China's Shenzhou-14 Crew Clean Tiangong—China's Space Station

China's Shenzhou-14 Crew Clean Tiangong—China's Space Station 

The Shenzhou-14 crew can be seen cleaning their new home in space: Tiangong—China's Space Station—before completing required exercise. Crew members Chen Dong, Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe have continued to adapt to microgravity since their arrival on June 5, 2022. They are on a six-month long duration mission to complete construction of China's new space station. Liu became the first Chinese woman in space during the Shenzhou-9 Mission in 2012. Shenzhou-14 represents the second space mission for Chen Dong and Liu Yang. Cai Xuzhe is on his first.

The lab module Wentian is scheduled to arrive in July 2022, the lab module Mengtian in October, and then the Tianzhou-5 cargo craft and the Shenzhou-15 crew mission spacecraft later this year. The Wentian and Mengtian lab modules will provide larger platforms for scientific experiments in microgravity. 

Nearly 100 experiments are planned during the construction phase of China's space station. After operations are normalized, larger-scale scientific research will be conducted. This is expected to effectively promote breakthroughs in major frontier scientific fields, such as dark matter and dark energy, galaxy formation and evolution, laws about the nature of matter, as well as in sustainable development on Earth.
