Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Just the facts about Shenzhou XIV mission
The Tiangong space station is a space station being constructed by China in a low Earth orbit around 400 km above the surface. Once completed, it’ll be about one-fifth the mass of the International Space Station. Since the first core module was launched in April 2021, multiple missions were sent and on June 5, the second team of three crew members arrived at the core module. The team will receive three more space lab modules and a replacement crew towards the end of the year to complete the assembly of the space station. The crew members, two men and a woman, all ex-air force pilots, will set up equipment, conduct scientific experiments, fulfill spacewalks, and even give science lectures to students on the ground. Can you imagine what it’s like to spend six months only with two other crew members without gravity in a tiny space station? In fact, their former team of three accomplished similar missions for six months and returned safely. You definitely don’t want to have a toothache or diarrhea in space.
Enjoy reading this graphical information about China’s ongoing space project.
