🌏 When the satellite passes through the domestic ground receiving terminal, it will send back the image radio frequency signal, so there is this photo of us with the earth and space!

🚀 This photo means a lot to us. Because not long after our son turned one year old, we took him to watch the first rocket launch in his life – on December 22, 2020, the first flight of the Long March 8 carrier rocket. Then until today, he has chased five rockets with us when he was less than 3 years old:
On April 29, 2021, the Long March 5B Yao-2 carrier rocket was launched with the Tianhe core module of the Chinese space station.


On December 23, 2021, the Long March 7 was converted into a carrier rocket with “one Carrier Rocket  and two satellites”.
On February 27, 2022, the Long March 8 Yao-2 carrier rocket “One Arrow 22 Satellites”.
On July 24, 2022, the Long March 5B Yaosan carrier rocket was launched with the Wentian experimental module….My son was very interested in rocket launches, and he was clamouring to watch the video of the rocket launch while eating. We planted a dream of spaceflight in his heart.

🌟As a starry sky/rocket photographer, I have photographed so many starry sky and rocket. I dream that one day we can actually go to space and take a photo with the earth. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.


🌕 Every moment of happiness is worth cherishing. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, @九天MSI launched the [Mid-Autumn Space Gift Box] (Figure 15, the last picture).
