🇨🇳 CHINA PREPARES TO LAUNCH NEXT CREW TO TIANGONG SPACE STATION

China’s Long March 2F rocket, carrying the Shenzhou 19 spacecraft, is set for launch to the Tiangong space station from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. 

The 203-foot rocket was moved to its pad on Oct. 22, and pre-launch inspections are underway. 

Shenzhou 19 is expected to lift off by month’s end, with the three crew members’ identities announced shortly before launch. 

They’ll join Shenzhou 18’s team for a handover in orbit, marking the start of their six-month mission.
