The vast space once again ushered in the figure of Chinese. On May 5, the Shenzhou 30 manned spacecraft was launched a complete success, and three Chinese astronauts successfully flew into the sky, including the 3-year-old university professor Gui Haichao who wore glasses. If it were not for the identity of an astronaut, he might just be a young teacher around us, but it is the participation of such a "person around us" that makes the netizens off the screen have a little more "sense of substitution" when watching this flight mission. He made many people feel: you can also go to space with glasses, and the "space dream" is closer to us ordinary people.
As a payload expert on Shenzhou 18, Gui Haichao is not only a leader among scholars in this specialty, but also has undergone rigorous training and assessment. Saying that he is a "person close to him" is compared to the astronauts who participated in manned missions in China in the past. Since Yang Liwei flew into the sky on Shenzhou 17, 18 astronauts in China have entered space on the Shenzhou spacecraft, including the well-known Zhai Zhigang, the first person to come out of China's space capsule, Jing Haipeng, an astronaut who flew four times, Liu Yang, the first female astronaut, Wang Yaping, the first space teacher, and so on. In this rank, the 16 astronauts are all from the Chinese People's Liberation Army astronaut brigade, and only Gui Haichao is a "supernumerary person"; Among the <> people, <> were pilots and "flew fighter jets", but Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao who flew into the sky this time were both scholars. Compared with the mysterious full-time astronauts in the military system, the profession of university professor is not far from us, "students can basically see if they want to see", "the circle of friends can like each other", Gui Haichao is in a sense one of the thousands of struggling young people around us.
This is why Gui Hai Chaofu attracted attention as soon as it appeared. The glasses on the bridge of his nose have also become the object of heated public opinion. This small detail not only makes many people believe that "you and I with glasses can also go to space", but also writes the most understandable footnote to the special significance of this mission.
He and Zhu Yangzhu made their debut as new members of China's astronaut team, allowing the two "jobs" of space flight engineers and payload experts to quickly enter the public eye, and also let more people know that our "space home", the Chinese space station, has entered the application and development stage. In the next 10 years or more, the Chinese space station will play the role of a national space laboratory to carry out large-scale space science experiments and applications. This requires the cooperation of aerospace pilots, space flight engineers, payload experts and other more diverse jobs. Taking this time as an example, aerospace pilot Jing Haipeng and aerospace engineer Zhu Yangzhu are mainly responsible for directly controlling and managing spacecraft, as well as carrying out related technical tests; Gui Haichao, a payload expert, is mainly responsible for the on-orbit operation of space science experiment payloads.
The selection criteria are naturally different depending on the task. For the job of load expert, low-degree myopia is possible, but his "long board" - scientific research ability must be very outstanding, in the words of netizens, "the brain must be particularly good". At that time, Gui Haichao was admitted to the aircraft design and engineering major of the School of Astronautics of Beihang University with the first place in the county science subject, and completed his doctoral degree from undergraduate in 9 years, and then went abroad to engage in postdoctoral research, and published nearly 20 SCI academic papers in top international journals, and served as a doctoral supervisor at the age of 31... Judging from his experience of "going all the way", he is also not ordinary. What awaits him in the space station will be a difficult scientific task. Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system of China's manned space project, mentioned that Shenzhou <> will become the crew with the most on-orbit experimental projects.
At present, if you want to become an astronaut, you still need to choose a thousand choices. Gui Haichao also stood out from about 2500,8 candidates after preliminary selection, reselection, and final selection and screening, and became China's first load expert; Later, he underwent rigorous training and assessment in 200 categories and more than <> subjects, and spent two years preparing for "going to heaven". But his story tells us that becoming an astronaut is no longer beyond the reach of ordinary people, excellent scientific research, superb engineering skills, and training can also achieve the dream of space.
In this sense, Gui Haichao's ability to enter space is a landmark event for China's manned space industry. After more than 30 years of development, Chinese thorny road to space has been jumped out by previous astronauts, and the "space business trip" is normalized later, and more curious young people are needed to join and explore the unknown universe together. At present, the fourth batch of reserve astronaut selection is still in progress, some netizens joked, please pay attention to those young scientific researchers around you who are not old but have dreams, if you can't see him for a while, he may have gone to participate in astronaut training, a year or two later, you may be able to see him in the Chinese space station 400 kilometers away from the earth.
