The mission control center seems to be named "Shuguang" - if I heard correctly from the narrator - which is meaningful.

What's the meaning, for non-Chinese speakers?

"In April 1971, the Chinese political leadership officially approved the human spaceflight plan (Project 714), including the development of a two-man space capsule (Shuguang 1) and the training of astronauts, with an unmanned flight test in 1972 followed by a manned mission in 1973."
