On April 24th, 2025, China successfully sent up the Shenzhou-20 spaceship from Jiuquan. Riding the Long March-2F rocket, three astronauts—Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie are flying towards China’s space station. They will live and work there for six months.
April 24th is special: China’s 10th Space Day. It marks the celebration of China’s first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, which was sent up on the same day in 1970.
The Long March-2F rocket has been improved in 32 ways. Scientists try to use more apps to work smarter. A key improvement is that they can send information much faster. In the past, important flight information was saved in a “black box” and checked only after landing. Now, the rocket sends live information in space, as fast as 100 pages every second! This lets scientists closely watch the flight from earth.
The Shenzhou-20 spacecraft itself is also better:
• It has more room for things, carrying 20% more things needed to the station.
• It can connect faster with the space station.
• Its new batteries(电池) are lighter and work better than older ones.
But one thing stays the same: the power of China’s space scientists. They love their country and work very hard. In the past, they studied a lot and got rich experience. Today, young scientists still go on this hard work. Surely, China’s space programme will keep reaching further and making great new success.
