Africa, Arabian Peninsula, and Tarim Basin | China Space Station

Africa, Arabian Peninsula, and Tarim Basin | China Space Station

In this video, China's Tiangong space station passes over Africa and the Arabian Peninsula before arriving at the Tarim Basin in China. 

Let's explore our world together!

The three Chinese astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu were sent to the orbiting Tiangong space station for a six-month mission on April 25, 2024.

During their stay in space, the Shenzhou-18 astronauts will carry out more than 90 experiments, two to three extravehicular activities (EVAs), and implement six cargo outbound deliveries via the station's cargo airlock module. 

The trio will witness the arrival of the Tianzhou-8 cargo craft and later welcome the Shenzhou-19 crewed spaceship to the space station.

Shenzhou-18 Crew:

Ye Guangfu (叶光富, commander)

Li Cong (李聪, mission specialist)

Li Guangsu (李广苏, mission specialist)
