China to Launch Two Crewed Spacecraft Each Year | China Space Station

China plans to launch two crewed spacecraft and one or two cargo spacecraft into space per year after the completion of the basic T-shaped structure of the country's space station in late 2022, according to the China Manned Space Agency. As planned, the Shenzhou-16 crewed spacecraft will be launched in May and docked at the core module's radial port, and the Shenzhou-17 crewed spacecraft will be launched in October and docked at the core module's front port. The astronauts will conduct in-space scientific and technical experiments throughout this year's two crewed flight missions. Work on platform management, astronaut support, and science education activities will also be undertaken.
