On November 28, 2022, Dongfeng Aerospace City.
Astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu formed the flight crew of Shenzhou 15, relaying the last stick of the manned flight mission during the construction phase of the space station, sprinting towards the end of the construction of the space station.
Fei Junlong——
Fly to the sky without changing your original intention
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center manned space launch site, in this familiar place, 17 years ago, Fei Junlong and his comrade-in-arms Nie Haisheng set off on the snow, flying 77 times around the earth, which lasted 115 hours and 32 minutes, with a total journey of 3.25 million kilometers... …
17 years later, Dongfeng Aerospace City ushered in another heroic expedition with a snowstorm.
Fei Junlong was still energetic and full of energy, but his black hair was dyed quietly before leaving.
From a super pilot to a super astronaut, the general who is over half a century old once again served as the commander and went to space.
On Fei Junlong, despite the increase in gray hair, his physical indicators remained excellent, and his weight did not fluctuate more than 1 catties.
In his heart, the belief in going back to space never wavered.
For 17 years, Fei Junlong has insisted on self-discipline and management, and has never stopped training.
During his part-time management position, he also often used evenings and weekends for additional training.
With the arrival of the space station mission, Fei Junlong actively prepares for the battle and is selected as the crew of Shenzhou 15.
The space station mission requires a lot of learning and training. Fei Junlong reviews the course of the day until 12 o'clock every night, and gets up at 5:30 the next morning to preview the new course.
Rigorous and meticulous is Fei Junlong's first impression.
In mission training, he is always meticulous and makes every movement in place.
For example, when installing parts, he takes out a small accessory from the bag, closes the bag, fixes the bag, takes another one, and closes it again.
He said that if the bag is not closed in space, the accessories will float out, and if it gets into the equipment in the cabin, it may bring safety hazards, and every step must be strictly followed in the real space environment on the ground.
The four manned flight missions during the construction phase of the space station are like a 4×100-meter relay race, and the crew of Shenzhou 15 will make the last sprint.
If the task of building a space station is compared to building a house, the crew of Shenzhou 14 will complete the house, and the crew of Shenzhou 15 will complete the decoration and delivery, and the crew after that can "check in with their bags".
During the six months, they have to carry out several missions out of the cabin.
The extravehicular operation covers three compartments, and the longest path may have to crawl more than 100 meters, and it will be the first time to realize the delivery of cargo from the Mengtian capsule airlock.
For this reason, the crew of Shenzhou 15 currently spends the longest time preparing for the mission and has trained the most, with nearly 30 underwater trainings alone.
Today's "space home" is spacious and comfortable, and has various advanced equipment and instruments.
Fei Junlong is particularly looking forward to working and living in the Chinese space station, looking forward to successfully joining forces with the crew of Shenzhou 14 in space, and looking forward to getting out of the cabin and integrating into space.
Deng Qingming——
Struggle is not only for the realization of dreams
This is the third time Deng Qingming has appeared in Wentian Pavilion.
The difference is that this time, he made his debut as the "master".
He had waited 24 years and 10 months for this moment.
Among the first batch of 14 astronauts who joined the astronaut brigade side by side, 8 of them have realized their dreams of space, and 5 of them stopped flying and left the team. The team played a strong voice of the era of aerospace service to the country.
On January 5, 1998, Deng Qingming became the first batch of astronauts in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade.
After several years of hard study, the first batch of astronauts have all obtained the qualifications to perform manned spaceflight missions.
But at that time, China's manned spaceflight had just started, and due to mission density and conditions, there were very few opportunities to fly into the sky.
Deng Qingming, who had never performed a task before, took losing the election as a temper, and the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became.
"For so many years, I always think that on the road of pursuing dreams and struggling, you can stop to rest and think, but you must never give up." Deng Qingming said firmly.
Since entering the astronaut brigade at the age of 32, Deng Qingming has always strictly demanded himself according to the standard of "main role".
He cherishes every opportunity to be selected, and takes the initiative to increase the size of himself to increase the intensity and difficulty of training.
According to Zhang Lu, every time I train with him, what I hear Deng Qingming say the most is "Do it again!"
The upper robotic arm is a very difficult operation. The feet wear thick shoes and have no perception. The relative position is adjusted by the wrist mirror.
In this case, it is almost a "blind operation" to put the huge shoes into the several centimeters wide slot on the foot limiter, and the feeling is mainly formed after repeated training.
"Do it again!" At the end of the training course, Deng Qingming also asked to practice the upper robotic arm alone until he was proficient.
Deng Qingming said with emotion: "Thanks to this great era, to the development of the manned spaceflight industry, to the continuous struggle and overcoming difficulties of several generations of astronauts, which allowed us to have our own space station in space, and let me wait until the day when my dream came true." Chance!"
Zhang Lu——
Singing all the way to the nine heavens
46-year-old Zhang Lu will finally go to space after 12 years as an astronaut.
"Sweat is accompanied by loneliness and plainness, and I will still look up at the sky. That dream made me go forward." This is a song he wrote for himself, and it is also a true portrayal of his dream pursuit.
In May 2010, Zhang Lu and six other comrades entered the Chinese People's Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade.
At the entrance of the astronaut brigade, the eight characters "the interests of the motherland are above all else" came into view and were engraved in his heart since then.
Zhang Lu was deeply inspired by the spirit of seeing the first batch of astronauts train, train, and retrain for decades, and only do one thing in their lives.
In the circular simulated weightlessness tank, the astronauts wore hundreds of kilograms of underwater suits suspended in the deep blue water, and the divers assisted them.
This is the training with the longest training time and the most physical exertion for astronauts.
The underwater training suit is equivalent to a "human" spaceship. Zhang Lu stayed in the water for five or six hours at a time. His whole limbs were fixed in the underwater suit, and he could only grit his teeth if it hurt.
Every underwater training is a challenge to the physical limit.
In the past few years of preparing for the space station mission, Zhang Lu's crew has the longest ground training session and the widest coverage, and they have also fully adapted to each other.
Facing the task to be performed, Zhang Lu is full of confidence, "We are well prepared in terms of psychology, body and ability."
Zhang Lu still remembers that more than 20 years ago, facing the examiner's question: "Why did you give up your dream of being a singer and choose to be a pilot?"
He replied: "If I choose to be a singer, I will never have the opportunity to fly a plane soaring in the blue sky of the motherland. If I choose to be a pilot, I will sing proudly in the blue sky."
At that time, he did not expect that one day, he would be able to sing in space 400 kilometers above the earth.
