Wang Yaping: Preparing for the moon landing! What preparations is she making? When will she land on the moon?

Wang Yaping: Preparing for the moon landing! What preparations is she making? When will she land on the moon? Will she be among the first Taikonauts to land on the moon?

Among the Chinese Taikonauts, Wang Yaping has always been a popular figure. During this year’s two sessions, Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping once again became the focus of media attention. When asked by reporters whether she had plans to go to the moon, she smiled and replied: “We are preparing! We are training and preparing for the moon landing!”

These brief and powerful words not only revealed Wang Yaping’s positive attitude towards future space missions, but also triggered widespread speculation among the public as to whether she would become one of the first Taikonauts to land on the moon.

After the interview video was released on CCTV.com, netizens left comments saying that it was indeed appropriate and it would not be surprising if she went! Someone said, “She should be the first to go to the moon because she is Chang’e. It would be a little less interesting if there was no Chang’e on the moon!”

Let’s first review Wang Yaping’s space experience: As an outstanding representative of China’s space industry, Wang Yaping’s space journey is full of legends. She was born in 1980 and has been yearning for the sky since she was a child. In 2001, Wang Yaping graduated from the Air Force Changchun Flight Academy and became an excellent pilot. In her flying career, she has not only accumulated rich flying experience, but also tempered her tenacious will and excellent emergency response capabilities.

In 2010, Wang Yaping was selected as one of the second batch of Chinese Taikonauts. She knows that being an astronaut is not only an honor, but also a responsibility and mission. Therefore, she sets extremely high standards for herself, constantly studies and trains, and strives to improve her professional skills and physical and mental qualities.

In 2013, Wang Yaping embarked on her first space journey. As one of the crew members of the Shenzhou 10 spacecraft, she lived in space for 15 days with her comrades Nie Haisheng and Zhang Xiaoguang. During this time, she not only participated in a number of scientific experiments and technical tests, but also successfully conducted China’s first space lecture, inspiring countless young people’s love and yearning for space travel.

In 2021, Wang Yaping once again embarked on a space journey. As the commander of the Shenzhou XIII spacecraft, she stayed in the Chinese space station for 6 months with her comrades Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu. During this period, she not only completed a number of complex scientific experiments and technical verifications, but also participated in the daily maintenance and management of the space station, demonstrating the outstanding ability and professionalism of Chinese Taikonauts.

So, what preparations is she making for the moon landing? Combined with the training required for the moon landing, it probably includes the following aspects:

 1. Physical training: The lunar mission requires extremely high physical fitness of Taikonauts. Wang Yaping needs to undergo high-intensity physical training, including aerobic exercise, strength training, balance training, etc., to improve her endurance, strength and coordination. These trainings will help her cope with various complex environments and tasks on the moon.

2. Professional skills training: The lunar mission requires Taikonauts to master a number of professional skills, such as spacecraft control, scientific experiment operation, emergency response, etc. Wang Yaping needs to participate in a series of professional training courses to learn and master these skills. At the same time, she also needs to be familiar with the characteristics of the moon’s geology, climate, environment, etc., in order to better complete the scientific exploration mission.

 3. Psychological adjustment training: The space environment also places extremely high demands on the psychological quality of Taikonauts. Wang Yaping needs to undergo psychological adjustment training to learn how to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude in a long-term closed, lonely and high-pressure environment. This will help her stay calm and deal with various challenges calmly during the lunar mission.

 4. Simulation training: In order to simulate the lunar environment more realistically, Wang Yaping needs to participate in a series of simulation training. These trainings include walking, operating, and repairing tasks in a simulated lunar gravity environment, as well as geological surveys and scientific experiments on a simulated lunar surface. These trainings will help her better adapt to the lunar environment and improve the efficiency of completing tasks.

5. Teamwork training: The moon landing mission requires close cooperation and tacit coordination among Taikonauts. Wang Yaping needs to conduct a lot of teamwork training with her teammates, including mission planning, division of labor and cooperation, emergency response, etc. This will help her to form a strong fighting force with her teammates in the moon landing mission and jointly cope with various challenges.

