In 2003, he served as the chief designer of China's lunar exploration project.
Studying in the Soviet Union:
18 years old, admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology to study Russian, and then transferred to the Department of Automobile. After the formation of the New China Air Force, Sun Jiadong, who has a good personality and knowledge, was chosen as the urgently needed Russian translator. 195 1 In September, Sun Jiadong and 29 other soldiers were sent to zhukovsky Air Force Engineering College to study. His academic performance has always been among the best. A year later, Sun Jiadong's photo appeared in the most conspicuous "Top Scholar List" at the entrance of the college. It turns out that zhukovsky Air Force Engineering College puts the photos of five straight A students in the year-end exam into the pyramid-shaped "list of top scholars" every year. If it can be maintained every year, his photo will get bigger and bigger every year and move up once a year.
Of course, it is very difficult to keep it every year. When there are few photos left, it is time for students to graduate. At this time, if you can still rank as the "number one scholar", you can get a pure gold medal with Stalin's head. Only five years after entering this college, Sun Jiadong won the pure gold medal envied by everyone, and was one of the few international students in China at that time.
China's space industry:
1957, when the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sun Jiadong was still studying in the Soviet Union. 1958, Chairman Mao issued the call of "We also want to build satellites". It was also in that year that Sun Jiadong returned to China and began to go into space.
1in April, 958, after returning from the Soviet Union, Sun Jiadong was assigned to the General Department of the First Branch of the Fifth Academy of National Defense (the predecessor of China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology) to report for duty. Let him be the overall missile. At this time, the first batch of missile drawings provided by the Soviet Union arrived and were delivered to Sun Jiadong one after another, and the work of imitating missiles began. Just when China's missile industry started from imitation,1August 3, 960, all Soviet experts working in the Fifth Hospital of the Ministry of National Defense were evacuated, taking all the drawings and materials with them. Just three months ago, Soviet experts said that China's rocket fuel was unqualified and asked China to buy Soviet fuel. As a result, the fuel didn't arrive, and the experts who helped China left. Faced with difficulties, China's scientific and technological personnel followed Qian Xuesen and embarked on a road of independent development of China's space industry. On September 1960, just seven days after the Soviet Union withdrew its experts, China successfully launched its first domestic fuel short-range ballistic missile. At that time, Sun Jiadong had served as the director of the overall design room for missile models.
Less than two months later, on1October 5th, 1960+65438+ China successfully launched its first missile "Dongfeng No.1" and hit the target accurately.
1962, the launch test of a new missile developed by China failed. After analysis, the main problems are engine and control system. At that time, the general department in Sun Jiadong was under great pressure.
From 65438 to 0964, Sun Jiadong was appointed as the overall chief designer of medium-range missiles, led the overall design of medium-range strategic missiles, and compiled the test outline of large-scale tests. In June of the same year, China successfully launched its second medium-and short-range missile. 1966 10, China carried a nuclear warhead and an improved medium-and short-range surface-to-surface missile, and successfully carried out a "two-bomb combination" flight test, which broke the argument that China "has bombs but no guns".
When China made great breakthroughs and progress in rocket technology and laid the foundation for launching artificial earth satellites, the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up the preparatory office of China Academy of Space Technology, and planned to launch China's first artificial satellite from 1970 to 197 1. However, with the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, the satellite development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not be carried out. Faced with this reality, Marshal Nie Rongzhen proposed to the Central Committee at the beginning of 1967 to set up a space technology research institute and put it into the military industry sequence, so as to ensure that the satellite project can be carried out as planned. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council agreed to this proposal, and decided that the National Defense Science and Technology Commission would be responsible for establishing the Institute of Space Technology, with Qian Xuesen, then vice minister of the Seventh Machinery Department, as its director. On the recommendation of Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong was transferred to be in charge of the overall design of the first artificial satellite.
1967 65438+in February, Sun Jiadong presided over the re-demonstration of the technical scheme of China's "first satellite", and determined that the "first satellite" was an experimental satellite and named it "Dongfanghong-1".
Since the age of 37, Sun Jiadong has been active in the "Star Altar". Shortly after he presided over the overall design of the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite, he also presided over the overall design of China's first recoverable remote sensing satellite. From 65438 to 0978, Sun Jiadong made a special speech on Chinese recoverable satellite development at the National Science and Technology Conference. In view of many scientific research achievements of Chinese recoverable satellites, the meeting gave a grand commendation. China became the third country to master satellite return technology after the United States and the former Soviet Union.
