乘舟向天宫 逐梦揽星河 ——神舟二十三号载人飞行任务乘组出征侧记 ■杨子凡 解放军报记者 赵倩 航天员朱杨柱(中)、张志远(右)、黎家盈在出征仪式上。新华社记者 才扬 摄 “霓裳曳广带,飘拂升天行。” 5月24日,大漠深处,弱水河畔,乳白色的长征二号F遥二十三运载火箭蓄势待发。神舟二十三号飞行任务标识上,“飞天女神”臂间扬起的飘带,让世界的目光再度聚焦于“飞天梦”的又一壮丽新篇。 这是一场青春澎湃的逐梦—— 20时18分许,以问天阁为起点,神舟二十三号载人飞行任务乘组3名航天员携手出征。指令长朱杨柱步伐豪迈而坚定,从2023年5月首次飞天,到2026年5月再赴“天宫”,他又一次踏着梦想节拍,飞向璀璨星空。 航天员张志远微笑着向通道两侧前来欢送的人们挥手致意。曾经驾驶战机飞越沙漠、巡弋海天,如今驾乘“神舟”叩问苍穹、遨游星河,首次飞天的他,眼眸中饱含着对浩瀚宇宙的无限向往。 来自香港的航天员黎家盈胸前的任务标识上,美丽的紫荆花与她灿烂的笑容交相辉映。作为载荷专家,此次太空之旅,她主要负责各类空间科学实验任务。 这是一个绚烂无比的绮梦—— “5、4、3、2、1,点火!”23时08分,神舟起,破苍穹。烈焰的光芒点亮夜空,澎湃着亿万中国人的心跳。 人群中,科幻作家刘慈欣仰望星空,为奔向宇宙的航天员们送上最美好的祝福:“我们的技术可以在太空中为人类建造出很好的生存环境,这比我此前写作时想象的还要好!相信未来的中国航天,会给我们带来更震撼的科幻场景。” 星河里,时光静静流淌。中国航天人一次次突破想象力边界的故事,比科幻作品更加生动、更加浪漫。 70年前,钱学森向中央提交《建立我国国防航空工业意见书》。1956年10月,中国第一个火箭、导弹研究机构——国防部第五研究院成立。从此,中国航天迈出了具有历史意义的第一步。 40年前,世界科技革命浪潮风起云涌,我国“863计划”诞生,航天技术被列为我国发展高科技的重点领域之一,中国航天人接续前行、加速奔跑。 10年前,“天宫二号”空间实验室、神舟十一号载人飞船接连发射,实现了中国载人航天工程“三步走”中第二步的完美收官。 这一夜,开启太空之旅的神舟二十三号载人飞行任务乘组中,一名航天员将开展1年期在轨驻留试验,中国航天员的“太空出差”时间开始迈入“年度模式”。 这是一次共赴星辰的圆梦—— 火箭的尾焰逐渐变成小小的光点,最终融入茫茫夜色。东风航天城内,无数热切的目光依旧聚焦“飞天梦”的圆心。 指控大厅中,中国航天员科研训练中心试验队的医监医保医生郭立国,仔细观察屏幕上的各项生理信号,确保3名航天员的生命健康,用实际行动践行“航天员在我心中、航天员安全在我手中”的誓言。 气象会商大厅里,此次发射任务气象系统主要负责人康林,紧盯着屏幕上的雷达图,在无声暗夜与天地“对话”,精准研判每一丝风云变幻。 发射塔架旁,平台指挥高飞实时监控发射过程。这位扎根岗位19年的老航天人说:“是时代为我们提供了托举火箭高飞的宝贵机遇。” 大树里测控区中,听到“光学、雷达跟踪正常”的报告声,测控人员尹胜刚的喜悦之情油然而生。从神舟一号到神舟二十三号,他和团队成员圆满完成每一次测控任务,也亲历了中国载人航天发展史上一个个精彩瞬间…… 大约10分钟后,飞船与火箭成功分离并进入预定轨道,发射任务取得圆满成功。 星河璀璨,征途未已;勇敢探索,热烈向前。今夜,神舟二十三号乘组承载着民族复兴的伟力与亿万人民的期盼,乘“神舟”向“天宫”,向着宇宙深处迈出愈加坚实的步伐。 (解放军报酒泉5月24日电)

Summary

Machine summary

On May 24, the Shenzhou-23 crew — commander Zhu Yangzhu (on his second spaceflight), pilot Zhang Zhiyuan, and Hong Kong payload specialist Li Jiaying — launched aboard a Long March-2F Yao-23 rocket from Jiuquan at 23:08, with one crew member designated for a one-year extended on-orbit stay that the article describes as the start of an 'annual mode' for Chinese crewed missions. The piece is PLA Daily ceremonial launch coverage; its narrow documentary value is the confirmation that China is normalizing year-long crew rotations aboard Tiangong, extending the station's operational tempo beyond the six-month cycles that characterized earlier missions.
