Chinese authorities launched a Long March 2F launch vehicle with three taikonauts on board as part of the Shenzhou 15 mission on Tuesday, November 29.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Space.com.
The launch was carried out at 17:08 Kyiv time from the Jiuquan Cosmodrome.
Astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu are expected to arrive at the Chinese space station approximately 6 hours after the launch of the launch vehicle and remain in Tiangong for about six months as part of the space mission.
It was noted that the taikonauts of the Shenzhou 15 mission will meet in Tiangong with three colleagues, who are crew members of the Shenzhou 14 mission, which was sent into space in early June.
For the first time for China, the taikonauts of both missions will be on their respective space stations at the same time. However, this meeting will be short-lived.
The taikonauts of the Shenzhou 14 mission are expected to return to Earth in the coming days.
As Ukrinform reported, on Monday (October 31st), China successfully launched the last module of the Tiangong space station.
