There are two days left. Shenzhou 15 will be launched to send the fourth batch of crews to of my country's space station. By then, the six astronauts will change shifts in space for the first time and will be in orbit for a period of time at the same time. However, who is the three-person crew of Shenzhou 15? It is not known at this time. According to convention, astronauts will meet with everyone two days before launch, that is, the answer may be announced on Monday morning. Taking advantage of this time difference, we might as well guess it first.
Shenzhou 15 spacecraft has made all preparations
Generally speaking, the configuration of my country's astronauts crew is "two old people bring one new", that is, two astronauts who have been to space, bring one new person, and the one with the richest experience is the commander. However, at present, the first phase of the space station project in orbit has been basically completed. On Shenzhou 16, the third batch of astronauts will be selected. Among the first batch of astronauts, there is also Deng Qingming and that has not yet entered space, and the second batch is only Zhang Lu and the new ones are still. It is not ruled out that the possibility of Shenzhou 15 letting them both go this time, that is, "one old leads two new ones."
Deng Qingming's chances this time are very likely to be on
In fact, when the US and Russian spacecraft were launched, they often use the "old and two new" crew configuration. For example, when the "Association" MS-19 was launched on October 5, 2021, the commander was Anton Shkaprirov, who had three space flight experience, and brought two newcomers Krem Spenko and Yulia Berehir who had never been to space. One of them is a director and the other is a beautiful actress. He completed the filming of the movie "Challenge" on International Space Station .
International Space Station astronauts and Soyuzhan MS19 took the combined movie
, and the same was true for the "Soviet" MS-20 launched on December 8 of that year. Russian astronauts with experience in space flights took Japanese tycoon Tomosaku Maezawa and his assistant Yangzo Hirano to enter the International Space Station. SpaceX's 's "Dragon" spacecraft was even more "one old and three new" in the "Axiom One" flight mission carried out on April 8 this year. Only one person in the crew had been to space, and the other three were new.

Not only that, with the close completion of the first phase of my country's space station project, the most important task of " Tiangong " is to conduct experiments in space, which requires professional scientists to go up, that is, payload experts. They generally have never been to space. The international practice is to be a professional astronaut, plus two payload experts or ship engineers. If we do this in the future, it is not ruled out that Shenzhou No. 15 will first try this time so that more seats will be left to load experts in the future and realize the maximum value of the space station.
Shenzhou 15th is very likely to bring two new ones this time
Of course, whether it is Deng Qingming or Zhang Lu, their qualities and achievements in all aspects are as excellent as other astronauts, but sometimes what they lack is opportunities. As for the command leader of Shenzhou No. 15, according to the original "seven-choice three" principle, there are five people, Yang Liwei, Fei Junlong, Liu Wang, , Zhang Xiaoguang, and Jing Haipeng. First of all, Yang Liwei was ruled out because he had appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show before, which meant that he did not participate in more than a year of closed training.
Yang Liwei participated in the 2022 Zhuhai Air Show
Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng participated in the Shenzhou VI mission together. At that time, he was the commander and Nie Haisheng was the assistant. Liu Wang and Zhang Xiaoguang participated in the Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 missions respectively. Jing Haipeng is the assistant of Shenzhou 7 , the commander of Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 11, and has the most experience. Therefore, the commander of Shenzhou No. 15 is either Jing Haipeng or Fei Junlong. What do you think? If you guess right or wrong, let's wait and see.
