"From ancient times to the present, when human beings look up at the starry sky, there will always be endless imagination. The ancient Chinese never lacked the dream of traveling in the sky, from the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon to the preface of Tengwang Pavilion's emotion of "the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the universe is infinite" , From the first lunar eclipse forecast in the Northern Wei Dynasty 1500 years ago to thousands of households flying into the sky, we are both imagining and practicing; there are both successes and failures."
"Wan Hu was the first human being who wanted to walk into that starry sky. He tied 47 rockets to the seat, held up two big kites with both hands, ignited them and launched them, and fell to the ground to die. However, his own astonishing feat , became the first step for human beings to fly to the vast interstellar space."
"If they were timid because they were afraid of leaving the earth, then there would not be the Wright Brothers flying Voyager 1903 into the sky in [-], and there would be no Sputnik [-] and Advance [-] knocking on the door of the universe today."
"...It's also like the jet propulsion experiment that some friends and I did at Caltech in 1937. That accident didn't make us lose our determination to move on. Instead, we fought harder and harder, and finally JPL was born and realized our own. A childhood dream."
"Just like the name of the Chinese satellite—forward. Forward, you must not be afraid of hardships and failures. Forward is to overcome any obstacles that block your steps on the road to conquering the universe, and move forward bravely."
"I'm Qian Xuesen. I'm in China, and I've been following you and caring about you."

On the northwest side of Zhongnanhai, the auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference/National People's Congress.
The Commendation Ceremony for the successful launch of artificial satellites.
Units involved in the manufacturing, testing, and launching of launch vehicles and artificial satellites: troops at two missile/rocket test bases, troops at three warhead/load landing areas, base construction teams, duty fleets for sea launches, aerospace measurement and control radar stations, radio Representatives from tracking stations, 76 factories in the industrial sector and more than a dozen research institutes... all participated in the commendation meeting.
Those who receive certificates and medals are grassroots cadres and soldiers, and those who receive commendations in the troops are below the regiment level, and local staff are below the factory director.Tang Hua, Qian Xuesen, Commander Lao Feng of Wuliangsuhai, Commander Zhou of the Railway Corps...all said that this award should be given to ordinary cadres and soldiers.
In addition, although not named, it also includes two centers under the Defense Advanced Technology Institute: the Ballistic Missile and Launch Vehicle Research Center and the Space Vehicle Research Center.The latter was the third center established at the end of July 1957. Four months and six days after its establishment, the satellite developed by the center was successfully launched.
Boss Peng and Li Fuchun awarded medals and certificates to the advanced elements of the army and local areas respectively.
"Zhanqian-[-]'s going into space is not only the credit of those of us, but also the result of the hard work of thousands of Chinese astronauts and tens of thousands of rocket and satellite production and testing workers."
"Behind us, there are countless scientific research and technical workers, as well as more ordinary workers. They have also put in the same efforts and years as us, and with the support of [-] million people across the country, they It is our strongest backing.”
"In Wuliangsuhai, there is a Bayannaoer radar measurement and control station. I have been there once, and I know the old Gong, Shuanzi, and Xiaoliang there... There are seven people in the radar station. One month. They didn’t come to the venue, because the monitoring and control station is still needed to record satellite data.”
"In addition to the names of these ordinary and important people, there are many others whose names I cannot even name, because the very existence of them and their posts is a state secret."
Since the construction of the nuclear industry started in 1954, it has received 4 graduates and hundreds of core personnel. Except for Qian Sanqiang, the identities, work units, and locations of the people below him are all secrets.
"A few years ago, somewhere, I said this sentence: Our journey is the sea of stars. What I see today is not me alone, but an army that conquers the universe. In the long river of brilliant career, can I am honored to have you all running with me.”
"Next, please listen to "The Motherland Will Never Forget". This song is written for thousands of unsung heroes in national defense and aerospace."
That's why Tang Hua is very busy these days - every night with Zhou Xuan and Jiang Ying, training the band and choir.
"Which one am I in the vast sea of people?"
"Among the rushing waves, which one am I?"
"In the army that conquers the universe, I am the one who silently contributes"
"In the long river of brilliant career, I am the one who will always run forward"

