  On the evening of November 29, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft carrying astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu lifted off through the "moon" and headed for the Chinese space station.

  At 20:18 on the 29th, the departure ceremony for the crew of the Shenzhou 15 manned mission was held at the Wentian Pavilion Yuanmengyuan Square of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu who performed this mission are known as the "Dream Realization Crew".

For this expedition to space, they have persisted for more than ten or even twenty years.

  In 2005, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng set off on the snow from Yuanmengyuan Square and became the second batch of Chinese visitors to the vast space. After 17 years, Fei Junlong flew to the sky again as the commander; Deng Qingming, who has been chasing his dream for 25 years, is the only one One of the first astronauts who has not performed a spaceflight mission but is still active; Zhang Lu is the last of the second batch of 7 astronauts to appear. He has been preparing for his dream of flying for 12 years.

  Today, the three astronauts finally embarked on this journey starting from Wentian Pavilion. With the cheers and blessings of people on both sides of the road, they went to the launch tower and started a 6-month journey of flying to realize their dreams.

  That night, the temperature at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was close to minus 20 degrees Celsius, but the atmosphere at the expedition ceremony was as high as ever, with loud singing and warm cheers.

  Just as excited as the farewell crowd on the ground were the astronauts residing on the space station.

The crew of Shenzhou 14 put on well-designed blue sweaters and recorded a warm and cheerful welcome video for the new crew.

On the front of the clothes are written "The old iron is coming", "The palace in the sky is waiting for you to come", "We will come back", and the words on the back together are the welcome words "Welcome to China's space homeland".

  After the three astronauts of Shenzhou 15 arrived at the launch tower, they entered the Shenzhou spacecraft one after another and waited for the rocket to take off.

At about 22:50, the launch tower was fully opened, and the Long March 2F carrier rocket stood on the flat ground, with a huge and bright crescent moon behind it.

  This is the first time that China has launched a manned spacecraft in late November. The previous 9 manned missions were launched, 4 in June, 1 in September, and 4 in October.

Facing the low-temperature environment close to minus 20 degrees Celsius for the first time, the development team provided the rocket with air-conditioning and air supply, and pasted an insulation layer on important parts to put on "cotton clothes" for the rocket in advance.

  At 23:08, the rocket ignited and took off on time, and lifted off through the "moon".

The real-time picture shows that the three astronauts in the spacecraft's return cabin have stable postures and calm expressions.

At this time, the astronauts of Shenzhou 14, who were waiting for their teammates to arrive at the space station, gathered in front of the screen to watch the live broadcast.

  Like the previous flight crews, the Shenzhou 15 crew also brought "private luggage" for this trip.

Calligraphy is the common hobby of the three astronauts. They often practice handwriting and communicate together on the ground. This time they flew to the sky and they brought rice paper brushes, and they will sway pen and ink in space.

In addition, Deng Qingming also brought photos of his family and his grandson's favorite toys, intending to use toys to interact with his grandson during the world call.

Zhang Lu, who likes to sing, revealed that he brought a karaoke microphone and harmonica.

  The three astronauts are looking forward to the upcoming space trip.

Fei Junlong once traveled in space on the Shenzhou-6 spacecraft for 5 days. He has been looking forward to going to a larger space station and having more time to appreciate the beautiful home of the earth.

Deng Qingming's daughter has now become a staff member of the ground command and control center. Deng Qingming said that it will be a kind of happiness for him to fly in the sky and his daughter to command on the ground.

Zhang Lu said that he would write "unswerving determination" and "never slack in doing" with a brush in space as a spur and encouragement to himself.

  The "Dream Realization Crew" finally flew into the sky to realize their dreams, and they will also witness another dream-fulfilling moment when the Chinese people's own space station is officially completed in space.
