On October 31st, 2009, Chinese famous scientist Qian Xuesen, died in Beijing when he was 98 years old. He is famous as “the country’s father of space technology and king of rocketry”.
Qian was born in 1911 in Hangzhou. He left for the United States after winning a schol­arship to graduate school in 1936. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute{学院) of Technology and later at the California Institute of Technology.
Qian began his career in the US and was regarded as one of the brightest minds in the new field of aeronautics{航空学) before returning to China in 1955.
After he returned, Qian set up the first missile (导弹) and rocket research institute of China. The institute later helped start Chinese space program. He led the development of China’s first nuclear-armed ballistic missile and worked on its first satellite.
