On April 26, the Shenzhou XVIII manned spaceship’s three astronauts successfully entered the space station and met with the Shenzhou XVII astronauts. The Shenzhou XVIII crew (乘组) members are Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu. “Being born in the 1980s and having all been pilots, we never run out of things to talk about,” Li Cong told Xinhua. The crew will carry out more than 90 experiments in space. They will study microgravity (微重力) in space, medicine and many other science topics, reported China Daily. This mission is special because it features China’s first space-based study of water ecosystems. The astronauts brought a fish tank (鱼缸) filled with water to the space station. Four zebrafish (斑马鱼) and algae (水藻) live inside it. The algae give the fish oxygen , keeping them alive. The tank can also feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs by itself. Why zebrafish? They are very small vertebrates (脊椎动物) and they share 70 percent of their genes with humans. “Next, we plan on bringing mice to space. We’ll raise them there for a while and then bring them back to Earth for further study,” Zhang Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) told CCTV News. Studying animals in space can help scientists understand how the human body reacts (反应) to space conditions. The Shenzhou XVIII crew is expected to return in October after six months in space. Right now, China is about to finish picking its fourth batch (批) of astronauts. These new astronauts will join the team already working on space station missions and help achieve China’s first manned landing on the moon. 1. What is special abou
