Personality assessment
Sunshine, fortitude, softness and honesty. Zhu once conducted postdoctoral research in the first-class protection engineering research team in China, and quickly changed his research direction and worked hard; I also worked as a teacher in colleges and universities, and soon grew into the teaching backbone of the team. No matter what position and environment he is in, he can always face and adapt positively.
Zhu is the first astronaut trained by National University of Defense Technology and the first non-pilot professional astronaut in China. This expedition, as the first space flight engineer in China, will also carry out the first manned mission from the space station to the application development stage, and carry out related technical experiments in space. Zhu took the first step of scientific and technological personnel "flying", which was a landmark event. In the future, more scientists and technicians will go to the space station in China to explore the vast universe.
