China has announced that all systems are ready for the upcoming launch of the next crew to its orbiting space station early Wednesday. This mission marks another significant step in China's journey to establish itself as a major space power.
The crew, consisting of two men and one woman, will replace the astronauts who have been residing on the Tiangong space station for the past six months. The new mission commander, who previously participated in the Shenzhou-14 mission in 2022, will be joined by two first-time space travelers born in the 1990s.
