    Solution

    China sent three astronauts to its now fully operational space station as part of crew rotation in the fifth manned mission to the Chinese space outpost since 2021. The spacecraft, Shenzhou-16, or “Divine Vessel”, and its three passengers lifted off atop a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the Gobi Desert in northwest China. The astronauts on Shenzhou-16 will replace the three-member crew of the Shenzhou-15, who arrived at the space station late in November. Leading the Shenzhou-16 mission was Jing Haipeng, a senior spacecraft pilot from China’s first batch of astronaut trainees in the late 1990s.He had travelled to space three times before, including two trips as mission commander.
