Three Chinese astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-13 manned spaceship Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu completed their six-month \u201cbusiness trip\u201d to space and returned to Earth on April 16, wrapping up the longest crewed mission to space in China\u2019s aerospace history.<\/p>\n

From launching extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) to completing the first autonomous docking between a cargo ship and the core module of the space station, and from witnessing the first spacewalk conducted by a Chinese woman to setting a record for China’s crewed space mission duration, the 183-day mission has completed a series of experiments and technological verification, laying a solid foundation for subsequent construction of the space station.<\/p>\n

The Shenzhou-13 mission marked a historic transition of China\u2019s aerospace undertaking. The successful mission comprehensively verified the critical technologies required for the construction of the space station and paved a path for subsequent in-orbit assembly and construction.<\/p>\n

The three astronauts\u2019 great performance stemmed from the confidence of China\u2019s aerospace industry and the innovation of China\u2019s aerospace technologies.<\/p>\n

Wearing China\u2019s independently developed EVA suit Feitian, they calmly completed extra-vehicular activities that were both dangerous and stunning. With a space network that was times faster than 5G, they shared magnificent space views 400 kilometers above the Earth and gave live classes to students.<\/p>\n

Previously, Chinese astronauts had to take cargoes and materials in spaceships when leaving the Earth, but the Tianzhou-2 cargo ship acted as a \u201cspace courier\u201d this time, delivering materials to the astronauts.<\/p>\n

The aerospace progress driven by China\u2019s independent innovation is constantly improving the Chinese people\u2019s ability to enter and exit from the space, and realizing more of their space dreams.<\/p>\n

As Wang Yaping encouraged the young generation in a letter she replied to middle school students to build their own \u201cspaceships of dreams\u201d with wisdom and sweats, realizing dreams takes both actions and perseverance.<\/p>\n

This year commemorates the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China\u2019s manned space engineering project. The country\u2019s perseverance in the past three decades will eventually result in the realization of the country\u2019s three-step strategy for manned space program.<\/p>\n

In the past 30 years, China\u2019s aerospace industry has made astonishing achievements, such as extending crewed space mission duration from days to half a year and building a spacious and comfortable space station.<\/p>\n

What is also noteworthy is China\u2019s efforts to continuously implement its aerospace strategies. Chinese aerospace personnel have made stable progress and led the country to an era of space station. The achievements nowadays are rewards of their perseverance.<\/p>\n

As an important indicator of national sci-tech level and capability, Chinese aerospace has achieved considerable strides toward sci-tech independence with self-confidence and self-reliance, significantly inspiring the society to make further innovations.<\/p>\n

The cosmos is immense and exploration of it will never be completed. The construction of the space station is an important milestone of China\u2019s aerospace undertaking and will make groundbreaking contributions to mankind\u2019s peaceful exploitation of space.<\/p>\n

This year will be a year of decisive victory for the construction of the space station. The in-orbit construction of the space station remains arduous, and the building of a stable in-orbit national space lab still confronts obstacles.<\/p>\n

It is believed that Chinese astronauts will explore the universe with more confidence and the Chinese people will undoubtedly have more profound knowledge of the enormous space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
