First female astronaut in space
In mid-June, the Shenzhou IX spacecraft will be launched with three astronauts on board, and some experts say the first launch window has been set for Shenzhou IX, which will be launched on the afternoon of the 16th. It is understood that the three astronauts will have a female. Recently, the famous space technology experts, the first chief designer of Shenzhou spacecraft, the Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Qi Fa brew confirmed the news in an interview. The company’s first-ever “The Big Bang Theory” is a new version of “The Big Bang Theory.
According to media reports, the two female astronauts, one of whom is named Liu Yang and the other is named Wang Yaping, served in the Wuhan flight force. The two female astronauts were identified as the first female astronaut crew to fly after heavy selection because of their excellent flight skills and superb psychological qualities.
In fact, as early as March this year, space hero General Yang Liwei revealed that China had selected female astronauts two years ago in the selection of the second batch of astronauts, and they are in intense training. Experts say that female astronauts may be worse than male astronauts in terms of load resistance, but their endurance is something that many male astronauts do not have. Here’s a look at what female astronauts need to be able to do.
The selection criteria for female astronauts are fully disclosed
The first chief designer of the Shenzhou spacecraft, Qi Bremshe, introduced three conditions for astronauts to fly in the sky: one is physical, the second is technical, and the third is psychological state, “requiring very good psychological quality. Qi Bremsstrahlung revealed that there are two female astronauts in training, “we all hope they can go on, they themselves also want to go on, but still depends on the final assessment.”
One, physically
1, required to have given birth?
For China’s first female astronaut, netizens have been hotly debated, from looks to experience, and then to the selection criteria for female astronauts, before the National People’s Congress, Zhang Jianqi, former deputy chief commander of China’s manned space program, said the conditions and standards for female astronaut selection are similar to those for male astronauts, including physical fitness, flight experience, and will, state of mind and other factors, the only The only difference is to try to choose married ones, because married women are more mature physically and psychologically.
Pang Zhihao, a researcher at the Institute of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and executive editor-in-chief of International Space magazine, also pointed out that according to foreign experience, if female astronauts go to heaven, pregnancy may be affected in the short term, and there are precedents abroad of female astronauts returning to Earth after pregnancy and miscarriage or baby deformities. And if pregnancy is delayed to circumvent the effects, there is a chance that older people will be affected, because female astronauts themselves have to have more than 1,000 hours of flight time before they go to heaven, and they are older when they fly.
Thus our female astronauts are all married women who have had children and are giving birth naturally. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. And natural childbirth is, of course, to avoid the effects of scarring.
But according to the information we know so far, Wang Xianmin, the deputy chief designer of the astronaut system for the manned space program, made it clear in an interview that the selection conditions for female astronauts in China do not require that they must have given birth.
2. No skin scars?
Manned spaceflight has very high physical requirements for astronauts, such as chronic pharyngitis, rhinitis, drug allergies, lipomas, dental caries, gray nails, etc. Most people have these small “flaws”, but not for the selection of astronauts, even skin scars, oral odor, rotten feet. feet also can not. Because the body odor in the small spacecraft will affect colleagues; and if the skin has scars, under acceleration, the scarred areas may bleed. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Pang Zhihao said: “In fact, the criteria for choosing astronauts are basically the same for men and women, so we can’t choose people with defects as astronauts because in space, the smallest defects can cause big problems or even disasters. Pang Zhihao said male and female astronauts are the same, if there are scars, in space prone to problems, because out of the cabin, the pressure in the suit is much lower, so the scar will break, of course, to the vacuum is more trouble, the general pressure of the suit is one third of the atmosphere, so there are scars prone to problems.
3. Do you need a gynecological exam?
The two selected female astronauts apparently underwent a rigorous physical and psychological examination, and can be said to be “perfect” without any defects. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
“The female astronauts selected this time obviously had to go through all of these hurdles, in addition to a gynecological exam.” The staff said.
Second, technically
In general, flight specialists (responsible for flying the spacecraft) are to be selected from fighter pilots, mission specialists can be selected from fighter or transport pilots, or they can have no flight experience but other relevant work experience and skills, and scientists can serve as load specialists for non-career astronauts Up in the sky. According to Pang Zhihao, China’s female astronauts are generally selected from transport aircraft pilots.
Three, psychologically
In addition to ruling out various diseases and abnormalities that affect function, they must also have the ability to adapt well to the special environment of spaceflight and psychological quality.
Commenting on astronauts, Pang Zhihao, a researcher at the Space Technology Research Institute affiliated with China Aerospace Science and Technology Group and executive editor-in-chief of International Space magazine, said that good psychological character of astronauts is very important, requiring boldness, not panicking when things go wrong, good at controlling emotions and being able to
Gender advantages of female astronauts
1. The latest U.S. study concluded that female astronauts have a unique advantage in terms of their physiological makeup and psychological qualities, with a more durable ability to adapt to space environments such as weightlessness, a high tolerance for loneliness, and a stable psychological profile.
2. Women have better estrogen and magnesium metabolism under weightlessness than men, so they are less likely to have blood clots, iron toxicity, vascular spasms, and heart rhythm disturbances.
3. Compared to male astronauts, female astronauts have a sharper sense, a finer heart, a sharper, more delicate, more thorough consideration of problems, more attention to ways and means of dealing with problems, and stronger verbal and communication skills,
4. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
The first time I saw a woman, I was able to get to Mars, and it’s going to be a very long journey for her, so I think it’s a good idea to pair her with a female astronaut to help ease the physiological, especially the psychological, aspects of the astronaut.
Trivia: The first woman to walk in space: Savitskaya
On July 30, 1984, Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya returned to the ground, stepping out of the cosmic seal of the Soyuz T-12. The Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya returned to Earth on July 30, 1984, emerging from the cosmic hermetic chamber of the Soyuz T-12 spacecraft, ending a 13-day space flight. During this flight, Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space and the first woman to have made two space trips.
Savitskaya has a feminine softness about her. She doesn’t like to be told that she has conquered space. She sees herself as simply being involved in a very interesting job that carries the same weight as men. She has always believed that it is wrong to refuse to open the doors of a certain profession to women. Her actions also prove: women can hold up half the sky! Savitskaya’s first flight into space came 19 years after Tereshkova’s first flight into space. Their courageous actions finally proved to the world that women can fly in space.
