China will send 3 astronauts into space today: will stay in the new space station for 6 months, launching at 8.38 pm

Along with land and sea, China is increasing its supremacy in space as well. Today the Chinese Space Agency CMSA will send three astronauts into space. They will be launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 8.38 pm Indian time. This is the 15th flight to fly under the Shenzhou mission.

Astronauts will stay in the space station for 6 months

Astronauts being sent to space include Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu. Junlong Commander has been appointed for this mission. The crew will spend 6 months in China's new Tiangong Space Station. This space station located in the lower orbit of the earth is still in the construction stage. According to CMSA, the station is in the final stage and will be completely ready soon.

This is the third crew to go to the space station

The space agency is sending a crew to the new space station for the third time. Earlier in June, three astronauts have gone to the station. In the next week, he will return after handing over the work to the new crew. CMSA says that the third crew will be the last crew of the construction phase. After this, welcoming the Tianzhou-6 cargo ship and Shenzhou-16 spaceship, this crew will also return in May 2023.

Big success for Tiangong Station China

After the construction of Tiangong is completed by the end of this year, China will become the first country in the world to have its space station. Tiangong, launched in 2021, will have a life of 10 years. At this time it is a big success for China because, at the end of this decade, the time will come for the International Space Station (ISS) to retire. The ISS was built by Russia in collaboration with several countries. It is believed that Tiangong will become its big competitor.

China will send astronauts to the moon as well

CMSA has announced that China will soon send a man to the moon. For this, research and development work is going on on things like new spaceships, rockets, moon landers, and spacesuits. This statement is coming when America recently sent the first test flight for its human moon mission 'Artemis'.

Let us tell you that earlier China sent missions to the moon without humans. It consists of the Yutu-2 rover and Change 5, which went to the moon and collected pictures and rocks.
