China conducted an on-site comprehensive pre-launch rehearsal on Sunday, April 21, 2024, in northwest China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center for the imminent launch of the Shenzhou-18 crewed spaceship to the China Space Station. As scheduled, this new crew will replace the existing Shenzhou-17 astronauts (taikonauts) completing a long duration six-month mission. Shenzhou-18 will be the seventh crew of three astronauts to stay aboard the China Space Station. The Shenzhou-18 crew members will be officially announced shortly before launch.
Zou Pengfei, a staff member of the Astronaut Center of China stated:
"Throughout the joint rehearsal, the Shenzhou-18 crew members were full of energy, very calm and composed. They performed good teamwork in operation and coordinated smoothly with the ground team, thus achieving the expected results. The rehearsal demonstrated their good physical and psychological status and training level. After the joint rehearsal, they will enter the final preparation stage, which mainly includes medical examination and physical and psychological state adjustments, to ensure that they can perform the flight mission in the best shape possible."
