While millions watch Wang Yaping deliver China's first lecture from space, she will be assisted by her two fellow crew members. The lecture will see both male crew members perform duties beyond what their main specific tasks are.
As Wang Yaping speaks to millions of Chinese from space, Commander Nie Haisheng will be busy performing his duty as her teaching assistant.
In an enclosed space more than 300 kilometers above Earth, Commander Nie Haisheng will be ensuring Wang Yaping is able to deliver her lecture without any hindrance. The veteran of two space missions, he will ensure no instruments float around in the zero gravity of space and impact the normal flight of the spacecraft. At the same time, Nie will also be in touch with ground control to tackle any emergency. He will use a dedicated earphone for the purpose.
Zhang Xiaoguang, the back-up commander and space docking specialist will be Wang Yaping's cameraman during the broadcast. A photography fan, he spent some time learning good camerawork from professional TV cameramen while on Earth. But keeping his camera steady and stable in a gravity free environment will be a big challenge for him. To overcome that problem, Zhang will secure himself to the space station wall and then hold the camera to shoot the lecture. So through most of the lecture, the audience will only see his back.
And as the clock counts down to China's first space class, millions of young Chinese wait with bated breath to see for themselves, what life in space means. Something that is sure to be a once in a lifetime experience for most.
