The astronaut is having meal in the spacecraft.

　　Around 10:00am on October 13, the large monitoring screen of the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center displayed the real-time scene inside the capsule of the Shenzhou VI Spacecraft.

　　In the re-entry capsule, only Astronaut Nie Haisheng could be seen sitting on a chair. What was Fei Junlong doing? Chen Bin, head designer of the space food system told the reporter that Fei was having his meal in the orbital module.

　　According to the stipulations, the two astronauts cannot have their meals at the same time, as there must be one on duty in the re-entry capsule all the time.

　　Soon the scene was switched, we could see Fei, clad in blue working suit, was floating like an angel from the re-entry capsule back into the orbital module, where he would prepare his "space lunch ".

　　Fei opened a square box, from which he took out several food bags made of aluminum foil and food cans. He put the bags into a milky-white case, which was actually a space food heater used for the first time by the Chinese astronauts in space. It can heat up the food up to 80℃ in half an hour.

　　Then Fei took out a rectangular meal tray, a spoon and a fork from a tableware case. The tray is made of magnetic material so that it can attract the spoon and fork on it to prevent them from flying away in gravity-free environment.

　　Half an hour later, a plate of sumptuous "space meal" was ready. As the pickup camera in the module was fixed at certain location, the reporter could not see clearly what kind of dishes they were. A scientific worker at my side told reporter, " In the large aluminum bag is eight-treasure rice pudding, while in the small bags are possibly beef, stir-fried chicken with chili and peanuts, and skewer-roasted pork …"

　　So they have great variety of dishes! Fei raised his spoon in front of the camera and started to enjoy his "space meal". The aroma from his dishes seemed to have wafted into the hall of the Aerospace Command and Control Center…

　　Listening to the introduction of the scientific worker and watching the scenes of the module, the reporter couldn't help admiring the wisdom and meticulousness of those scientific workers.
