Steady Progress in Scientific Research & Applications in 2025 | China Space Station
China's Tiangong Space Station, launched in 2021, made steady progress in the development of scientific research and its application during 2025, according to a report issued by China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO) on Thursday, January 8, 2026.
The report focuses on areas, such as space life sciences and human research, microgravity physics, and new space technologies and applications. It features 33 representative scientific research and application outcomes that have shown remarkable progress, alongside relevant popular science activities.
Since China's crewed space program entered the application and development phase, China has successfully completed six crewed spaceflight missions, four cargo supply missions, and five spacecraft return missions. Notably, it has successfully conducted its first emergency mission.
Six astronaut crews, totaling 18 astronauts, have been stationed in orbit, performing 13 extravehicular activities (EVAs) and multiple EVAs using payloads, in addition to numerous extravehicular maintenance tasks. These efforts have reset the world record for the longest single extravehicular activity (spacewalk) by astronauts.
The selection of the fourth batch of reserve astronauts, including payload experts from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions (SARs), was completed, and the development of a low-cost cargo transportation system was initiated.
Preliminary statistics indicate that in 2025, scientific teams across various fields published over 230 high-level SCI papers and obtained more than 70 patents. Through in-depth experimental research and application exploration, several results have been transferred, converted, and promoted, significantly advancing the rapid development of space science and applications in China.
