On October 31, 2025, at 23:44 Beijing time, China launched the Shenzhou-21 spaceship. It lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The spaceship carried three astronauts: Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang. They are three different types of astronauts: a space pilot, a flight engineer, and a payload specialist (a science expert).
After the spaceship went into orbit, it connected with the Tiangong Space Station in about 3.5 hours. This was the fastest docking for a Shenzhou spaceship.
