Participated in the Shenzhou 7 mission, awarded the second class 1, the first prize given talents army non-commissioned officers.

Xinhua Military: am very pleased to see the open cabin of Shenzhou first hand from God, a to your God seven doors are opened in person is it?

Tao: (laughs) Yes, you can proudly say, from the “one God” to “seven gods”, regardless of the cabin was no one set out on a dummy or real, are my first impulse Open up the door. Yang Liwei, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming, Jing Haipeng six space heroes return to Earth after space travel, see the first people on earth is my.

open space is a technical job

Xinhua Military: So how do you open the compartment was determined to be a hand-it?

Tao: Shenzhou mission, I and another teammate was designated as open space hand, was assigned to the five branches of professional learning space.

I understand through the study, the capsule after landing, the astronauts can successfully open the door to go home, is an important part of overall mission success. Must take on the dark was determined to open the cabin technology to learn, learned it, and thoroughly.

while I carefully read the instructions and drawings, while repeatedly fathom door structure and mechanical principles, take the initiative to ask the master difficult problems, proficiency in the use of open space tools.

Xinhua Military: What are the technical needs of open space? Main effort or technical job family?

Tao: it should be said that technical job. One said to open the door, some people may think that is very simple, not that ran up, remove the key, pointing to a screw inserted into the keyhole to open the thing not to. In actual fact, the spacecraft is not so good to open the door.

common open space is not the key tool, it is a special tool. Open space tools into the keyhole to be very accurate, can not be plugged in immediately after the turn, need to balance the cabin through the outside air pressure valve, or door is not open.

balance the air pressure outside the cabin is not too fast, too fast, the body once the astronauts suited up; too slow, astronauts will delay the time. Therefore, in order to become a qualified open the spacecraft cabin hand, must go through professional learning and rigorous training.

Xinhua military: you usually have to carry out what training?

Tao: In order to practice opening the tank, field area in Inner Mongolia, we focused on heat, cold, sunny, Yu Xuetian, cabin level, dumping and other conditions for the training of thousands of times to simulate the capsule made of steel bolt are we practicing broken. We see from the TV screen to open the door of the images are smooth, we certainly can not think, if the door fails, the deformation can not open how to do? To this end, we also prepared a back bay door with the same materials and special tools, for the unusual circumstances of the open space training.

Yang at me thumbs

Xinhua Military: seven open space experience, your most impressive is which one?

Tao: In seven open space experience, I remember the thing October 16, 2003, the implementation of the “Shenzhou V” scenario. Day at 5 am sharp, we check the air search and rescue squad personnel, five helicopters into the sky, standby after 20 minutes to reach the airspace, was V-shaped lineup, waiting in the sky, 6:23 listen bang , push the capsule anti-ignition engine, a safe landing.

I thought training a thousand days, military force in 1:00, now see our friends. When the helicopter from the ground there is a meter, I would take up 40 kg of equipment could not wait to jump off a plane and into the capsule. In accordance with operating procedures, quickly and accurately opened the door, saw the first flight hero Yang Liwei.

see him waving to me, smiling and thumbs-up! Difficult to suppress my excitement, can not help but say to him simply: “Welcome to Triumph!”

because he was wearing space suits, with helmets, incomprehensible languages, reached out to me off on the to the left hand glove.

I quickly stretched out his right hand and his hand in together!

as a soldier, I really never dreamed I could, and heroes return flight after a handshake, the Chinese nation’s dream of the millennium, will be in our hands to achieve. The mood was really no words to express.

God seven open space so I was shocked Chuyishenhan

Xinhua Military: God seven open space in the process of what story?

Tao: September 28, 2008, “Shenzhou VII” recovery when I take the “Eagle” while commanding the helicopter and return capsule landed, I rushed to the scene, according to the procedures first plugged in open space tools, and then 2 minutes of decompression, turning tools, doors failed to open.

this has never happened before, for a time my heart tense, hands tremble a bit. Then, hastily conducted a vacuum, turn the tool again, or not open. This time the presence of people anxious, I was anxious a sweat.

this time, I thought quickly Lile, remove door deformation failure to determine because of the pressure outside the cabin is not completely balanced. They cheer on their own in the heart, deep breath, do not panic. So I took a deep breath, stabilize mood, again the decompression, the door finally opened. Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming, Jing Haipeng three extravehicular astronauts safe, on-site applause, thunderous cheers.

everyone rushing to shake my hand

Xinhua Military: Your home is where? Your home and certainly in the “celebrity” now!

Tao: October 17, 2005 morning, the “Shenzhou VI” spacecraft safe landing. I climbed to the top of the capsule, in accordance with operational procedures, fast and safe to open the door; then and another team member on board the platform, leaning on charges Junlong and Nie Haisheng emerged from the capsule. This scene was carried live on China Central Television, was also the home of relatives and friends to see. For a time, I ship things in the home spread. Old father, also specifically called me, praise me to fight face family friends, encouraged me to work hard. Usually have been reticent, he filed a Shenzhou spacecraft in the village on clearly and logically, that forever, to go from the road also becomes more lively than ever!

Xinhua military: that this work is to bring you a sense of satisfaction.

Tao: Yes, I am most satisfied when, in addition to other tasks successfully, that is the end of each mission, come back. The train, everyone is rushing to shake my hand, they say, and I shake hands on equal and space to shake hands with a hero! Every time I hear these words, my heart felt extremely beautiful it.

each visit back home, the village chief invited me to be home to eat, let me also back to his alma mater for the students to talk about the spaceship thing. It is worth mentioning that the day before participating in the Central Seven, “Military Cultural Perspective” part of the program recording, I again saw the space hero Yang Liwei, Zhai Zhigang, we not only had a “second handshake”, as well as the closely hug!

Xinhua military: How do you get the honor today?

Tao: I think they are soiled with the Shenzhou spacecraft light, get some honor, in fact, I’m just in a special position to do a bit of their own should do it.

Xinhua military: Thank you for the interview.
