Shenzhou-16 Spacecraft

Context:

China launched a spacecraft carrying three astronauts, including its first civilian, to its Tiangong space station.

This is the country’s fifth manned mission to a fully functional space station since 2021.

What is the new mission about?

Under the mission, three Chinese astronauts will replace the crew of Shenzhou-15 aboard the Tiangong space station, who have been there since November 2022.
They are expected to make high-level scientific achievements in the study of novel quantum phenomena, high-precision space time-frequency systems, the verification of general relativity, and the origin of life.

About Tiangong Space Station:

The Tiangong space station was built by China after the USA barred NASA from working with the Asian country, citing a high risk of espionage.
It is operated by China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The permanently inhabited space station’s first module entered orbit in 2021 and two more modules were added to it in the following years.
It is expected to become the sole in-orbit outpost for scientific research after the end of operations for the International Space Station in 2030.
