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

On the Morning Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration   On 15th January 2024, the combination of the Long March 7 Yao 8 carrier rocket and天舟七号the Advance cargo spacecraft was vertically at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, Hainan Province China, Peoples Republic of China transported to the Wenchang launch complex  standing by in readiness to launch towards the Tiangong –China Space Station..

天舟七号 Chang Zheng – Long March 7 Carrier Rocket  with the Advance Tianzhou cargo spacecraft launch mission was a complete success……  At 22:27 on January 17, 2024, Hong Kong SAR-  Beijing time, the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle carrying the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft was ignited at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. About 10 minutes after the launch, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. Afterwards, the spacecraft’s solar panels were deployed smoothly, making the launch a complete success. In the future, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft will rendezvous and dock with the space station assembly in orbit.



The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft was loaded with consumables, propellants, application experimental equipment and other materials for the astronauts to stay in orbit, and sent “new year goods” for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon to the Shenzhou-17 astronaut crew.

This mission is the fourth launch mission since my country’s manned space project entered the space station application and development stage. It is the 31st launch mission since the project was established and implemented. It is also the 507th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles

【Complete combination!  The Advance Tianzhou 7  cargo spacecraft and the China space station assembly completed the rendezvous and docking]

The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully completed the status setting after entering orbit, and successfully docked with the space station Tianhe at 01:46 on January 18, 2024, Beijing time Core cabin aft port. After the rendezvous and docking is completed, Tianzhou-7 will transfer to the combined flight phase. Subsequently, the Shenzhou 17 astronaut crew will enter the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft and carry out cargo transfer and other related work as planned……

The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft carries more than 260 pieces of cargo, and the total weight of the transported materials is about 5.6 tons. Among them, 2.4 tons of daily necessities were delivered to the astronaut crew, including Spring Festival goods for the Year of the Dragon, fresh fruit and vegetable gift packages, etc.

[Tianzhou-7 ship-rocket assembly transferred to launch area]

 According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, on January 12, 2024, Beijing time, the Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft successfully evacuated the space station assembly and entered the independent flight stage. On January 15, the Tianzhou-7 ship-rocket assembly will be transferred, and the assembly will enter the launch area in a vertical transfer manner. Follow the live broadcast and cheer for China Aerospace.

At around 08:00 on January 15, 2024, the movable launch platform carrying the “Tianzhou 7” cargo spacecraft and the “Long March 7” Ya8 launch vehicle combination was launched from the Wenchang launch site vertical assembly test plant at 10:40 After arriving at the launch area, the “Tianzhou-7” launch mission entered the refueling launch stage.

At present, the facilities and equipment at the Wenchang Space Launch Site are in good condition. Various functional inspections and joint tests before launch will be carried out as planned. The launch is planned to be carried out in the near future

The “Tianzhou 7” spacecraft is the second batch of products in the “Tianzhou” series of cargo spacecraft. A total of 6 spacecrafts from “Tianzhou 6” to “Tianzhou 11” were developed and produced in this batch. “No. 7” is the second spacecraft among them. “Tianzhou 7” is an improved cargo spacecraft of “Tianzhou”, with cargo space and load capacity further improved. Its pressurized cargo hold has a loading volume of 22.5 cubic meters, a loading capacity of 6.7 tons, and the cargo loading capacity of the entire ship reaches 7.4 tons. , the upward cargo load ratio is 0.53.

After entering the launch area, the “Tianzhou-7” mission ship rocket will complete various launch preparations represented by the joint training of the whole area, and then add propellant and enter the ready-to-launch state. It is expected that at about 22:00 on January 17, the “Tianzhou-7” spacecraft will be launched from the 201 station of the Wenchang launch site by the “Chang-7” Yao-8 rocket. The spacecraft will use the rapid rendezvous and docking mode to ascend and dock with the Chinese Space Station. Tianhe’s core cabin has a rearward port.

The “Tianzhou-7” mission is the sixth cargo launch mission of the space station mission. It is also the first launch mission of China’s manned space project in 2024, and the world’s manned space launch mission will also kick off.

“Careful organization and implementation to ensure complete success”

At this moment, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft and the Long March-7 Ya8 launch vehicle and arrow assembly are being transported vertically to the launch area. ​​​

[New Commander 01 at Wenchang Space Launch Site] In the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft mission, He Hongye will serve as Commander 01. This will be his first time holding the position of Commander 01, and he will also become the first manned commander in history. He is the fourth 01 commander in the space launch mission and the third 01 commander in the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft launch mission.
