China's Shenzhou-19 to conduct 86 space experiments, bricks from lunar soil to be tested in space
JIUQUAN, China - China sent three astronauts on Wednesday to its permanently inhabited space station, where they will conduct dozens of scientific experiments, some related to the construction of human habitats.
One of these experiments is expected to involve exposing bricks made from simulated lunar soil to conditions in space. Should the tests prove successful, the bricks could be a key material used in the construction of a permanent lunar research station. The fast development of China's manned and unmanned space program has alarmed the United States, which has encountered issues with its own crewed spaceflights.
Lin added that Shenzhou-20 and its carrier rocket were on standby and ready to perform an emergency rescue mission if necessary.Since the launch of Shenzhou-14 in June 2022, Shenzhou missions have involved trios of astronauts and six-month stays in space, with an overlap period of several days where the departing crew hands over the station to the newly arrived group. The Shenzhou-19 crew is expected to return to Earth next year in April or May.
As Tiangong approaches its second anniversary, China's focus has now turned to the goal of achieving a manned landing on the moon by 2030. In May, China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe was launched from the island province of Hainan and successfully returned a month later.
