Women also play key roles in global space exploration | IAC 2025
At the 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Sydney, Australia, September 29-October 3, 2025, organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), CGTN reporter Wu Lei had an opportunity to ask pioneers like Yi So-yeon, South Korea's first astronaut, and veteran Canadian astronaut Julie Payette about their insights on women's growing involvement in space. While Dr. Yi emphasized the urgent need for more female participation to expand critical medical data for long-duration missions, Payette encouraged young girls to build every skill and be ready when opportunity calls. Their messages capture our attention as women, like Chinese taikonauts Liu Yang, Wang Yaping and Wang Haoze, continue making history aboard China's space station—proving that space belongs to all who dare to dream.