Following the successful launch of "Dongfanghong-1" communication satellite and recoverable satellite, the "Dongfanghong-2" communication satellite developed by China was successfully launched in April 1984. From 65438 to 0986, Sun Jiadong served as the chief engineer of the communication satellite Dongfanghong-3. 1987 also hosted Fengyun-2 meteorological satellite project and Ziyuan-1 earth resources satellite project jointly developed by China and Brazil. Each space project consists of five systems: artificial satellite, launch site, TT&C communication and satellite application. Each of the five systems has a chief engineer. Sun Jiadong was honored as "Chief Engineer" because he was in charge of the above three space projects.
1967, chief designer of China's first artificial earth satellite. Of the 100 spacecraft independently developed and launched by China, 34 were headed by Sun Jiadong as technical director, chief designer or chief engineer, accounting for one third of the entire China spacecraft. It is recognized by the industry as the "father of satellites" in China. In the process of development and test, we went deep into reality and tried to lead scientific and technical personnel to overcome a number of technical keys and solve a series of technical problems. He made an important contribution to the successful launch of China Dongfanghong-1 satellite.
From 65438 to 0989, Sun Jiadong was the head of the China rocket-into-orbit negotiation delegation, and participated in the negotiation of the International Commercial Launch Service Agreement between the Chinese and American governments. /kloc-0 was elected member of the international academy of astronautics in 1988,/kloc-0 in 1992 and/kloc-0 in 1996. 1999 was awarded the meritorious medal of two bombs and one star. In 2003, he served as the chief designer of China's lunar exploration project. On June 24th, 2007, 18: 05: 04, xichang satellite launch center, China's first lunar exploration satellite Chang 'e-1 was successfully launched.

Character evaluation:
Sun Jiadong is an outstanding scientist and a witness in the development of China's space industry. From the success of the first man-made earth satellite to the complete success of the lunar exploration project, Sun Jiadong has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's space for decades, which the Republic and people will never forget. I am proud of your achievements. (Qian Xuesen comments)
In China's space field, Sun Jiadong is very authoritative. Sun Jiadong devoted almost his whole life to China's space industry. (People's Network Ouyang Ziyuan Reviewer)
He is honest, has the overall situation in mind, is good at synthesis and dares to make decisions. He attached great importance to personnel training and trained a number of outstanding aerospace science and technology talents through aerospace engineering practice. His achievements are admired and praised by the vast number of scientific and technological personnel in China's space industry. (Xinhuanet Review)
Teenagers study hard, young people take the lead, and you are the pillars of the country. Missiles, satellites, Chang 'e, Beidou, all over the sky. Write down your legend. Over the years, I still have deep affection for the sky. (Moved China to win the prize)
Character remarks:
When we master certain space technology, human exploration will inevitably develop into deep space, and the first step is definitely the moon.
Lunar exploration project is an independent innovation project. All aspects of our work must be "Chinese cards".
Suppose you are determined to launch, there are certain risks here, and we absolutely don't want the launch to fail.
I feel that the country has given me such an important task and won such trust from the country. I am really honored and willing to contribute all my strength.
The biggest highlight of "Chang 'e Project" to the world is four words-"independent innovation".
Anecdotes of characters:
1, expelled from school for being left-handed.
1935, going to school in Sun Jiadong. Like his mother, he is left-handed. He was not accepted by the school and dropped out of school two weeks later. A year later, Sun Jiadong learned to use his right hand skillfully. After going to school in Yingkou, he has been able to play table tennis left and right, and his grades in all subjects are excellent.
2. Braised pork "eats" a bright future
1950 On the Lantern Festival, many students went home for reunion, and the preparatory class of Harbin Institute of Technology arranged for students to eat braised pork for dinner. Sun Jiadong decided to eat rare braised pork and go back to her sister's house. After dinner, the school leader suddenly came to the canteen to inform the students present that the Air Force was recruiting people and would arrive in Beijing that night. Sun Jiadong signed up without hesitation. He may not have thought that greed would bring a bright future.
