China has declared a “complete success” after launching a new three-person crew to its orbiting space station early Wednesday. The Shenzhou-19 spaceship carrying the trio blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 4:27 a.m. local time atop a Long March-2F rocket, marking another milestone in China’s space exploration efforts.
The crew, consisting of two men and one woman, is in good condition following the successful launch. This mission is part of China’s ambitious plans to expand its presence in outer space, including missions to the moon and beyond.
