Shi Yaoxin, 28, Beijing
I'm a rocket designer at the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Yan Zihan, 14, Shenzhen
I have been curious about the universe（宇宙）since I was a child.
Yan: What do you do as a rocket designer?
Shi: My job has two parts: One is working at the Beijing headquarters（总部）and the other is carrying out launch missions（发射任务）at the launch site. In Beijing, I need to read materials about rocket design and come up with structural design. When doing launch missions at the launch site, I need to follow the steps to make sure that the product meets the design needs.
Yan: How many times have you taken part in China's manned space missions?
Shi: In 2021, I became a rocket designer. I have taken part in three launch missions. In the Shenzhou 14 mission, for example, I did part of the final rocket check work. In the Shenzhou 16 mission, I saw the first Chinese civilian travel to space.
Yan: ▲
Shi: I think that is a strong safety awareness. In the world of rocket making, being very careful is really important. So we always have a Plan B. When people are going up into space in rockets, we can't make any mistakes because we can't put their lives in danger. It's a job where we have to be perfect all the time.
Yan: How do you make a balance between work and life?
Shi: Although there is high pressure（压力）at work, laughter and joy still fill our offices. On weekends, I enjoy mountain climbing with friends. And many designers like to do sports, such as playing basketball or tennis after work.
Yan: How did you get this job?
Shi: I studied aeronautical engineering in college. I got this job through campus recruitment（招聘）. You can apply for the job by sending your
resume to the official websites of aerospace companies.
