China News Service, Jiuquan, October 16 (Mar Shuaisha Guo Chaokai) On October 16, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth Academy) was successfully launched in Jiuquan and carried With three astronauts rushed to the space station's sky and core module, officially embarked on a six-month space journey.
"Please rest assured that we have completed the final assembly of the spacecraft with high quality. I wish you all the best and complete the mission successfully and triumphantly." One and a half hours before the launch, Shenzhou spacecraft from the General Assembly and Environmental Engineering Department of the Fifth Academy The team successfully completed the task of closing the door and sent blessings to the astronauts.
This team is led by Zhang Ge, the head of the Shenzhou spacecraft assembly team. The previous Shenzhou XII spacecraft was led by Zhang Ge to close the cabin door.
Now generations of assemblers have come to the fore. This time, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft will be closed by Jia Haili, Zhang Bo, and Zhang Liang. They will guard the inside and outside of the spacecraft’s door and help people who are wearing space suits. The astronauts with limited mobility successfully entered the cabin and sent their blessings to the astronauts.
After that, they closed the door methodically, and skillfully put the door key safety rope on their wrists, and then locked the door with the key; then the leak detection personnel performed leak detection on the door to ensure the spacecraft’s door to life. Safely shut down.
This procedure may seem simple, but it is of great significance. Every operation of the "door-closer" is directly related to the safety of the astronauts.
"Seeing the smoke and dust flying in the west of Jinshan, the general of the Han family went to the west." Zhang Ge and his team were silently carrying out the launch mission of the Shenzhou spacecraft in the northwest Gobi.
As the fifth-generation team leader, he is determined to continue to pass on the Shenzhou final assembly culture and meticulously crafted flying weapons.
"Politics is of great significance and human lives are at stake" is a special label for manned spaceflight.
"Taking the country as the top priority and taking the career as one's own responsibility" is the collective belief of the team. Zhang Ge is well aware of the meaning of these two sentences, so he always takes the lead, sets an example, and uses practical actions to implement the spirit of manned spaceflight.
The operation of closing the cabin door is particularly important as the last process before the launch of the spacecraft.
In order to ensure the safe entry of the astronauts into the cabin, the door-closing trio, led by Zhang Ge, carefully sorted out and confirmed the cables, heat insulation quilts and directly affiliated parts of the astronaut’s entry channel during the preparations before the astronauts’ formal entry. Carefully sort out and identify risks, and repeatedly conduct pre-plan drills and simulation operations to ensure that the mission is foolproof.
Since the successful launch of the Shenzhou V manned spacecraft in 2003, this spacecraft "gatekeeper" team, which bid farewell to the astronauts last, has escorted the Chinese astronauts into the capsule safely and out of space.
"Making the astronauts into the cabin more convenient and the riding experience more comfortable is the goal we have been pursuing." said Zhang Ge, who is the leader of the Shenzhou spacecraft assembly team.
