Riding on the Long March-2F rocket, three astronauts. Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie, began their journey to China's space station. The crew will stay in space for six months, working on tasks like space experiments, extravehicular activities, and cargo (货物) tests. They are scheduled to return to Earth in late October.
