Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Shenzhou-22 spacecraft successfully completed its status setup after entering orbit and successfully docked with the forward port of the Tianhe core module of the space station at 15:50 Beijing time on November 25. After the rendezvous and docking, the Shenzhou-22 spacecraft will enter the combined docking section and will subsequently serve as the return spacecraft for the Shenzhou-21 astronaut crew.
Currently, the Shenzhou-21 astronaut crew is in good condition in orbit and is completing all planned tasks. The Shenzhou-20 spacecraft will continue to remain in orbit to conduct relevant experiments.
Following the delayed return of the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft on November 5th due to a suspected impact from small space debris, the mission command swiftly activated its contingency plan. The entire project team responded calmly and scientifically, with participating research and testing units working together to overcome difficulties. Within 20 days, they steadily and efficiently completed risk analysis and assessment, feasibility studies and decision-making, personnel and material mobilization, crew transfer and return, and emergency launch of the spacecraft, providing a successful example for efficient emergency response in the international space industry.
The success of this mission fully demonstrates the advantages of the new national system, profoundly interprets the "life first, safety first" philosophy of China's manned space program, comprehensively verifies the scientific reliability of the "one-for-one, rolling backup" strategy for China's space station mission, and practically tests the rapid response and emergency handling capabilities of the entire project team. It vividly embodies the spirit of manned spaceflight: exceptionally hardworking, exceptionally capable, exceptionally resilient, and exceptionally dedicated. (End)
