Shenzhou-23 Space Science Experiments & In-Orbit Training | China Space Station

Shenzhou-23 Space Science Experiments & In-Orbit Training | China Space Station

The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Sunday released its weekly update on the Shenzhou-23 mission, reporting that the crew continued to conduct scientific research and platform maintenance aboard the Tiangong Space Station.

Nearly five months into their mission, the three astronauts—Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan and Lai Ka-ying—have steadily advanced space science and experiment tasks including experiments in microgravity physical science.

Last week, the crew replaced and processed experimental samples within the high-temperature materials experiment cabinet according to schedule.

In-orbit rendezvous and docking training was also carried out, during which the three astronauts completed image recognition exercises under various initial conditions using a metacognitive training system.

Additionally, the trio studied the spaceflight handbook and crew-equipment operating guidelines as planned.

For space-station maintenance, the crew conducted routine inspections and servicing of the regenerative environmental control and life-support system and related equipment. They also took inventory of medical supplies, organized materials and cleaned the interior of the cabinet.

The astronauts also exercised using equipment, such as a bone-loss countermeasure device and a neuromuscular stimulator, to mitigate the physiological effects of weightlessness.

The three astronauts were sent into space aboard the Shenzhou-23 spacecraft on May 24.
