China Tiangong space mission successfully launches a three-person crew, marking a new chapter in China’s space exploration efforts...
Three Chinese astronauts including the country's only woman spaceflight engineer blasted off on a"dream" mission to the Tiangong space station in the early hours of Wednesday.
Among the crew is Wang Haoze, 34, China's only female spaceflight engineer, according to the China Manned Space Agency . She is the third Chinese woman to take part in a crewed mission. Xinhua said the spaceship would later perform a"fast, automated rendezvous and docking with the front port of the space station core module Tianhe" to combine three modules and three spacecraft.Headed by Cai Xuzhe, the team will return to Earth in late April or early May next year, CMSA Deputy Director Lin Xiqiang said at a separate press event ahead of the launch.
The aerospace veteran added that the crew was now"fully prepared mentally, technically, physically and psychologically" for the mission ahead.The crew currently aboard the Tiangong space station is scheduled to return to Earth on November 4 after completing handover procedures with the incoming astronauts, Lin said.Its space programme was the third to put humans in orbit and has also landed robotic rovers on Mars and the Moon.
The Shenzhou-19 crew's time aboard Tiangong will see them carry out various experiments, including some involving"bricks" made from components imitating lunar soil, CCTV reported. The Shenzhou-19 mission is primarily about"accumulating additional experience", Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the United States, told AFP.
