China has just launched a new three-person mission to complete work on an unfinished space station.
On Sunday, three Chinese astronauts or tycoons arrived at the Tiangong Space Station and completed the assembly of the main module of the Tiangong Space Station.
The Shenzhou 14 spacecraft carrying three big names lifted off from the Kyusen satellite launch center in the Gobi desert on Saturday and collided with a Chinese space station module called Tiangong.
Commander Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Kai Xu will spend about six months at the 16.6-meter-long Tianwa Space Center.
Liu Yang made history in 2012 and became the first Chinese woman in space during the Shenzhou 9 mission to the nation.
While in orbit, the crew must conduct an EVA and prepare the station for the arrival of two additional experimental modules called the Ventian and Mentian.
One of the modules will be released next month and the other will continue in October. Space.com reports that the two modules will be mounted on opposite sides of the main Tianhe module, creating a T-shaped station that is smaller than the International Space Station (ISS).
According to Chinese space officials, the crew will carry out educational activities and install new equipment inside and outside Tenwa.
Shenzhou 14 is the third manned mission to the space station in China since the launch of the Tenwa module in April 2021. The latest crew will greet the Shenzhou 15 crew at the station later this year and make their first performance at the station. . Catch 6 people.
In January, China assured the world that a new space station would be completed this year.
What is Tianhe?
Tenwa, which means “Harmony of the Sky”, is the first module of the Tiangong Space Station that entered orbit on April 29, 2021. This was the first launch of China’s Manned Space Program, the final stage of the Tiangong program.
Once the construction in Tiangu is completed, the country plans to launch the Xuntian telescope module in 2023.
In 2018, China’s space station collided dangerously with Earth. A few months ago, Beijing’s Tiangong-1 satellite burned up in the upper South Pacific after spending months in a death spiral.
