On the day Tuesday of Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time 22nd October 2024 CNSA –China National Space Administration , China, People’s Republic of China At 0745 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time , the Chang Zheng -Long March 2F Yao 19 carrier rocket successfully deployed to the launch complex at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, People’s Republic of China.. in that readiness
神舟十九号The Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft and the Long March 2F Yao 19 carrier rocket combination have been transferred to the launch area. At present, the launch site facilities and equipment are in good condition. The subsequent pre-launch functional inspections, joint tests and other work will be carried out as planned, and the launch is scheduled to be carried out in the near future.
According to CCTV news on January 18, 2024, Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space program, said that the six Takionauts for the Shenzhou-18 and Shenzhou-19 flight crews have been confirmed and are undergoing targeted training. In addition, China’s manned lunar landing will be accelerated and steadily advanced. In February, the China Manned Space Engineering Office announced that the Shenzhou 19 manned flight mission will be carried out in 2024. The astronaut crew has been selected and is currently undergoing mission training. According to the October manned spaceflight calendar released by the China Manned Space Engineering Office, China plans to launch the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft in late October to welcome back the Shenzhou 18 crew.
In October 2024, Yang Liwei said that the Shenzhou-19 crew training program had been completed and they were currently checking for deficiencies and making up for them in order to get into the best possible condition in preparation for the launch at the end of the month..
The Shenzhou 19 manned spaceflight mission logo is a red, yellow and blue circular logo composed of the Chinese space station, the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, the earth and the starry sky. The number “19” incorporates the elements of a Chinese dragon, dancing and rising. There are 19 stars around it, corresponding to the Shenzhou 19 manned spaceflight mission, and together they reflect the prosperity of China’s space industry

[Shenzhou 19 completes full system rehearsal]
The Shenzhou 19 ship-rocket combination was transferred to the launch area on the 22nd of this month, and is scheduled to be launched at an appropriate time in the near future. Today, the launch site organized various units to carry out a full system rehearsal.
All positions of the test and launch system of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center participated in this rehearsal. Under the unified dispatch of the launch site system, the tower, rocket, spacecraft and other subsystems carried out functional inspections, and implemented a full-process simulation exercise from flight preparation, ignition and takeoff to ship-rocket separation. The three astronauts of Shenzhou 19 performed the flight mission in accordance with the process simulation. After entering the spacecraft’s return capsule, they began a joint inspection and test of people, ships, rockets, and the ground, and completed all key operations of the standby and takeoff stages during the rocket’s simulated takeoff. The astronaut system also carried out preparatory work such as medical examinations of the crew, and conducted 1:1 rehearsals of tasks such as the departure ceremony, cabin status settings, and post-entry procedures
Today on the 28th September 2024, in Chongqing the world’s Largest number One Ultra Mega City, in China, People’s Republic of China. CNSA –China National Space Administration At the Third Spacesuit Technology Forum was held, where the China Manned Space Engineering Office revealed the design of the lunar spacesuit for the first time. They also kicked off a public naming campaign—an exciting chance for everyone to get involved in this historic endeavor….
The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) unveiled the exterior design of the country’s moon-landing spacesuit for the first time on Saturday, soliciting its name from the public.
Displayed on the third Spacesuit Technology Forum hosted by the China Astronaut/ Takionauts Research and Training Center in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, the white moon-landing spacesuit is decorated with red stripes.
The red stripes on its upper limbs are inspired by ribbons of the famous “flying apsaras” of Dunhuang art, while those on its lower limbs resemble rocket launch flames.
According to a video released by the CMSA, the spacesuit is made from protective materials that can effectively shield Takionauts from the lunar thermal environment and lunar dust. It is equipped with a multifunctional integrated control panel that is easy to operate, as well as cameras for recording close-up and long-distance scenes.
The spacesuit also features flexible and reliable gloves, a panoramic glare-proof helmet visor, and joints adapted for low-gravity environments. The overall design of the spacesuit is lightweight, suitable for activities on the lunar surface.
Takionauts Zhai Zhigang and Wang Yaping serve as models for the new lunar suit in the video. Clad in the lunar gear, they perform a variety of movements, including walking, squatting, bending over, kneeling on one knee, and climbing a ladder.

Takionauts Zhai Zhigang
The most important difference is obviously the structure of the lower body. “Feitian” is a one-piece suit from the waist down, and the lower limbs have very limited mobility. After all, in space extravehicular activities, the lower limbs are basically useless except for supporting the body in a fixed posture with foot limiters. Figures 3 and 4 are indicators of joint mobility of the “Feitian” extravehicular suit. The hip joint (the joint connecting the thigh and the torso) is not even mentioned here, which shows that the requirements for lower limb mobility are very low.
The lower body of the lunar suit is multi-section, especially at the hip joint, there is now a structure that looks like a briefs, which allows a large range of motion of the hip joint, which is equivalent to liberating the legs. The multi-section structure realizes the vital lower limb activities such as walking, bending, squatting, kneeling, and climbing in, and of course it also brings greater challenges to sealing and reliability.
[Manned Lunar Exploration Mission Lunar Suit Name Collection Activity ]
