The god ship 10 connected Thien Cung-1

The Shenzhou 10 spacecraft carrying three Chinese astronauts successfully connected to the Thien Cung-1 research station on June 13. After the mission of Shenzhou 10 ends, Thien Cung-1 will stop working and fall to Earth in the near future.

On June 11, Truong Chinh 2F boosters successfully launched the Than Chau-10 ship with three astronauts, Hanh Hai Thang, Truong Hieu Quang and Vuong A Binh - the second female astronaut of China to leave China. Tiu Tuyen universe center is located northwest of China at 17h38 (Beijing time).

The Chinese Aeronautics Agency said that Shenzhou 10 will be in orbit for about 15 days. This is the longest space mission to date and the fifth time China has sent manned spacecraft into space.

According to Xinhua, the automatic connection between the Shenzhou 10 ship and the Thien Cung-1 space station takes place at 1:11 pm (Beijing time), at 11.11 (GMT) on June 13. The whole pairing process ended successfully within 7 minutes. After conducting pressure tests, all three astronauts opened the Shenzhou 10 and step and Thien Cung-1 station at 16: 17 minutes (Beijing time) ie 8:11 (GMT).

All 3 astronauts will spend 12 working days on Thien Cung-1 station. A special feature of this mission is that the astronaut Vuong A Binh will make a lecture from the space for students on the ground. Ms. Wang will attend at least one lesson on how objects move in micro-gravity environments in space.

As planned, during the course of working in space, the crew will try to perform a manual connection between the Shenzhou 10 train and Thien Cung-1 station. This work will be conducted on June 20. Both the crew will return to Earth on June 25-26 and land in Inner Mongolia on the same day.

China's Thien Cung-1 station has been in orbit for more than 600 days and has been visited by Shenzhou 8, Shenzhou 9 and now Shenzhou 10. However, this space research station does not have enough facilities to support the saved astronauts.

After the mission of the Shenzhou 10 ship is completed, the Thien Cung-1 station will be abandoned in space and spontaneously flare into the atmosphere before falling into the Pacific Ocean. But Chinese officials have not announced exactly when Thien Cung-1 fell to Earth. In the next few years, China will take Thien Cung-2 with a larger and more modern scale than Thien Cung-1 to replace it.
