Xinhua news agency, Jiuquan, October 14 (reporters Li Guoli, Li Yun and Zhang Mimi) after the research and decision of the space station phase mission headquarters, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft will be launched in the early morning of the 16th at 0:23 Beijing time on the 16th. The flight crew consists of astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and ye Guangfu, with Zhai Zhigang as the commander. The long march-2 f yao-13 rocket carrying out the launch mission was filled with propellant on the afternoon of the 14th. This was announced by Lin Xiqiang, spokesman for China's manned space engineering and deputy director of China's manned space engineering office, at a press conference held at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the afternoon of the 14th.
Astronaut Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to leave the capsule. Astronaut Wang Yaping has carried out the manned flight mission of Shenzhou 10, and astronaut Ye Guangfu is the first to carry out the manned flight mission. Lin Xiqiang said that according to the plan, after Shenzhou 13 spacecraft enters orbit, it will adopt the independent rapid rendezvous and docking mode to dock with the radial port of Tianhe core module and form a combination with Tianhe core module and Tianzhou 2 and Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft. After the astronauts entered the core module, they worked and lived according to the synchronous work and rest system of heaven and earth. About 6 months later, they returned to the Dongfeng landing site by spacecraft. After a comprehensive assessment of the completion of various tasks in the key technology verification stage of the space station, it will be transferred to the construction stage of the space station.
At present, the state and equipment of Tianhe core module, Tianzhou II and Tianzhou III are working normally, and they have the conditions for rendezvous and docking and astronaut entry. The test and comprehensive exercise of various systems for the Shenzhou 13 mission have been completed, the astronaut flight crew is in good condition, and all preparations are basically ready before launch.
According to Xinhua news agency, Jiuquan, October 14 (reporters Li Yun and Zhang Mimi), Lin Xiqiang, spokesman of China's manned space engineering and deputy director of China's manned space engineering office, said at the press conference of Shenzhou 13 manned mission on the 14th that astronauts from other countries are welcome to enter China's space station and carry out international cooperation.
Lin Xiqiang said that manned space exploration is a common cause of mankind and is inseparable from the full cooperation of all countries in the world. International cooperation in the field of manned spaceflight is an important part of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Adhering to the principles of peaceful utilization, equality, mutual benefit and common development, China Manned Space Engineering Office has signed cooperation framework agreements with space agencies of Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Pakistan and other countries, as well as space organizations such as the United Nations Department of foreign space and ESA, and carried out various forms of cooperation and exchanges.
Lin Xiqiang said that we welcome astronauts from other countries to enter the Chinese space station and carry out international cooperation. We believe that after the construction of the Chinese space station is completed and enters the stage of operation and application development, you will see astronauts from other countries participate in the flight of the Chinese space station.
