There is no doubt that becoming an astronaut is actually a very difficult process, especially for women, it is a seemingly impossible task. Tereshkova, the world's first female astronaut, once said: "In the preparation period for going into space, women must make several times more efforts than men. The universe is neither affectionate nor generous to women. " The selection requirements of astronauts are very high, which requires good physical coordination, sense of spatial orientation and quick decision-making ability at critical moments, so people usually don't choose from excellent pilots.
Liu Yang University graduated from Air Force Changchun College. She has been an athlete since she was a child. She is good at swimming and running. Liu Yang's family is not rich, and her parents can't even afford a plane ticket. But Liu Yang likes blue sky and blue sea since he was a child. She said that her childhood dream was to be a seagull. She is not as vivid as other little girls, but she is modest and sincere. Yang Liwei, the first astronaut in China, said: "Liu Yang's sincerity and love are from the heart. When I interviewed her, part of it was an oral English test. She won the second place. When it was her turn, she said that these questions had been asked first. Let's change them. She just made a draft in her mind! " "I suddenly feel that this girl is really likable. She puts honesty first! " Yang Liwei lamented.
After completing this space trip, Liu Yang accepted an interview with a CCTV reporter. Talking about the astronauts' hard exercise in the past year, Liu Yang said with a smile: "Our exercise sounds incredible. I am afraid that no one will fantasize about becoming an astronaut after saying it. "
Liu Yang said that all astronauts must be in good health after reaching the limit, and the physical examination will last for one week. Candidates have to undergo a large number of medical tests, mainly testing cardiovascular health, vision, bone mineral density and so on. The healthier the astronauts are, the more they can adapt to exercise, and then they can really enjoy the fun brought by space flight. After a series of careful inspections, the exercise officially began. The exercise items are as follows: test the hypoxia tolerance of the subjects when they rise to 5000 meters and 65438+100000 meters in the low-pressure experimental cabin; Check the vestibular ability of the subject on the rotating seat and swing; Stop all kinds of endurance sports such as lower body negative pressure.
In addition, they also need to stop systematic exercise on professional equipment every week, usually about four hours. Astronauts must be able to operate the capsule independently. After Liu Yang officially becomes an astronaut, he will learn astronomy, astronomy, aerodynamics, space medicine, psychology, foreign languages, manned space flight and other knowledge. "After becoming an astronaut, I can really feel the needs of the motherland and the people. This feeling is very happy. After a year of purgatory exercise, I finally entered space. The farther I fly from the earth, the closer my heart is to my motherland. "
Liu Yang's gentle voice paused: "I remember that during the 13 days of the Shenzhou-9 mission, the spacecraft flew over the motherland every 90 minutes, especially at night, I could clearly see the lights flashing in cities not far away. Every time I watch it, my huge heart beats faster, and every time I feel sincerely: the motherland is so beautiful! " At the end of the interview, Liu Yang said: "After this space trip, I am sincerely proud of my huge motherland!" After completing this space trip, Liu Yang attended the 63rd International Astronautical Federation Congress in Naples. Seeing the China delegation under the stage, the President of the General Assembly specially introduced Liu Yang, the first female astronaut in China who returned from space not long ago.
Liu Yang stood on the stage and made a speech. Finally, she straightened up. She felt from the bottom of her heart that the motherland has developed and science and technology are strong, so she doesn't have to look at other people's glances when she goes abroad! Liu Yang said in the Tencent video "Astronaut Liu Yang: Refresh China's Space Height" that a reporter interviewed her in Namibia and asked her if she was not afraid of death.
Liu Yang recalled: "In fact, no one does not cherish life, but there are always people in this world who have to pay, fight and even sacrifice for something really valuable." She and her lover entered the marriage hall in 2004 and are air force comrades. The night before her Shenzhou-9 mission, they walked around the space city compound. Liu Yang told her husband that if she couldn't come back, she would take good care of her parents and find a family-oriented wife. After so many years, she failed to perform her duties well. The husband quickly interrupted her and said, "No, you can definitely come back. I'll wait for you to go home. "
Astronaut's career itself has high risks, but Liu Yang knows very well that in the face of the collision and choice between everyone and his family, life and life, he would rather owe his family than fail his country. She talked about an article I once read, which contained a short conversation: the Monkey King was asked what the Great Sage wanted. The Monkey King answered and said, stepping on the southern sky will break the sky. The man asked the Monkey King strangely, what if he didn't come back after he went? The Great Sage replied, That's gone forever!
Liu Yang was deeply touched by this conversation. She felt that this was the attitude of every astronaut towards the mission. At the end of the interview, she said: "The career is really tiring and bitter, but in my heart everything is worthwhile and happy. As our astronauts often say, going out for our country is an astronaut's eternal fantasy. As long as the motherland gives the order, we can advance into space at any time and strive for new heights. " Liu Yang, who once disappeared from public view, now has more time to spend with her family, and 20 15 was successfully promoted to mother. After a period of good rest, Liu Yang decided to go back to school and enrich his knowledge. Since Liu Yang came back from space, he has become more aware that good communication is more important than necessary physical qualities in the knowledge of astronauts. Astronauts communicate with the air control center when completing their daily tasks, needs and time. Good communication can ensure efficiency and prevent mistakes.
After understanding my purpose, she didn't stay too long on this honor. After consulting with her husband, Liu Yang was admitted to the sociology major of Tsinghua University Academy of Social Sciences. 20 18, Liu Yang graduated from Tsinghua University with honors, and obtained a master's degree in sociology and a doctorate in law. She became the "China Aerospace Public Welfare Ambassador". She said that she will continue to play her role in China's space industry and strive to bring China's space industry to a new height.
In the face of great honor, Liu Yang did not take credit, nor did he forget the lofty task of astronauts. As usual, she was indifferent. However, as the first female astronaut in China, her achievements and brilliance have been recorded in the history books of China Space Agency forever.
