The Shenzhou 14 Manned Spacecraft Was Successfully Launched

According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, at 10:44 on June 5, 2022 Beijing time, the Long March 2F Yao 14 carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. About 577 Seconds later, the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. The flight crew was in good condition and the launch was a complete success.

This is the 23rd flight mission since the establishment of my country's manned spaceflight project, and the 3rd manned flight mission in the space station phase.

After the spacecraft enters orbit, it will conduct autonomous and rapid rendezvous and docking with the space station assembly according to the predetermined procedure. In the follow-up, the astronauts will be stationed in the Tianhe core module to start a 6-month on-orbit residency, and carry out the maintenance and care of the space station platform, the operation of the robotic arm, the exit activities, and the transfer of the module, as well as space science experiments and technical tests.

At present, the space station assembly has entered the docking orbit and is in good condition, meeting the mission requirements for rendezvous and docking with Shenzhou 14 and the conditions for astronauts to station.
