Qian Xuesen 19 1 1 was born in a teacher's family in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and he showed outstanding ability in mathematics and physics when he was in middle school. 1934 was admitted to the physics department of Tsinghua University, and began his study and research in the field of physics.
The Department of Physics of Tsinghua University was one of the best physics disciplines in China at that time, and many famous physicists at home and abroad gathered here, such as Wu, Li, and Li. Under the infiltration of this subject, Qian Xuesen gradually formed his own physical thinking and research direction. His research fields mainly include quantum physics, atomic physics and electronic physics, especially electronic physics.
1938, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study for a doctorate in physics. Here, he continued to deepen the research in the field of electronic physics and began to set foot in the aerospace field. During World War II, he engaged in missile research in the US Air Force laboratory and became one of the pioneers of missile technology. He also led the American "Operation Alpha" plan and successfully sent the first American satellite into space. From 65438 to 0955, he returned to China Academy of Sciences and began his outstanding contribution to science and technology in China.
In a word, Qian Xuesen studied physics, and he made great achievements and contributions in this field. With his knowledge and technology of physics, he made pioneering contributions to China's space industry and became one of the important founders of modern science and technology in China.
