STORYLINE:
All systems are go for China’s latest mission to its orbiting space station, taking another step towards becoming a superpower in space over the coming decades.
Lin Xiqiang, spokesperson of the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), said the three-person crew will take to the stars in the Shenzhou-19 spaceship from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 4:27 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
China built its own space station after being excluded from the International Space Station, largely due to the United States’ concerns over the program’s complete control by the People’s Liberation Army, the Chinese Communist Party’s military arm.
The new team, two men and one woman, will relieve the current team manning the Tiangong space station for the last six months.
It also plans to build a research station on the moon.
