At about 6: 30, three astronauts dressed in ivory spacesuits walked out of the first floor of the battle hall with steady steps and appeared in Yuanmengyuan Square.
The square is full of colorful flags and crowds. The farewell team waved flowers, national flags and colorful flags and shouted, "I wish you success!" " I wish you victory! ""learn from astronauts! Pay tribute to the astronauts! "The people present did heroic deeds for the astronauts in various ways, praying and cheering for them.
From left to right, astronauts Tang Hongbo, Nie Haisheng and Liu Boming lined up.
"Comrade commander in chief, we were ordered to carry out the Shenzhou-12 manned space mission. Ready, please indicate! Astronauts of the China People's Liberation Army Astronaut Brigade Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo. " There is a loud voice in the square.
"Let's go!"
At 6: 32, Li Zheng, the commander-in-chief of China's manned spaceflight project and the general command of the space station mission, issued an order and raised his hand to salute.
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud that it sings about our great motherland ..." With the music of "Singing the Motherland", everyone vigorously waved the colorful flags in their hands to see off the space heroes.
One step, two steps, three steps ... Astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo walked slowly to the special vehicle for manned space launch site against the rising sun in the desert.
Encouraged and blessed, three astronauts boarded the aircraft under the escort of five motorcycles and headed for the launch site.
Five kilometers away from Wentian Pavilion, the "Strongest Double Twelve" combination consisting of the Long March 2 F- 12 rocket and the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft is quietly waiting for the arrival of three passengers.
In the morning, the Chinese nation is about to start another space journey, and the time for China astronauts to stay in space is coming.
At about 6: 30 on June 17, three astronauts of Shenzhou 12 were ordered to leave the cabin. Li Yi, commander-in-chief of China's manned spaceflight project and space station mission, ordered three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, to go out. The three-month mission is about to begin, and they will be the first space visitors after China's manned space flight enters the on-orbit assembly and construction stage of the space station.
Officials said that the Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft will be launched at 9: 22 on June 17, Beijing time, and the Long March II F- 12 rocket will be filled with propellant on the morning of June 16.
It is reported that the flight crew of Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft consists of three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, with Nie Haisheng as the commander and backup astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu.
Among the three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, a special astronaut, participated in the manned missions of Shenzhou VI and Shenzhou X, Liu Boming, a special astronaut, participated in the manned mission of Shenzhou VII, and Tang Hongbo, a second-class astronaut, flew for the first time.
According to the plan, the spacecraft will be docked with the front port of Tianhe core cabin by autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking, and form an assembly with Tianhe core cabin and Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft. The astronauts stayed in Tianhe for about 3 months and then returned to the Dongfeng landing site in the return capsule of Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft.
The Long March II F- 12 rocket carrying out this launch mission will be filled with propellant on the morning of 16.
Ji said that the Shenzhou-12 manned mission is the fourth mission in the key technology verification stage of the space station, and it is also the first manned mission in the space station stage. The mission mainly has the following purposes: in-orbit verification of key technologies such as astronauts' long-term stay, regeneration and life support, space material supply, extravehicular activities, extravehicular operations and on-orbit maintenance during the construction and operation of the space station, and the first test of astronauts' search and rescue ability at the Dongfeng landing site; Carry out multi-field space applications and practical (trial) experiments; Comprehensively evaluate and assess the functions and performance of each system in the project to perform the space station task, further assess the matching and coordination among the systems, and accumulate experience for the follow-up tasks.
According to the plan, after the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft is in orbit, it will dock with the front port of Tianhe core cabin by autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking, and form an assembly with Tianhe core cabin and Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft. Astronauts enter the core cabin, carry out a synchronized work and rest system between heaven and earth, stay for about 3 months, and return to the Dongfeng landing site in the spacecraft return cabin.
At present, the combination of Tianhe core module and Tianzhou-2 is in a stable state, and all the equipment is working normally, which has the conditions for rendezvous and docking and astronauts' stationing. The systems for carrying out the Shenzhou-12 manned mission have completed comprehensive drills, the astronauts' flight crew is in good condition, and all preparations before launch are basically ready.
