China set for Shenzhou-20 spaceflight launch

China set for Shenzhou-20 spaceflight launch

The Hindu
Wednesday, April 23, 2025 10:25 AM GMT

China to launch Shenzhou-20 mission with three astronauts to Tiangong space station, conducting experiments and preparing for future missions.

China is set to launch its Shenzhou-20 mission that will carry three astronauts to the Chinese space station Tiangong at 5.17 p.m. on April 24 local time (0917 GMT), state media said on Wednesday.

The main purpose of the mission is to complete the in-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou-19 crew which is scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site on April 29, China Manned Space Agency officials said at a press conference broadcast on CCTV.

The Shenzhou-20 spaceflight from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China will carry astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie, CCTV said.

The spaceflight will be Chen Dong’s third and the first for the other two - a space engineer and a former air force pilot.

They will conduct space science and application experiments, install a space debris protection device as well as extravehicular payload and equipment, and perform recovery tasks.

The mission will also bring with it zebrafish, planarians and streptomyces as research objects to carry out three life science experiments at the space station.

The crew, scheduled to return to the earth in late October, can expect a resupply mission via the unmanned Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft.
