The
elegant demeanor of the hero astronaut team
The spacecraft simulation training capsule
is home of astronauts. Zhai Zhigang is in
the training capsule.
The Astronaut Team of the PLA was established
in January 1998. In the past 5 years, the astronauts
have born in mind the great trust of the people
and the Party to work hard and challenge their
physical limitation. With outstanding courage
and striking persistence, they fulfilled the
first manned space flight successfully and created
a new miracle in the space flight history.
In the past 5 years, the astronaut team has
completed 58 professional training subjects
in 8 categories including basic theory training,
physical training, adaptability training in
terms of space flight environment, psychological
training, professional technological training,
flight process and mission simulation training,
rescue and surviving training and large scale
joint maneuver. All the 14 members have met
the requirements to carry out the manned space
flight mission with outstanding performance
and realized zero elimination rate. In all the
trainings, the adaptability training in terms
of space flight environment is the hardest one.
The trainings such as super gravity adaptability
training, zero gravity flight training, impact
experience of spacecraft landing and low pressure
anoxic training are challenges to the physical
limitations of human being.
Recently, Jiang Zemin, chairman of the Central
Military Commission has awarded them the honor
of Hero Astronaut Team.
The leaders of the astronaut team devoted
themselves to the cause of manned space flight.
Shen Xingyuan, leader of the team is helping
astronaut Wu Jie to put on space suite.
At the meeting of reporting the manned space
flight engineering deeds, Yang Liwei salutes

flowers.
All astronauts are versatile. Astronaut Li

Astronaut Nie Haisheng is in the low pressure
anoxic capsule. This training simulates to lift
the trainee to 5,000 meters high at the speed
of 15 meters per second and stay there for 30
minutes in an oxygen-deficient environment.
