New Shenzhou-19 Crew Adapts to Work & Living Conditions | China Space Station

New Shenzhou-19 Crew Adapts to Work & Living Conditions | China Space Station 

China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the orbiting Tiangong Space Station have adapted to their new environment and have started to engage in their daily routines after they boarded the station over 2 weeks ago, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

The crew members, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze, were launched to the China Space Station on Oct. 30, 2024, for a six-month mission.

In close coordination with ground researchers, the Shenzhou-19 crew have completed their first full-system pressure emergency drill and in-orbit medical training since their arrival.

The drill simulated the process of the crew members responding to an internal depressurization scenario at the space station. This involves astronauts and ground personnel collaborating in emergency response throughout the entire process.

The in-orbit medical training simulated the procedures for providing medical assistance in the event of sudden illness or injury among astronauts. This is aimed to help the crew become more familiar with the locations of medical devices in the space station, to review usage methods, and to reinforce operational processes and skills.

During the mission, the crew will carry out extravehicular activities—spacewalks, including the installation of space debris protection devices.

Last week, the three astronauts completed routine checks and maintenance of their spacesuits, and confirmed their storage conditions, ensuring that the suits are in good condition.

While in orbit, the crew are required to regularly conduct environmental monitoring and equipment maintenance within the space station.

Last week, Shenzhou-19 commander Cai Xuzhe inspected the cabin's acoustic environment.

Additionally, the crew completed inspections and maintenance of the regenerative life support system equipment.

Furthermore, the crew regularly carried out tasks, such as cleaning, supplies arranging and transfer, and garbage transfer and storage to maintain a clean environment in the space station.

Moreover, the astronauts also underwent regular medical checks to monitor their health and they performed routine physical exercises.
