Happy Earth Day!🌍❤️

"Take a brief moment to appreciate these breathtaking views of our home planet on Earth Day—seen through the lens of Chinese astronauts or taikonauts aboard the Tiangong Space Station!"📷

The three astronauts have been in orbit for more than five months and remain in good working and living condition.

During the upcoming phase of their space journey, the crew will continue to conduct scientific experiments and technical tests, and will also celebrate the Space Day of China, marked annually on April 24, and the International Workers' Day on May 1 while in orbit.

The Shenzhou-21 crewed spacecraft blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on October 31, 2025, sending the three astronauts to the orbiting space station on a six-month mission.
