China’s space program is gearing up for another milestone! The Shenzhou-19 crewed mission completed a critical full-system drill at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, putting the country one step closer to sending three taikonauts to its orbiting space station 🌍.
The drill tested everything from the launch tower to the rocket-spaceship separation process. The three taikonauts rehearsed every step, from boarding the capsule to executing commands during liftoff simulations. Talk about teamwork goals! 💪
Xing Lei from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center praised the crew’s performance, noting their ‘precise commands’ and ‘seamless coordination’ with ground teams. Next up: final medical checks and skill-refining sessions before the big day 🛰️.
This mission reinforces China’s growing role in space exploration—and with more young talent joining the field, the cosmos might just become the next trending destination 🌌!
