Before the Shenzhou-5 mission, China's space science and technology team had gone through decades of accumulation and tempering. Since the establishment of the China Space Administration in 1956, China's space researchers have embarked on a daunting task: to turn China's space dream into reality. They faced challenges from technology, funding, international cooperation and other aspects, but they never gave up and moved firmly towards their goals.
Before Yang Liwei flew into space, China had already made a series of important advances in space science and technology. These include achievements in satellite launches, verification of manned space technology, and the construction of space laboratories. Despite many challenges, China's astronauts have overcome obstacles on the way forward step by step with tenacious perseverance and innovative spirit.
So, who is the person behind the scenes who signed to confirm the launch of the rocket?
In the history of China's aerospace industry, there are not only shining achievements and glorious milestones, but also countless unknown heroes and pioneers. These warriors, in the era of material scarcity and difficult conditions, silently dedicated, and silently contributed to the development of China's aerospace industry.
They may not be known to the public, but their contribution is not negligible. At that time, space rockets were still an unfamiliar term, and the development of aerospace science and technology was still an unattainable dream. However, it is these unknown scientific research workers and engineers who, with their tenacious perseverance and fearless spirit, have laid a solid foundation for the start of China's aerospace industry.
They don't have luxurious labs, they don't have advanced equipment, and they don't even have enough money to support them. But what they have is a passion for scientific exploration and a belief in the aerospace industry. On the basis of the knowledge borrowed from the Soviet Union, and with their own wisdom and efforts, they embarked on the arduous journey of independent research and development of space equipment.
In the face of various difficulties and challenges, they never flinch, but actively seek solutions and strive to overcome technical difficulties. They may not have the computer-aided tools to be automated, but they can organize small teams to solve problems together with the help of human calculations.
They went through countless trials and setbacks, but never gave up. Every failure is a valuable experience, and every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Their perseverance and indomitable spirit have ultimately created brilliant achievements in China's aerospace industry.
On April 24, 1970, China successfully launched the self-developed Dongfanghong satellite, which marked a new milestone in China's space industry. While this moment belongs to the whole country, it is worth remembering the unsung heroes who worked hard to make it happen. Their sweat and efforts have provided a steady stream of impetus for the take-off of China's aerospace industry, and their stories will forever be remembered in the annals of China's aerospace history. And Qi Fayun is one of them.
Qi Fayun is an aerospace hero who persistently pursues dreams and selflessly dedicates. Born in turbulent times, he witnessed the humiliation of his country and the suffering of his people, and these experiences deeply influenced his growth and life choices.
When he was young, China was in a period of frequent wars, but he had a heart that longed for the stars. He dreamed of emulating Zhou Enlai and studying hard for the prosperity and rise of his motherland. Although the environment did not allow him to receive a formal education, he did not give up his pursuit of knowledge, but continued to enrich himself through self-study.
In his heart, astronautics is a mysterious and great cause. By chance, he came across a book about the universe and was fascinated by it. He is determined to devote himself to the aerospace industry and contribute his own strength to the country's aerospace industry.
Qi Fayun's dream is not only a personal pursuit, but also a love for the prosperity of the motherland. He cherished his dreams, studied hard, and was finally admitted to Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which opened his aerospace career.
In his career, Qi Fayun has always adhered to the concept of serving the country and the people. He has participated in the research and development of major projects such as Dongfanghong Satellite and Shenzhou spacecraft, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's aerospace industry.
Despite his advanced age, he accepted the challenge without hesitation when the country needed him to devote himself to space again. He is well aware of the importance of the aerospace industry, and his responsible attitude towards the safety of astronauts has shown his responsibility and courage.
In the process of astronaut selection and training, in addition to the strict requirements for physical and psychological qualities, it is also necessary to take into account their personality characteristics and adaptability. Astronauts need to have excellent teamwork, decision-making and adaptability, qualities that are especially important in long-term space missions.
When selecting astronauts, we should not only pay attention to their professional skills and scientific literacy, but also pay attention to their character and team spirit. After all, living on the space station for long periods of time requires astronauts to have good interpersonal skills and a sense of teamwork to ensure the smooth progress of the mission.
The working life of an astronaut is very different from that of working on the ground. Inside the space station, they need to adapt to life and work in a weightless environment, which is a challenge for them, both physically and mentally. Therefore, it is important to select candidates who are adaptable to ensure that they can work safely and effectively in space.
In China, the criteria for selecting astronauts are very strict, and candidates need to pass a series of physical and psychological tests to ensure that they are sufficiently adaptable and able to withstand stress. This also reflects the pragmatic and steady attitude of China's aerospace industry, which attaches importance to the all-round quality and teamwork ability of astronauts.
In the journey of space exploration, every astronaut is a bright star, shining with courage and wisdom. They are not only users of manned spacecraft, but also bearers of dreams of exploring the universe.
Yang Liwei, a teenager with a dream of the universe, finally realized his dream of flying through firm will and unremitting efforts. In the selection and training of astronauts full of challenges and tests, he showed outstanding team spirit and courage to defy hardships and dangers, and became the pride of China's aerospace industry.
In the historic flight of Shenzhou 5, Yang Liwei demonstrated extraordinary flight technology and excellent adaptability, and made outstanding contributions to the development of China's aerospace industry. His story is an inspiration to countless people, calling on us to explore, to break through, to forge ahead, and to open up new horizons for the future.
Qi Fayun, as the chief designer of the Shenzhou series, his leadership and guidance enabled the Shenzhou series of spacecraft to overcome many difficulties in the design and construction process and achieve complete success. His persistent pursuit of the aerospace industry and his work attitude of striving for excellence have set an example for China's aerospace industry.
On the road of space exploration, we have welcomed Yang Liwei and Qi Fayun, whose stories inspire us and make us believe that as long as we persevere and move forward bravely, we will be able to fly higher and see farther. May we work together to explore the unknown and create a better tomorrow.
