Shenzhou-22 Replacement Crew Spacecraft Launch | China Space Station
Liftoff! At 04:11:45.459 UTC on November 25, 2025, the Long March 2F Y22 rocket launched the replacement Shenzhou-22 crew spacecraft from Jiuquan. This marks a historic first—the spacecraft is launching uncrewed to meet astronauts already waiting in orbit. In place of a crew, Shenzhou-22 is carrying essential resupplies to the China space station. China was able to replace another crewed spacecraft in just sixteen days.
Tiny cracks were found in the viewport window of the Shenzhou-20 crewed spacecraft's return capsule, most probably caused by an external impact from space debris, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). This required its rapid replacement for the crew's safety.
