Deng Qingming is the first astronaut selected and trained by China. He has repeatedly backed up the crew echelon. He believes that "it is better to be prepared than useless, and never be prepared". He studied and trained for 25 years and finally realized his dream.
Shenzhou XV mission will further assemble the space station assembly with the basic configuration of "T" in orbit, install the experimental cabinet and complete hundreds of space experimental projects. For the three people in the group, the task is heavy and arduous.
Deng Qingming, astronaut of Shenzhou XV: There is definitely pressure, but I think with the joint efforts of the three of us, with the great cooperation between heaven and earth and the support of the ground, this pressure is nothing. I still like to do challenging work, and life is wonderful because of struggle. That's what I'm saying.
1998 65438+ 10, Deng Qingming was selected as the first astronaut in China with more than ten years of fighter flight experience. The difference between heaven and earth is just one word, but the requirements for people are completely different. After hard training, he and 13 comrades all passed the examination and have the ability to independently carry out manned space missions.
Shenzhou XV astronaut Deng Qingming: Astronauts have two states, one is flying and the other is preparing to fly. This is our dream. Whether you fly or not, you are also a career and a deep participant in this mission. Never relax your requirements because you want to back up, because you are not fully prepared, and if you regret it, you are sorry for yourself and your country.
Shenzhou XI mission is Deng Qingming's closest dream. The day before the launch, he announced the crew list. He stopped at the tower again and failed to realize his dream.
Shenzhou XV astronaut Deng Qingming: I couldn't say a thousand words at that time. Haipeng happened to sit next to me. I turned and stood up and said a word to Haipeng. Haipeng, congratulations. I was in tears. Haipeng also said, thank you brother. We held it for a long time.
What moved Deng Qingming most was the silent support of his family for 25 years. His wife always greeted him with flowers at the airport, and his daughter became an astronaut under his influence. For Deng Qingming, it is a happy thing for father and daughter to work side by side for the aerospace cause of the motherland.
