"All numbers, this is Beijing。According to the flight control work arrangement, the "Tianwen 1" Mars probe will be in Beijing time..."As the chief dispatch of "Tianwen No. 1" in Beijing, Bao Shuo, an undergraduate alumnus of Beijing Institute of Technology in 2014, is issuing instructions to "Tianwen No. 1"。In 2020, "Tianwen 1" has opened the door of China's planetary exploration, and through a launch, it will achieve Mars orbit, landing, and patrol exploration, which is the world's first model and China's first deep space exploration in the true sense。

As the only link between heaven and earth, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center is the command and dispatch, analysis and calculation, flight control, data processing and information exchange center of China's manned spaceflight and deep space exploration. All data will be collected here, all instructions are issued from here, and emergency decisions are finally made here。Bao Shuo has become the first female chief dispatcher of the center in the past 40 years with her outstanding scientific research strength and quick adaptability。

Double "Beijing general dispatch"

"Tianwen No. 1" mission is not Bao Shuo's first show, she was previously responsible for the "Chang 'e 5" mission scheduling。As one of the central dispatchers, Bao Shuo, born in 1992, sat on the dispatch desk, commanding if set, ordering eight。It looks beautiful to others, but she doesn't think so。

"Scheduling is actually like the 'big steward' of tasks."。In the task preparation stage, we need to contact dozens of units, formulate various work plans, and organize each unit to carry out program design, software research and development, hardware integration, job training, joint testing and so on。"Bao Shuo explained。"Dispatch" position information, big responsibility。It is required that post personnel should not only be familiar with various procedures, systems, technical plans and emergency plans, grasp the processes and responsibilities between various posts and systems, but also have the ability to flexibly deal with emergencies。

One of the characteristics of Mars exploration is that there are many key controls, such as deep space maneuver and near-fire acquisition, which require a specific time window。Her flight control team broke through a series of key technologies, able to accurately know the location of the "Tianwen 1" and maintain contact with it through the monitoring and control station;At the same time, they also have a name for each command action, in order to accurately give the "Tianwen 1" command。

Another major feature of Mars exploration is the distance, the previous lunar exploration of the farthest about 380,000 kilometers, while the farthest distance of Mars exploration is about 400 million kilometers。Sending a command to Tianq 1 takes about 44 minutes to get a response。In many cases, the ground personnel cannot judge the current status of Tianwen 1 in real time。Therefore, on the basis of fully considering the influence of light travel time, she and her team members effectively separated the ascending order from the state judgment to ensure the accuracy of the judgment。

Superwoman with a high-performance CPU processor

"Once in the flight control hall, she was like a changed person, became Iron Man, can not drink water for a long time, do not eat, do not rest.。This is the unanimous evaluation of Bao Shuo by colleagues。In order to maintain physical strength, she insisted on getting up at 5 a.m. every morning to run。While on duty 24 hours a day, she used the rest of her time to exercise。

During the implementation of the "Chang 'e-5" mission, because the lunar surface work should be completed within the scheduled 48 hours, in order to continue to stick to it, Bao Shuo secretly made preparations a month before the mission。She deliberately reduced her sleep time, sleeping only three hours a day, and controlled sleeping every other day for two weeks before the mission。"I hope I can keep my mind clear even with less sleep.。Make sure you get the job done in 48 hours on the moon。Bao Shuo admitted that the first few days would be too sleepy to endure, but then slowly got used to it。

"I am Beijing", these four words for Bao Shuo, is a great recognition, but also a heavy responsibility。A scheduler, like a high-performance CPU processor, not only needs to collect a lot of information, but also quickly distinguish priorities, efficient processing, a little hesitation may affect the safety of the spacecraft。"Many times, in the face of phone calls and scheduling ringing at the same time, it is particularly important to grasp the entire process and the ability to respond to emergencies.。Bao Shuo believes that scheduling is not only a signal instruction, but also a deep understanding and accurate grasp of the task。

From the glorious Beili worker to the spaceman

In 2010, Bao Shuo was admitted to the Beijing Institute of Technology with excellent results as an undergraduate majoring in information countermeasure technology。During the four years of study and life in school, Bao Shuo worked hard and made clear the research direction he was interested in early。"I was most impressed by Academician Wang Yue's class。In the class, the profound and humorous lectures of the old gentleman gave me a deeper understanding of my professional knowledge and research field. Meanwhile, I was deeply influenced by his patriotism and dedication to serving the country, which guided me to make unremitting efforts for the research direction I love。From a student of the Beijing Institute of Technology to a front-line astronaut who takes on a heavy responsibility, Bao Shuo is constantly learning and exploring step by step under the infiltration of the spirit of the North Institute of Technology。

"The world is like a furnace, and man is like firewood.。When we can burn, there is one thing, one cause that we want to fight for and pay for, I think we are lucky。In the Spring Festival of 2021, although he was not able to reunite with his family, he was guarding the "Tianask No. 1" New Year, and Bao Shuo felt very happy。

Exploring the vast space, developing the space industry, and building a space power are our unremitting pursuit of the space dream。In the field of space, there are many alumni of the Beijing Institute of Technology who are as determined to struggle as Bao Shuo, and they are lighting up the space industry of the motherland with the fire of youth。Sincerely wish every worker of Beili to go to the vast space bravely。
