Shenzhou-19 Crew Achieves Key Breakthroughs in 5 Months | China Space Station
Aboard China's Tiangong Space Station, the Shenzhou-19 crew has achieved significant breakthroughs over the past five months in space science, technology validation, and space medicine research.
Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze, entered China's space station for a six-month spaceflight on October 30 last year.
Over the past nearly five months, a range of space science experiments and technology tests have been progressing smoothly.
In the field of space life sciences, the crew completed the first-ever fruit fly cultivation research in orbit. Additionally, the crew also conducted in orbit experiments on protein crystallization and five types of cells, providing important insights into the life sciences in the microgravity environment.
In the field of materials science, they carried out a number of metal and non-metal experiments in the containerless experiment cabinet and the high temperature scientific experiment cabinet.
"It is worth mentioning that we will be conducting an experiment with a maximum temperature of 3,000 degrees Celsius, using the containerless experiment cabinet. In the fields of microgravity fluid physics and combustion science, we have collaborated with the European Space Agency on research related to soft matter and complex fluids. By leveraging the different experimental conditions of China's space station and the International Space Station, we conduct scientific research in related fields in a complementary manner, enabling deeper and more extensive space exploration," said Wang Yifeng, an engineer at the Technology and Engineering Centre for Space Utilization, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In the field of space medicine, the Shenzhou-19 mission has established a new health assessment system for astronauts in a microgravity environment. This system closely monitors astronauts’ physical and psychological conditions, tracks key indicators, such as cardiac health, bone density, muscle condition, and emotional well-being, and integrates traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
During their stay, the crew will conduct a total of 86 key space scientific experiments and tests.
The Shenzhou-19 crew is expected to return to Earth in just over a month.