In addition to training, Wang Yaping and other first Taikonauts who landed on the moon also needed to learn about the lunar space environment, surface environment, geological conditions of the lunar landing site, etc., that is, they needed to become experts with a deep understanding of the moon and lunar landing knowledge

For Taikonauts with multiple spaceflight experiences, the above is not difficult. Wang Yaping not only has rich spaceflight experience and professional qualities, but also has excellent physical and psychological qualities. Therefore, she is fully likely to become one of the first Taikonauts to land on the moon.

my country’s first manned lunar landing mission will most likely be completed by three Taikonauts, and Taikonauts with rich space experience will be arranged to participate. Wang Yaping is also an ideal candidate. Two men and one woman is also more reasonable in terms of gender, so the probability of her being selected is also relatively high. Wang Yaping said in an interview that she is preparing for the moon landing mission, which also means that a group of Taikonauts including her are working hard for my country’s first manned space mission. my country’s manned space engineering office has also stated that it will complete my country’s first manned space mission before 2030, which means that within the next five years, we will be able to see Chinese Taikonauts step on the moon, leaving the first important mark of the Chinese nation’s march toward the stars and the sea.

He flew safely for 1,567 hours and was rated as a second-class pilot of the Air Force. In May 2010, she was selected into the second batch of Chinese astronauts. In March 2012, he was selected as a backup astronaut for the Shenzhou-9 mission. In June 2013, he carried out the Shenzhou 10 mission; in December 2019, he was selected as the crew of the Shenzhou 13 mission Representative to the 13th National People’s Congress, China Aerospace Charity Ambassador In June 2013, she carried out the Shenzhou-10 mission, which lasted 15 days, and became China’s first space teacher. From October 2021 to April 2022, the Shenzhou 13 mission was carried out, which lasted 183 days, and a total of three space lectures were conducted China’s first female astronaut to station on the space station and first to conduct extravehicular activities

Wang Yaping: Ready to go to space at any time, hoping to achieve a moonwalk. Wang Yaping introduced that Tiangong- China’s space station has implemented more than 150 space science research and application projects in batches in orbit. For Takionauts, there are only two states: flying and preparing to fly. Wang Yaping said that in the Shenzhou 13 mission, she has already completed a spacewalk, and after returning, she has started new normalized training, hoping to maintain a better state and be ready at any time…

[Wang Yaping: Ready to go to space at any time, hoping to have the opportunity to walk on the moon] China, full of vitality, has entered the “Two Sessions Time”. Last year, Wang Yaping was elected as a member of the new National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

王貞儀  WangZhenyi……. 金陈 Dance Tribute to the Female Scientists of the Qing Dynasty 200 Years Ago ….  In the thousands of years of space exploration history of the Chinese nation, there is a female scientist, Wang Zhenyi, who left a mark. They have never met before, but they share the same belief and mission. When we travel through the long river of time and space and look at Wang Zhenyi from a distance two hundred years ago, we will find that she is like the “Wang Zhenyi Star” in the universe, always shining brightly…….. she is story played by金晨 JinChen International Mainland China film and television actress…..  

王貞儀 Wang Zhenyi was a Chinese scientist from the Qing dynasty. She breached the feudal customs of the time, which hindered women’s rights, by working to educate herself in subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, geography, and medicine. She was well known for her contributions in astronomy, mathematics, and poetry. Shangyuan County, Jiangning Prefecture – now Nanjing Born: 1768 Died: 1797 Parents: Wang Xichen Partner: Zhan Mei

Wang Zhenyi lived with her grandfather during her childhood. From the age of 9, her grandfather taught her to write poems and compositions. She was very sensitive to the world and human conditions, and had unique thinking and understanding of social reality. After the death of Wang Zhefu, Wang Zhenyi, her grandmother Dong, her father and others went to the funeral . They lived in Jilin for 4 years and studied under Mrs. Bu Qianyao. Wang Zhenyi was not willing to be bound by the feudal concept of male superiority and female inferiority . She believed that men and women had the same mind and knowledge was not necessarily reserved for men. Women should also have the right to seek knowledge. She opposed the concept that women could only engage in eating, drinking and sewing

. Wang Zhenyi learned riding and shooting from General Mongolia’s wife , and developed the superb skill of “hitting the target”. In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong’s reign (1784), he accompanied his father and others to escort his grandfather’s coffin back to Jiangning, and then traveled around with his grandmother, father, uncle and others. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong’s reign (1786), he returned to Tianchang’s old residence with his grandmother. Wang Zhenyi married Zhan Mei when she was 25 years old. After marriage, Wang Zhenyi did not stop studying. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Wang Zhenyi passed away at the age of 29. 

