Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, ChinaWed Oct 30 2024
Get ready for an exciting space adventure! China is about to launch a new crew to their Tiangong space station. Among the three astronauts is China's only female spaceflight engineer, Wang Haoze. She's 34 and full of dreams! The team will perform experiments to help China's goal of landing on the Moon by 2030. They'll even test how bricks made from Moon-like material hold up in space. Cai Xuzhe, a former air force pilot, leads the team. He's been to space before and is ready for new challenges. Song Lingdong, also 34, completes the crew. They'll spend about six months in space, taking over from the current crew. China's space program has big plans, like building a Moon base. This mission is about learning new things, even if it's not a big breakthrough. It's like practicing for a big test. China has already done amazing things, like landing on the Moon's far side and Mars.
