Spacedotcom Report It is said that Shanejhou 16 team on 26 October handed over the control of the Chinese Space Station to Shanejhou 17 crew and three Chinese astronauts left for Prithvi. They included Commander Jing Hapeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Hychao. The same team took pictures of the Chinese Space Station.
According to the report, this space station is at an altitude of 340 to 450 km from the earth. For the first time in 2021, a team of astronauts reached the Tiangong Space Station, who spent 90 days there. However, the first part of the space station was then completed. The second and third units of the space station were launched last year and this year.
The Tiangong Space Station is a 55 meter long station. It weighs 77 tons. This is 20 per cent larger than the US and Russian dominated international space station. Many experiments are also being done at this space station. China’s space agency wants to operate this space station for at least a decade.
China has challenged the rest of the countries, especially America by creating its space station. Remember that China was not made a partner in the International Space Station, after which it died by creating his space station. India has also moved towards creating space stations. He has set the target of 2040.