3. Get acquainted/kloc-get married after 0/08.
1August 9, 959, on 108 days after Sun Jiadong and Wei first met, according to their agreement, Wei came to Beijing from Harbin to find Sun Jiadong, took his carved Blagi and fashionable high-heeled shoes sewn by himself, and carried a bag in the department store "Daoli" in Harbin. On this day, leaders and comrades held a simple and lively wedding for them.
Qian Xuesen presided over the design of "Dongfanghong No.1"
From 65438 to 0967, Sun Jiadong began to usher in its first glory. He was appointed by Qian Xuesen to be the chief designer of the first artificial satellite. He was promoted to the director of the overall design room of the model and participated in the successful imitation of the "P-2" missile and the test launch of the domestic "Dongfeng No.1" missile.
Sun Jiadong and his wife Wei:
Late at night, Sun Jiadong's home phone rang. Calling at this time, he knew that it was mostly an emergency at work. Sun Jiadong jumped out of bed and went to the outhouse to answer the phone. As soon as this phone call is answered, it seems that the meeting is endless. His wife Wei saw that he had been answering the phone for a long time. She was afraid that he would catch cold, so she took a dress and put it on him. Maybe the contents of the phone call involve work secrets, or maybe he is afraid that his wife will disturb his research work. Sun Jiadong glared at her lover and motioned for her to leave. As Wei silently turned to leave, Sun Jiadong closed the door on tiptoe with a phone in one hand and stretching his legs.
This angered Wei: "There are only two of us in this family. You shouldn't be so wary of me at work. It is an occupational disease! "
Despite such angry words, Wei knew that Sun Jiadong's work was highly confidential. Therefore, every time I meet Sun Jiadong and her colleagues to discuss work by phone at home, she quietly leaves and silently supports him.
This is just a silhouette of Sun Jiadong's family life. For decades, he has been so meticulous about himself and his family.
Sun Jiadong and Wei met through photos. 1April, 959, I got a photo of Wei introduced by my comrades-in-arms, and Sun Jiadong wrote her a letter in Harbin. Twenty days later, they met at the gate of Lin Qiu Department Store in Harbin. After more than three months, Wei came to Beijing from Harbin to find Sun Jiadong. The leaders and comrades held a simple wedding for them. It took four months for two young people to "know" each other from photos to get married. The marriage event of older youth is perfectly solved. Many years later, Sun Jiadong mentioned this matter and said, "Marriage is actually a kind of fate, I believe."
Wei became a wife when he was transferred to work in Beijing. At this point, Wei didn't know what Sun Jiadong had done. He either works overtime or has a meeting and is away on business for several months. Contact with family depends entirely on letters, and the receiving address is just a vague "X-box". Sometimes, Wei is depressed and can only talk to the wall.
Sun Jiadong's daughter was born in 1967, when he was on duty. When the baby was about to be born, Wei called a scooter alone and had it taken to the hospital. Because it's all a system, the hospital can't stand it. Call Sun Jiadong: "Director Sun, your lover gave birth to a big fat girl for you. Won't you come and see? "
At 2 1 35 on April 24, 0970, with the "ignition" password issued, the launch vehicle carrying the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite was launched, and the music of "Dongfanghong" resounded through space. At the moment of successful launch, Sun Jiadong, 4 1 year-old, had tears in her eyes.
On May 1 this year, all the people who worked with Sun Jiadong to develop artificial satellites left by car in advance. He seldom has a free day, and people who are used to being busy don't know what to do. So he came to Tiananmen Square by bus. He was deeply moved by the long-lost Tiananmen Square. Walking to the front door, I saw someone waiting in line at the entrance of the mall to buy sweaters that were in short supply at that time. He also lined up to buy a red sweater for his lover. Holding a sweater, he felt an uncontrollable joy: it was a little compensation for his wife's years of fatigue.
It was not until June 1985 and June 10 that China's Ministry of Space announced that China's launch vehicle would go global. Wei, who has lived with Sun Jiadong for nearly 30 years, learned what her husband did on TV.
Wei said, "I haven't seen Sun Jiadong idle since I was with him. On the one hand, I know his work is very important. On the other hand, he is often away from home, either working overtime, having meetings or going on business trips. It will take several months to go to the launch site to carry out the test mission. Don't say that I don't want to rely on him at all, but I don't think I can rely on him. When we are young, we are old and young, and it will become nature in a few decades. Now that the children have grown up, there is no burden at home, and we are old. "
