STORYLINE:
China declared a “complete success” after it launched a new three-person crew to its orbiting space station early Wednesday as the country seeks to expand its exploration of outer space with missions to the moon and beyond.
The Shenzhou-19 spaceship carrying the trio blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 4:27 a.m. local time atop a Long March-2F rocket, the backbone of China’s crewed space missions.
The team of two men and one woman will replace the astronauts who have lived on the Tiangong space station for the last six months.
They are expected to stay until April or May of next year.
The new crew will perform spacewalks and install new equipment to protect the station from space debris, some of which was created by China.
China launched its first crewed mission in 2003, becoming only the third nation to do so after the former Soviet Union and the United States.
The space program is a source of enormous national pride and a hallmark of China’s technological advances over the past two decades.
