 crew and served as the commander.
Li Cong was born in Handan, Hebei Province in 1989, enlisted in the army in 2009, and served as the deputy captain of a brigade of the Air Force. In 2020, he was selected as a Chinese astronaut, which was his first space mission.
Li Guangsu was born in Pei County, Jiangsu Province in 1987, enlisted in the army in 2006, and also served as the deputy captain of a brigade of the Air Force. In 2020, he was selected as a Chinese astronaut, which was also the first space mission.
It can be seen that these three astronauts have all held important positions in the military, have solid professional backgrounds, and have rich combat experience in the Air Force, which has laid a solid foundation for their space missions. At the same time, they also represent the result of the growth and expansion of outstanding talents in the Chinese Air Force.
What's even more gratifying is that these post-80s astronauts are in the golden age of their professional careers, and their professional skills and experience are maturing day by day, and they are in the best state of space exploration. It is foreseeable that in the future, they will undertake more important space missions and continue to create brilliance for China's aerospace industry.
Ye Guangfu once completed the Shenzhou 13 mission, which accumulated valuable flying experience for him. Many experts analyzed that he served as the commander this time, hoping that his experience could play an exemplary role for the two "newcomers". This also shows that China attaches great importance to the inheritance of experience and teamwork, which provides a reliable guarantee for training more astronauts in the future.
At present, China's aerospace industry is in an important transition period, shifting from "catch-up" development to independent innovation and application-driven. This requires a large number of young and energetic high-quality professionals to devote themselves to space exploration, and integrate passion and wisdom into space exploration.
Therefore, the rise of this group of post-80s astronauts indicates that China's aerospace industry is ushering in a new round of development opportunities for quality upgrading. They can learn from the experience of their predecessors and are full of youthful vitality, and will undoubtedly make great contributions to the construction of China's space station and deep space exploration.
Looking forward to the future, we have reason to believe that China's dream of becoming a space power will become a reality in the relay struggle of this new force. The official appearance of this group of post-80s astronauts also allowed the Chinese people to see the vigorous and upward scene of the Chinese space station era. They will work together to create the space glory belonging to the Chinese in the new era!
