Chang Jin read out the asteroid naming bulletin and naming certificate, and awarded the certificate, bulletin and orbital map bronze medal to Beijing Institute of Technology. Zou Hu introduced the discovery process and orbital operation of Beiligong. Academician Zhang Jun, secretary of the party committee of BIT, together with the hero astronauts and colleagues in the scientific community who were invited to the ceremony, jointly unveiled the bronze medal for the naming of the "Beiligong".
On behalf of BIT, Zhang Jun expressed his heartfelt thanks to the National Astronomical Observatory team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who discovered the "Beiligong" and the guests who cared about and supported the development of BIT. Zhang Jun said that Beijing Institute of Technology, as the first science and engineering university founded by the Communist Party of China, has insisted on educating people for the Party and the country since its establishment 82 years ago, and has created a large number of "national key weapons", providing a steady stream of talents and intellectual support for socialist modernization. In recent years, BIT has continued to accelerate the construction of "Double First-Class", set a "new benchmark" for high-quality training, achieved "new leap" through high-level innovation, forming a "new gathering" of high-level talents, reaching a "new height" in open education, and creating a "new atmosphere" in an all-round way. The "fast track" of high-quality development has stepped into a more challenging "new stage" of high-quality development. On the occasion of the 82nd anniversary of the founding of the school, which is also a key moment to welcome the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the naming of "Beiligong" is of great significance. Walking at extreme speed in the vast universe, "Beiligong" represents the spirit of BITers who are brave to explore, pursue excellence, and never stop. It will be like a "bright light", guiding and urging BITers to explore the unknown universe and embrace the wider world. Based on the new stage of development, BIT will concentrate and work hard, devote itself to the practice of building a world-class university rooted in China, and welcome the victory of the 20th Party Congress with excellent results of high-quality development!
So, the question is, why can an asteroid be named after Beijing Institute of Technology?
Don't worry, BIT official Wechat account will answer it for you~
BIT was born in Yan'an in 1940.
It is the first science and engineering university founded by the Communist Party of China. It has been one of the key universities in the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China,
andhas created many "firsts"
in the history of science and technology in New China.
The name of "Beiligong" is to commemorate the development of thefirst large-scale planetarium in New China by BIT and its contribution to the pre-research of the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST).
"Beiligong" located between Jupiter and Mars, with an orbital period of 4.18 years, was discovered on April 2, 1997, at the Xinglong Observatory by the Schmidt CCD asteroid project team of the National Astronomical Observatory
The asteroid's name "Beiligong"
has a special meaning
One is the international permanent number "9442" with the first two digits "94",which means Beijing Institute of Technology was born in Yan'an in 1940; the second is the last two digits "42" of the international permanent number "9442", and the date of asteroid discovery on April 2, 1997.On April 2, 1988, Beijing Institute of Technology was renamed on April 2, 1988.
Vast space, bright galaxy
"Beiligong", shining in the sky
Eighty-two years of wind and rain
The red gene is deeply embedded
Planets move around day and night
Just like the never-ending striving footsteps of the Beijing Institute of Technology
The star is immortal, the light is dazzling
Just like the spirit of the BITers shining brightly
BIT has been striving to explore the world
Bright stars are the courage of BITers to be the first in the world
Development of New China's first two-stage solid sounding rocket
Development of New China’s first large-scale planetarium
Growing out of nothing, opening the road of "expanding the sky"
New China's first large-scale planetarium
New China's first two-stage solid sounding rocket
A large number of BIT's wisdom shines in the vast universe
The docking technologyof the BIT has provided strong technical support for the previous "Kiss in Space"
The "flying into the sky" of the"live broadcast"Long March rocket helped China open the era of"space VR",
to achieveclose detection of small objects,
launchingChina's "Sailball" satellite,
to carry out space life science experiments in space
........
Generations ofBIT aerospace researchers
have been striving for self-improvement and continuous struggle,
always fighting in the front line of aerospace,
and contributing BIT power to the development of aerospace
with Chinese characteristics.
Shoulder the mission of aerospace power
Forge ahead on a great journey
The self-improving BITers
are unswervingly determined and continue to struggle
In the name of "Beiligong", the galaxy will shine forever!
