Main story
At 5: 30am on June 5th, Beijing time 10, that is, three and a half hours before the successful launch of Shenzhou 5, Yang Liwei, wearing a silver-gray spacesuit, reported to the commander-in-chief Li: "Ask for instructions to leave the cabin."
Yang Liwei, a native of Suizhong County, Liaoning Province, is1.68m tall and has a college degree. 1enlisted in June, 983. He is currently a third-class astronaut, a first-class pilot and a lieutenant colonel of the China People's Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade.
Yang Liwei participated in the astronaut selection from 1996, and officially became the first astronaut in China from 1998 to 65438+ 10. After more than five years of training, he completed the training tasks in eight categories and dozens of subjects, such as basic theory and professional technology, with excellent results, and finally stood out from many candidates and became the first astronaut in China.
Faced with the harsh space environment such as vibration, impact, noise, weightlessness, overweight, cosmic radiation, high vacuum, circadian rhythm change, and drastic temperature change, Yang Liwei had to bear the psychological and work pressure of overload. These environmental factors will lead to a series of biomedical and psychological problems, such as cardiovascular system dysfunction, changes in bone and muscle structure and function, sleep cycle disorder, space motion sickness, emotional depression and so on.
In addition, once the launch fails, Yang Liwei needs to face the danger of losing his life.
However, bearing the Millennium dream of the Chinese nation, China's first "space messenger" finally completed his sacred mission with superhuman quality and courage.
