Three Chinese astronauts enter space station – The Tribune

Three Chinese astronauts, including a woman, made a smooth entry into the orbiting space station after the successful launch of their spaceship on Wednesday to man the station for the next six months.

The three astronauts of China’s Shenzhou-19 spaceflight mission have entered the Tiangong space station and met with another astronaut trio starting a new round of in-orbit crew handover, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced here.

Earlier, the spaceship Shenzhou-19 carrying the three astronauts successfully docked with the space station combination.
