On the day of  April 17th Wednesday 2024   Hours Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration , China, People’s Republic of China, the Shenzhou 18 Chang Zheng-Long March 2F, Y18  has been rollout from it’s Vertical Assembly Building The eight-launch vehicle assembly has been transferred to the launch area. At present, the facilities and equipment at the launch site are in good condition, and various pre-launch functional inspections, joint tests and other work will be carried out as planned. The launch is planned to be carried out in the near future.

Shenzhou 18 is a planned Chinese spaceflight to the Tiangong space station, expected to launch in 25 April 2024, near the end of the Shenzhou 17 mission. It will carry three Taikonauts on board a Shenzhou spacecraft. In which will stay in the Tiangong – China-Space Station for 180 Days in space orbiting around the Planet earth it’s expected to launch on the 25h April 2024..

According to news on May 29, 2023, Shenzhou 18 is undergoing final assembly and testing of the entire ship before leaving the factory. Other spacecraft in this batch have entered the stand-alone development stage. 

According to CCTV news on January 18, 2024, Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space program, introduced that the six Taikonauts….  in the two flight crews of Shenzhou 18 and Shenzhou 17 have been identified, and they are conducting more targeted missions. Train. In addition, China’s manned moon landing will be accelerated and steadily advanced…

The logo of the Shenzhou 18th manned mission is simple and modern, with a strong sense of science and technology. The main body is the Chinese Space Station. The location of the Shenzhou 18th manned spacecraft and docking is highlighted with a yellow line. The mission’s serial number “18” adopts a sense of science and technology. The style design uses numbers as the background to emphasize the task sequence and improve the recognition and memorability of the logo. The number of stars also corresponds to the mission number

In 2024, the project plans 2 manned missions and 2 cargo spacecraft replenishment missions. The Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft replenishment mission was successfully completed in January, and Shenzhou 18 and Shenzhou 19 2 will be implemented in the future. manned mission and Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft supply mission

深蓝航天  Deep Blue Limited – Deep Blue Aerospace  Landspace One of sixty Chinese private space Carrier Rocket Companies in China-People’s Republic of China…  As many of sixty plus Private Rocket Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. was established in 2017. The company is mainly a high-tech aerospace enterprise that focuses on the direction of liquid recovery and reusable launch vehicles and provides users with commercial launch services. Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. At the same time, the company has rocket general and liquid engine R&D centers in Yizhuang, Beijing and Xi’an, Shaanxi, respectively, and a rocket power system test base in Tongchuan, Shaanxi…..

Recently on the Month of April 2024, Blue Arrow Aerospace successfully completed the engine test run assessment of the largest niobium alloy nozzle in China at the Huzhou Hot Test Center. After the test, the product structure and surface coating were intact. The engine worked for 380 seconds under rated working conditions and high working conditions. The structural reliability, thermal protection reliability, and process reliability of the niobium alloy nozzle passed the assessment! This niobium alloy nozzle has a diameter of about 1.6m and a height of about 1.3m. The size is much larger than the existing domestic products of the same type. It is equipped with the Tianque 15A (TQ-15A) vacuum liquid oxygen methane engine with the highest thrust in China.
