Looking Forward To It! Shenzhou 14 Astronauts Wait For Wentian in The Space.
Jul 25, 2022
The launch of the Wentian experimental module is the first time that the Chinese space station has welcomed the visit of the spacecraft in a manned state. At such an important historical moment, the three astronauts are also looking forward to welcoming their new home.
At noon on July 24, before the Wentian experimental module was launched, the space station assembly passed over the Hainan Island of the motherland. The Shenzhou 14 astronaut crew took pictures of Hainan Island from space. The three astronauts watched the whole process of the launch of the Wentian experimental module in orbit.
Shenzhou 14 astronaut Chen Dong: Warmly welcome the Wentian capsule to come to us from the motherland we think about day and night. For the first time in history, Chinese astronauts watched the launch mission from space and greeted the arrival of another module of the space station in the vast universe. We have witnessed the gradual growth of the space station with our own eyes, and we are deeply honored and proud to participate in the construction of the space station. Home and home are connected, and the space home shows a new look; the sky and the earth are united, and the space mission is a new chapter. We will keep working hard!
Liu Yang, astronaut of Shenzhou 14: I am very grateful to the ground researchers for sending us the space capsule to make our space home more spacious. We deeply feel the honor of our mission, and we will continue to complete the construction of the space home and the construction of the Chinese space station. Today, I want to stack this historical moment into a lucky star, and write my best wishes to China's space home in the sea of stars.
Shenzhou 14 astronaut Cai Xuzhe: In the future, we will also welcome the arrival of the Mengtian capsule, Tianzhou 5 and Shenzhou 15 crews. Let us look forward to this beautiful moment together and witness the birth of more and more Chinese miracles and the faster and faster speed of China in the bright starry sky.
