BEIJING (Reuters) – China on Friday sent three astronauts to Tiangong, including the youngest member of its astronaut corps, on its seventh mission to the permanently inhabited Chinese space station since it was completed in 2022.
The Shenzhou-21 spacecraft and its crew took off on a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, according to Chinese state media.
