Astronauts face challenges
Astronauts face many challenges on the mission, including conducting space science and applications testing, installing protective devices, and installing additional vehicle payloads and instruments. CMSA spokesperson Lin Ziqiang said before the launch that they will carry out research and technology experiments in space science, covering a wide range of fields, including space life sciences, fundamental microgravity physics, science of space materials, space medicine and new space technologies.
when will you return
According to the China Manned Space Agency, Shenzhou-19 astronauts will return to the Dongfeng landing site in northern China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in late April or early May next year. The CMSA revealed in April that China had launched more than 130 scientific research and application projects on its space station.
