Hey space fans! 🚀
Exciting news from outer space! The three astronauts on China’s Shenzhou-20 mission have arrived at the China Space Station! They met with the Shenzhou-19 crew, and together, they started a new mission in space.
Imagine opening the door to your house and greeting new friends—that’s what happened at 1:17 a.m. Beijing Time when the Shenzhou-19 crew opened the hatch and welcomed the new astronauts. The six space explorers took group photos to remember this special moment. It’s the sixth time in China’s history that astronauts have gathered like this in space! 🌟
For the next five days, they will live and work together, completing important tasks and preparing for the handover of the space station duties. It’s like when you’re about to go on summer break, and you show your friend how to take care of your pet. 🐶
After their work is done, the Shenzhou-19 crew will return to Earth. They’ll land at the Dongfeng landing site in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on April 29.
Isn’t it amazing what humans can do in space? Maybe one day, you could be an astronaut too!
