Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, October 26, according to the China manned Space Engineering Office, after the manned spacecraft and the space station successfully achieved autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking, the Shenzhou 17 astronauts entered the orbital module from the spacecraft's re-entry module.

The Shenzhou 17 astronauts successfully entered the "Heavenly Palace" at 19:34 on October 26 and joined the Shenzhou 16 astronauts in a "victory rendezvous". Subsequently, six Chinese astronauts took pictures of their families in space.

In the follow-up, the two astronauts will rotate in orbit at the space station. During this period, six astronauts will work and live together on the space station for about four days to complete all the established work.

In 2021, astronaut Tang Hongbo, as one of the first astronauts to enter the Chinese space station, personally experienced the historical moment when "Chinese people entered their own space station for the first time." he also personally experienced the change of China's space station from "one-bedroom" to "three-bedroom" two years later. At the same time, Tang Hongbo has also become the Chinese astronaut with the shortest interval between two missions so far.

This morning, Shenzhou 17 was successfully launched. This time, the Shenzhou 17 spacecraft docked with the forward port of the core module of the Chinese space station, forming a combination of three cabins and three ships. After completing the handover with the Shenzhou 17 spacecraft, the Shenzhou 16 crew will return to Earth on October 31, ending nearly half a year of space "business trip."

The astronauts carrying out the Shenzhou 17 manned mission are composed of three astronauts, Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin, with Tang Hongbo as commander. The crew, which includes a second batch of astronauts and two third batch of astronauts, is the youngest astronaut since the start of the construction mission of the space station.

This mission is the 30th and 12th manned mission since the establishment and implementation of the manned space project. The main purpose of the mission is to complete the in-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou 16 crew and stay for about 6 months. Carry out space science and application load in orbit (test) inspection, carry out astronaut extravehicular activities and load extravehicular activities, carry out extravehicular load installation and space station maintenance, etc., at the same time Continuously evaluate the functional performance of the space station assembly, obtain valuable data and experience on the operation of the space station, and assess the coordination and matching of the ground support center in carrying out the operation and management tasks of the space station. further improve the operation efficiency and fault handling capacity of the space station.

According to the plan, after the Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft is put into orbit, it will adopt the mode of autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking, and after about 6.5 hours, it will be connected to the sky and the forward port of the core module, forming a combination of three cabins and three ships. During their stay in orbit, the crew of Shenzhou 17 astronauts will usher in the visiting docking of Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft and Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft, and plan to return to the Dongfeng landing site around April next year.

CTOnews.com learned from the official that the Shenzhou 16 astronauts returned to the Dongfeng landing site on the 31st of this month after completing the on-orbit rotation mission with the Shenzhou 17 astronauts.
