On CNSA –China National Space Administration神舟二十三号Shenzhou23 Takionaut crew Embark On July 12th , 2026, the Shenzhou-23 crew (Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Li Jiaying) successfully After nearly 50 days of “business trips to space,” the Takionauts looked back at this beautiful blue planet from the space station, feeling the warmth of home amidst their busy work.
The Shenzhou-23 crew has been in orbit for nearly 50 days, and the experimental list is constantly being updated, focusing on testing the physiological effects of human resistance to weightlessness, a variety of space science and application projects, and the installation of new extravehicular payloads
I. Space Life Science and Human Research Experiments
- Plantar pressure measurement: Studying the effects of weightlessness on gait and balance by using plantar pressure distribution data…
- Lower limb biomechanical testing: Collecting lower limb movement parameters of astronauts under microgravity to assess changes in muscle coordination patterns.17
- Muscle and tendon characteristic measurement: Using equipment such as ultrasound to monitor muscle atrophy and tendon stiffness changes, providing a basis for countermeasures.17
- One-year human adaptation study: Conducting a follow-up study on the physiological, psychological and metabolic adaptation of humans during long-term residence…
II. Frontier Science and Application Projects
- Zebrafish embryo and artificial embryo experiments: Using zebrafish and aquatic organism models to study the impact of space environment on early development.
- Mouse experiments: Conducting research on the mechanisms of in-orbit reproduction, behavior, and bone loss in mammals.
- High-performance rare-earth permanent magnet alloys: verifying the preparation and performance changes of rare-earth materials under microgravity in space.
- Verification of novel energy storage batteries: Testing the on-orbit charge-discharge cycle life and safety of high-energy-density batteries.
- Space radiation biology exposure experiment: After completing the fourth extravehicular activity (EVA) installation, a five-month on-orbit exposure study was conducted using three samples: nanozymes, actinomycetes, and plant seeds.
III. External Loads and Equipment Installation
- The Tianyun camera: It traveled aboard the Tianzhou-10 spacecraft and completed its assembly, testing, and extravehicular installation. As the first Hong Kong scientific payload to be deployed to the space station, it can monitor the concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the mid-to-low latitudes of the world with high precision.
- Space protection device installation: Proceed with the extravehicular installation of protective materials for the space station as planned to enhance its ability to resist micrometeoroids and space debris.
IV. On-orbit daily and health management
- Combined cabin care and health management: Regularly clean the cabin environment, inspect supplies, and maintain emergency supplies.
- In-orbit physical examination: Complete the entire system’s stress emergency drill, physiological indicator collection, and physical examination items.
- Space Baking: Crew members engage in food baking experiences during their free time to enrich their life in orbit
