On October 14, a press conference for the Shenzhou 13 manned mission was held at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
According to Lin Xiqiang, the spokesperson for China’s Manned Space Engineering and deputy director of the Office of China’s Manned Space Engineering, during the Shenzhou 10 mission, when astronaut Wang Yaping was teaching space, 60 million primary and middle school students across the country were in class on the ground, and the social response was huge; During the Shenzhou 12 flight mission, the "first lesson of school" the world-earth interactive link and the world-earth connection activities of "Looking up at the stars and talking to the heavens" have achieved good social effects.
Manned spaceflight is a space exploration activity with human participation, and the space station, as a national space laboratory, contains unique and extremely rich resources for popular science education, which is extremely attractive to citizens, especially young people.
The China Space Station is not only a research platform for global scientists to carry out space science, space technology, and space applications, but also a practical platform to encourage young people to love space, participate in exploration, and pursue science.
On the basis of summarizing and developing the useful experience of manned space science popularization, during the Shenzhou 13 mission, more diverse forms of popular science education activities were planned.
I believe that Wang Yaping will bring you the second lesson of "Teaching in Space" soon.
