Timeline
Cheng Kaijia (3 August 1918 – 17 November 2018), also known as Kai Chia Cheng, was a Chinese nuclear engineer and nuclear physicist.
He was a pioneer and key figure in Chinese nuclear weapon development.
He is known as one of the founding fathers of Two Bombs, One Satellite.
Cheng was born in Wujiang, Jiangsu in 1918.
He graduated from the Department of Physics of Zhejiang University in 1941.

Cheng was a pioneer of Chinese nuclear technology and played an important role in the development of the first Chinese atomic bomb.
He first calculated out the inner temperature and pressure for an atomic bomb blast in China.
His calculation was an extremely heavy task and nearly manual, because during that time China did not have any computer or even calculator.
He also solved the mechanism of the inner explosion, which could support the design of the bomb.
He was the chief director for many nuclear weapon test fields/bases and their explosion processes.
Cheng was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.
He was also a standing member of the Science and Technology Committee, Chinese National Nuclear Industry Corporation.

In 1999, he was awarded "Two Bombs and One Satellite Meritorious Award" for his contribution on atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb.
In July 2017, Chairman Xi Jinping awarded Cheng the Order of August First, the highest military award of People's Republic of China.
He died on 17 November 2018, three months after his 100th birthday.
