The China Manned Space Engineering Office recently announced that it has recently started the selection of China's fourth batch of reserve astronauts. It is the first time that the country has included Hong Kong and Macau. Two of the "load experts" will be Hong Kong and Macau residents.
In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, Ye Chenghui, said that this is a rare opportunity, and the staff in the hospital are very eager to participate in the election. At present, about 10 qualified persons in ASTRI have expressed their intention to participate in the selection. Some majors study engineering subjects, with electronic engineering accounting for the most, and physics subjects as well.
He believes that those who have experience in applied technology will have an advantage.
The China Manned Space Engineering Office announced the day before yesterday (2nd) that a total of 12 to 14 reserve astronauts will be selected this time, including 7 to 8 space pilots, 5 to 6 space flight engineers and payload experts, of which 2 are payload experts. around the name.
The applicant must be a Hong Kong permanent resident with a doctorate degree and professional experience in a relevant professional field for not less than three years.
10 people intend to select more than half of Hong Kong-born students to study engineering
In an interview with "Hong Kong 01" today (4th), Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, Ye Chenghui, said that at present, about 10 qualified persons in ASTRI have expressed their intention to participate in the selection, half of them were born in Hong Kong, half were born in the Mainland and then They come to Hong Kong to study courses or work and become Hong Kong permanent residents. Most of them take doctoral courses in engineering subjects, with electronic engineering accounting for the most, and physics subjects. ASTRI does not study psychology and There are only a small number of people who study chemistry, so less relevant people are involved.

Ye Chenghui said that the staff of ASTRI are very eager to participate in the selection. "Everyone in the world may have a chance to go to space. Everyone is very excited." It is mentioned that payload experts have to do a lot of research on applied technology in their responsibilities. The Academy of Sciences also does a lot of related work on weekdays, so many employees studying engineering hope to take this opportunity to go to space.
There are nearly 100 doctoral students in ASTRI. Ye Chenghui pointed out that after screening the students based on their age, three years of experience, and having a doctorate degree, they held talks with them and found that most of them were willing to select them, but some of them were not. Some were unable to participate due to myopia, height and other issues, and some said they would discuss with their families again.
A rare opportunity for Hong Kong people to suddenly come from no space dream
He mentioned that in fact, most people never thought that they would aim to become astronauts, adding that "Hong Kong does not seem to have a big opportunity", but suddenly there is a chance to become a "load expert" and go to space, which is a rare opportunity. , so excited.
Ye Chenghui also mentioned that the qualified list will be handed over to the state for selection. In the past, there were about 10,000 applicants for the position of "loading expert", so the competition was very fierce. It is estimated that there will be no more than 1,000 qualified people, and the chances of being selected are higher than those of the mainland's "one in ten thousand".

He pointed out that since there may be a lot of instrumental experiments in space, and materials will be extracted for research and brought back to Earth, if you have experience in applied technology, you will have an advantage, but he also mentioned that even if there are hundreds of people, it is not easy to choose one. , thinks that we should deal with it in a normal way, "Everyone wants to go, but if you can't do it, you can choose it." ASTRI has
a lot of experience in applied science and technology research, and there are also communication and flat conductors. He is familiar with the entire process of applied technology research. Ye said, "Sampling goes from a project to an innovative idea, and then to using instruments to do experiments." He believes that there will be certain advantages.
