On the morning of April 16, 2022 Beijing time, the astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and ye Guangfu of Shenzhou 13, known as the “feel good” crew, successfully ended their “space business trip” and returned to the earth, where they had been away for half a year, putting a successful end to China’s longest manned space flight so far.

The 183 day space trip, from the space flight out of the capsule to the docking of the cargo spacecraft with the space station through remote operation for the first time in orbit, from the first spacewalk of Chinese female astronauts to the three astronauts, set a record for the longest space residence time of Chinese astronauts in a single mission. The astronauts completed a series of space scientific experiments and technical verification, setting one Chinese space record after another, It has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent construction of the space station. The construction of China’s space station is progressing in an orderly manner as planned, and the “Shenzhou 13” mission is at the key node connecting the preceding and the following. The complete success of this mission marks that the key technologies of the construction of the space station have been fully verified, the baton has been steadily handed over to the on orbit assembly and construction stage of the space station, and the prototype national space laboratory is about to be officially completed.

Astronauts can “feel good” in the vast space, which stems from the innovative confidence of astronauts and the innovative breakthrough of aerospace technology. I wear the “cool” attitude of the space capsule, and feel very cool in the space capsule; The space broadband several times the 5g network speed supports astronauts to share the magnificent beauty of the universe at an altitude of 400 kilometers and speak fluently in the “Tiangong classroom”; Originally relying on astronauts to “carry” materials in spaceships, now Tianzhou cargo spaceships have sent “space express”… The progress of Aerospace Science and technology created by independent innovation has continuously improved the ability of Chinese people to enter and leave space, and also promoted the flying dream to sail away.

Just as “space teacher” Wang Yaping encouraged teenagers to “build their own dream spacecraft with wisdom and sweat”, the realization of dreams requires motivation and determination. This year coincides with 30 years of China’s manned space industry. Through unremitting efforts to build dreams in space, the “three-step” development strategy of manned space engineering is about to become a reality. Over the past 30 years, the leapfrog development of China’s aerospace has amazed the world. From staying in space for a few days to entering the space station for half a year, and then to the more spacious and comfortable “space home”, astronauts who have experienced the “spacecraft era” must feel it particularly deeply. At the same time, what impresses people is the long-term persistence of “drawing a blueprint to the end” of China’s aerospace. The astronauts move forward steadily step by step until they open the door of the space station era and reap rich rewards for striving for their dreams. As an important symbol of the country’s scientific and technological level and scientific and technological ability, the self-confidence and self-improvement of China’s aerospace has not only made its own progress on the road of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, but also provided a strong spiritual driving force for the innovation and creation of the whole society.

The starry sky is vast, and the exploration is endless. The construction of the space station is an important milestone in China’s space industry and will make pioneering contributions to the peaceful use of space by mankind. 2022 is a decisive year for the construction of the space station. The on orbit construction task of the space station is still arduous, and the challenge of building a national space laboratory with stable operation in orbit is not small. With hard climbing and determined struggle, the figure of astronauts walking in space will be more confident and calm, and the Chinese people will better explore and embrace this deep universe.
