China No. 16 astronauts announced in ChinaInstructions Changjing Haipeng, aerospace flight engineer Zhu Yangzhu, and experts in Gui Haizhong, Gui Haichao, wearing glasses at the press conference, will become the first astronaut in China to wear glasses.In response to whether the glasses will affect the concerns of the flying mission, Chinese experts said that the physical fitness requirements of the loading experts are relatively low, allowing mild myopia, but it will not wear glasses during the launch and return stage.
Pang Zhihao, the chief scientific communication expert of China Space Exploration Technology, introduced in an interview with the Global Times that astronauts are usually divided into three categories, namely astronaut drivers, aerospace flight engineers and carrier experts.The requirements of quality decrease in order.He pointed out that from the previous foreign situation, the physical fitness requirements of the loading experts can be relatively low, "including mild myopia, it is okay."
Sky on the glasses, but generally does not wear glasses during the launch phase and return stage."Because of the large vibration when launching and returning, there is no problem in wearing glasses after heaven."
Wang Zhen, a senior engineer of the overall technical bureau of China Manned Aerospace Engineering Office, also said thatAt the time, the medical requirements of the loading expert are different from other types of astronauts. Relatively speaking, the vision requirements of the loading expert will be a little lower, so it is okay to wear glasses.But he also pointed out that in the flight mission, especially when the rising section, the astronauts would experience the vibration of the rocket in the spacecraft.If wearing glasses may interfere with the noodle windows in the cabin, or collision may also occur. Therefore, the rising section of the astronauts in the launch task will not wear glasses.
According to the China Manned Aerospace Engineering Office, Gui Haichao was born in November 1986 and joined the Chinese government in July 2020. He is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.Gui Haichao was selected as the third batch of astronauts in China in September 2020 as an expert in loading. In June 2022, he was selected as the Shenzhou 16 manned flight mission.He is also the first aerospace officer in China.
Shenzhou XIII is the first task after the official entered the application and development stage of China Space Station, marking the comprehensive transfer of the Chinese Space Station to the normalized operation model.Shenzhou 16 will be launched at 9:31 am on Tuesday (May 30), and the three astronauts are planned to return in November this year.
