Hey space fans! China’s Shenzhou-20 crewed mission is nearly ready to rock the cosmos following a final full-system joint rehearsal. On Tuesday, teams from the Beijing Aerospace Control Center pulled off a coordinated drill at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Xi'an Satellite Control Center, and multiple tracking stations nationwide. Every system—from the rocket and spacecraft to ground support equipment—has been checked and is operating smoothly. 🚀
Chen Tingzheng from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center confirmed, "All systems, including the rocket, spacecraft and ground support equipment, are functioning optimally." Next up are rigorous pre-launch inspections and propellant loading to get things in top shape before launch.
Meanwhile, meteorologists are keeping a close eye on the weather. Zhang Fang added that after extensive tracking and assessments, conditions for the launch window are stable and meet the required standards. This means all signs point to a smooth journey into orbit!
This mission is lighting up the sky for tech buffs and dreamers across South Asia and Southeast Asia. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting space adventure! 😊
