Previously, according to Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space project, shenzhou-12 flight crew was selected from the first and second groups of astronauts. Aiming at the characteristics of the first group of astronauts of older age, the astronauts system scientifically improves the training intensity and continuously improves their adaptability in space. Three astronauts of Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft will be the first "occupancy personnel" of the sky and core cabin. They will stay on orbit for 3 months, and carry out a series of operations such as maintenance outside the cabin, equipment replacement and scientific application load.

This is the third time Nie Haisheng, born in September 1964, landed in space.

"In 1964, I was born in a small village in Yanglong Town, Zaoyang City, Hubei Province. There were many brothers and sisters in my family, but my parents tried every means to let me study. Once, the tuition fee paid to the teacher turned out to be a rabbit," Nie Haisheng once wrote in a autobiographical article. "When I graduated from high school in 1983, I caught up with the air force recruitment, and I signed up with the idea of having a try, I didn't expect all the examinations and physical examinations passed smoothly. ".

According to Zaoyang municipal government's official website, Nie Haisheng enlisted in the air force Changchun Flight College (now Air Force Aviation University) in June 1983 after graduating from high school. He once served as the navigation director of a division and regiment of the air force. He flew over the J-5, J-6, J-7 and other aircraft, flying safely for 1480 hours. He was a special class pilot of the air force. In January 1998, he officially became the first batch of Chinese astronauts.

According to CCTV. Com: in March, 1998, after screening at various levels, the first 14 astronauts who were strictly selected began to train. In the past four years, it is very challenging for astronauts to complete the hard training of basic theory, physique, psychology, space environment endurance and adaptability, aerospace professional technology, life saving and survival, etc.

Nie Haisheng recalled that he was a bit hard at theoretical study. He left the campus for more than 10 years, like preparing for the college entrance examination, studying day and night. His home became his study room. The living room was filled with learning materials everywhere, and even the wall was filled with notes on his back. His wife and daughter also became his English tutor, and took turns to correct his pronunciation and dictation.

On October 12, 2005, on the day of Shenzhou 6 launch, a heavy snow suddenly came, which surprised many people. Niejielin, niehaisheng's wife, said in an interview that the moment when she saw the snow was caught. But the snow did not cause special psychological fluctuation. He recalled that "on the day of the March, we were calm as a normal" business trip ", and the heart rate remained at about 70 times a minute. When the rocket rose, I and Junlong's hands were held together. The second day of flying into space, it happened to be my 41st birthday. Due to the tight schedule of work, the night before last, the mission headquarters specially arranged for my wife and daughter to talk to me from heaven and earth. My daughter sang a birthday song for me, and my wife also sent me blessings, which made me spend an unforgettable space birthday. "

In July, 2011, Nie Haisheng was promoted to the rank of major general.

Two years later, in April 2013, Nie was selected as the Shenshi flight crew. In the command, it also undertakes the operation task of hand control rendezvous and docking. In the history of manned space flight in China, the two arduous tasks are undertaken by the same person for the first time. Before the task, Nie Haisheng had more than 2000 ground simulation training.

With the flying God 10, niehaisheng has become the oldest astronaut to fly to space in China, and also the first Chinese astronaut to enter space as a general.

Eight years later, Nie Haisheng, 57, landed in space again on Shenzhou 12“ There are more astronauts at the age of fifty and sixty years old abroad! " Nie Haisheng once said, "space is magical, and space life is wonderful. Human space carrying is of great significance in politics, economy, science and technology. But even if these factors are not considered, it is only for flying sky to be the yearning of our ancestors for thousands of years, only for us to be an ancient nation with a long history of 5000 years, and Chinese people should also occupy a place in the vast space. "

Wang Yaping, a female astronaut who carried out the Shenshi mission with Nie Haisheng, once commented, "elder martial brother NIE is stable and down-to-earth in my eyes. He is a very trustworthy person. He has very strict requirements for himself. He must do what he requires us to do. Give me the feeling, elder brother NIE is our group of fixed sea god needle, as long as he is in, we are very solid in our hearts. ".