California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Soviet representative Goncharov's speech at the UN General Assembly was like adding a handful of salt to the wounds of the American aerospace industry.Qian Xuesen's article is a propaganda from the air. Of course, the content of the article is not to sprinkle salt on the wound, but to pour a bowl of chicken soup.
chicken soup……
That's right, the chicken soup washed away the salt sprinkled by the Soviets, and the wound didn't hurt anymore, but the chicken soup was greasy, and it couldn't heal the wound when it was pasted on it.
"Forward. Forward is to overcome any obstacles that stand in your way on the way to conquer the universe, to move forward..."
William Heyward Pickering, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, repeated the phrase several times, holding on to the translated newspaper article in his hand.
"Boss, you and Qian used to be colleagues?"
"Exactly, no." Pickering returned to reality from the memory kill. "When I joined JPL in 1944, Qian had left JPL and became a legend. He, like Malina and Smith, is a JPL in prehistoric times." members, and we joined after JPL was officially registered as a company."
"Smith was the chief aerodynamic engineer at Douglas and Director Malina also left JPL for UNESCO."
Pickering: "Qian left the lab and was part of a team directly under von Karman to serve the US military. Frank Malina and I envied him back then. … Well, now we too Served the military. Now, like Qian said, let's get over any obstacles that stand in our way."
Paris France.
Frank Malina, another founder of JPL, the first director after its official establishment, and now the director of the Science Department of UNESCO, also saw the translated version of Qian Xuesen's article.
"Translate this into French, and I want you to translate it in the language of writers," Malina told the secretary, "for publication in the 1957 Annual Report of UNESCO."
Frank Malina not only quit, but also moved to Paris and never returned to the United States.The reason why he did not return to the United States was that McCarthy accused him of colluding with Russia.One of my grandparents is a Texas hillbilly American with Russia?
Malina has a stubborn temper. If he is harassed and interrogated by people from the CIA and various committees every three days, he may draw a gun and shoot someone, so he simply left the United States and never had to worry about it.
The secretary skimmed through the English version: "The writing is excellent, but he seems to be talking to some friends in the United States."
“It was some of his friends who lived in the U.S., not necessarily still in the U.S.,” Malina said. “I … was one of those few friends.”

One week after Maward-[-] was launched, there was another whirlwind of aerospace on the front pages of domestic newspapers.
"China's second satellite is expected to be launched in January, and now it is open to the people of the whole country to select the songs for the launch"
"'Jianjin-12-A' is the second artificial satellite launched by China. Except for the national anthem "March of the Volunteers", the songs played will remain unchanged, and the remaining [-] songs will be selected by readers through letter voting."
"The list of candidate song titles has been printed on the 8th page of this newspaper. The way to vote is to tick the songs you want to be included in the satellite music library, then cut out the second half of the 8th page and mail it to this newspaper newspaper."
"Voting statistics are as of December 12st. Readers are requested to send their voting letters before December 31th. Readers in remote areas are requested to send a few days in advance according to the speed of local postal delivery."
The lower part of page 8 of several mainstream nationally distributed newspapers is all exactly the same, with a playlist of 60 songs.In the front are revolutionary songs and main theme songs, and in the back there are some folk songs from all over the world.
The first song is "Dongfanghong" adapted from folk songs in northern Shaanxi.
The second song is "Singing the Motherland" with lyrics and music by Wang Xin.
The third song is "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China" by Cao Hingxing.
The fourth song is "Defend the Yellow River" by Xian Xinghai.

"Professor Zhao, you said that there are two possibilities for the failure of the radiometer on Forward One?"
The satellite also returned observation information during the cycle interval of singing, and Zhao Jiuzhang was the first to discover anomalies in the returned information.
"The number of the radiometer suddenly turned to zero. There are probably two possibilities. One is that the radiometer is broken, and the other is that the satellite has entered an area where the radiation value exceeds its range."
Zhao Jiuzhang explained his conjecture: "Since the satellite's radiation readings become zero periodically, whenever its orbit altitude is greater than 500 kilometers at the apogee, the readings become zero, and when it returns to the perigee of the elliptical orbit, it is normal again. Yes, I'm currently leaning towards the latter possibility."
Mr. Zhao's guess was very accurate.
