Taikonauts Enter Tianzhou-6 Spacecraft to Unload Cargo | China Space Station
China's Shenzhou-15 crew, currently living and working aboard the orbiting Tiangong Space Station, opened the hatch of the cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-6 on Friday morning, May 12, 2023—one day after it docked with the space station, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
At around 8:00 a.m., the crew opened the hatch of the cargo craft and started transferring packages.
The cargo craft is loaded with supplies for the upcoming Shenzhou-16 and Shenzhou-17 crews, as well as propellant for the space station, payloads for scientific applications and experiments, weighing over seven tonnes in total.
The first task for the crews is to move the equipment carrying stem cell samples to the experiment cabinet in the Wentian module, as it requires strict time and temperature controls.
This equipment was installed in the cargo craft only five hours before the launch. The supplies for the crew include apparel, food, and water. In total, there are 70 kilograms of fresh fruit sent to the China Space Station on this trip, twice the weight of what the Tianzhou-5 cargo craft carried.