Wang Zhenyi’s poems are simple and unpretentious, and express her feelings directly. Many of her poems reflect social reality. [6]  His representative works include “Illustrated Astrology”, “Calendar Briefs” and ” The First Collection of De Feng Pavilion “. Wang Zhenyi not only extensively dabbled in classics and epics, but also went deep into astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine and other scientific fields that were not taken seriously at the time.  Wang Zhenyi was one of the great scholars in Chinese history. She solved many problems related to planets. He was regarded as one of the great wise men of the Qing Dynasty and is remembered by the world. Wang Zhenyi’s works influenced many scientists, mathematicians and writers in later generations.

Scientific work

Wang Zhenyi did a lot of scientific work in her short life of 29 years old. She is proficient in geography, mathematics, medicine, poetry and painting, and also understands meteorology. “What she says about sunny weather and rainy weather is not always experienced”, and her articles are “all based on facts and reasoning, and they are not inspired by others.”

Maths

It can be seen from her remaining writings that she was a female mathematician engaged in astronomical and computational research.

Calculator , also known as plan, plan, plan, etc., sometimes also called operator, is a rod-shaped calculation tool. They are usually a batch of small sticks of the same length and thickness made of bamboo or wood. They can also be made of metal, jade, bone and other materials . They are placed in a special arithmetic bag or tube when not in use. Arrange on board, felt or directly on the table. The method of calculation using “suanchi” is called ” suanchi “, and when it was introduced to Japan, it was called “arithmetic”. Calculation originated very early in China. There is a statement in ” Laozi ” that “those who are good at counting do not need to plan.” The earliest record seen is ” Sun Zi Suan Jing “. By the Ming Dynasty, calculation was gradually replaced by abacus.

In the early 17th century, the British mathematician Napier invented a calculation method, which was introduced to my country in the late Ming Dynasty and was also called “calculation”. Famous mathematicians Mei Wending , Dai Zhen and others in the Qing Dynasty once studied it. Dai Zhen called it “strategy.”

Wang Zhenyi was also engaged in researching this kind of technology introduced to our country from the West, and wrote three volumes of books to introduce Western technology to the Chinese people. She provides additional explanations of Western planning in her books, making them simple and clear. The Napier arithmetic method of multiplication and division introduced by Wang Zhenyi was considered easy to understand by readers at the time, but compared with the multiplication and division calculation methods in my country at that time, it seemed more complicated. Therefore, mathematicians did not use Western arithmetic and have always used Chinese arithmetic. Many readers regard Chinese and foreign calculations for multiplication and division as antiques, using the four arithmetic operations of written arithmetic introduced from foreign countries. This kind of written arithmetic only began to be used in 1903, so the history of using written arithmetic in China to integrate with the world is only 100 years old.

金晨 JinChen International Mainland China film and television actress

Jin Chen, born on September 5, 1990 in Jinan City, Shandong Province, is a film and television actress in Mainland China and graduated from Beijing Dance Academy with a major in folk dance. In 2011, she entered the entertainment industry by starring in the martial arts drama “Seven Weapons: Peacock Feathers”; in the same year, she participated in the third season of the dance program “Strictly Come Dancing” and won the championship in the finals. In 2012, she played Yu Ji in the costume war drama “The Battle between Chu and Han”. In 2013, she was nominated for the Best New Actress at the 16th Shanghai International Film Festival Media Awards for her thriller and suspense film “Carpool”. In 2015, she began to emerge in the field of film and television by starring in the fantasy drama “Wuxin Master” of the Republic of China.

Summary:

Taikonaut Zhao gave us an overview of Hong Kong’s and GBA’s possible role in complementing China’s Space programme over the next few years. He built on the theme of “why not?” and suggested this is the perfect time to jump in. NewSpace is becoming a new industry for mankind. NewSpace is broad and all-encompassing, and that’s why we all need to think bigger and wider. NewSpace requires new tech, new talent, new policies, and new insights. The satellite applications market is the largest and this segment requires more capacity building. NewSpace should be more inclusive and for a more diversified humanity. We shouldn’t leave anyone behind. Hong Kong’s locational role is unique, and can help China become more international, more connected, and more innovative with proper and timely funding. Conversely, the NewSpace will also help power Hong Kong’s economy and make it much more diversified. There are five steps for Hong Kong to consider. Breakthrough the old stereotypes and barriers. Bring in talent. Enhance the rule of international space law. Attract more capital. Promote and connect startups in China to IPO. Hong Kong needs lots more talent. Need to develop many more and create a stronger pool of talent.
