Shenzhou XIII was launched at 00: 23 on June 6, 20021Beijing time. In Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the flight crew consists of astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, with Zhai Zhigang as the commander.

Brief introduction of shenzhou.

Shenzhou XIII manned spacecraft will be launched in the early morning of 16, and astronauts will stay in orbit for the first time for six months. "On New Year's Eve, we will send blessings to the motherland from space.

As the commander of this mission and the astronaut who performed the mission for the second time, Zhai Zhigang went out again on 13. He prefers to call it 13' s long preparation rather than 13' s long waiting.

Compared with 13 years ago, this mission has an extra-vehicular activity, which is more complicated, arduous and challenging, and it is more inclined to the application of technology. In addition, the Shenzhou XIII mission also "shoulders" the project tasks of manual remote control operation docking, scientific experiments, and research in various fields.

Shenzhou XIII manned mission is the sixth and last mission in the key technology verification stage of the space station.

The main purpose is to carry out key technical tests of space station assembly and construction, such as mechanical arm assisted cabin transposition and manual teleoperation. The second is to carry out 2-3 extravehicular activities, install the dual-arm combination adapter and suspension device of large and small manipulators, and prepare for the subsequent space station construction tasks.

Further verify the health, life and work support technology of astronauts staying in orbit for six months. The fourth is to carry out scientific and technological experiments and applications in aerospace medicine, microgravity physics and other fields, and comprehensively evaluate the functional performance of various engineering systems in performing space station tasks and the matching between systems.

Astronaut Shenzhou XIII will stay in space for six months. "This puts higher demands on people's body and mind." The most difficult thing is not how difficult it is to train, work and study, but how to do a simple thing with the highest standards and the highest enthusiasm, ten times as much as it is everywhere.
