The crew of Shenzhou-14 will come up more than a month after the Shenzhou-13 crew's return, so these products and equipment should be put in place in advance. Another important thing is about the downward [cargo capacity], which refers to the important samples to be brought back from space. This also needs to be organized in advance. So these will be the focuses from next week."

Storyline


Crew members aboard the historic Shenzhou-13 mission are nearing the completion of their record-breaking six-month-long stay in orbit and will next week start their final preparations ahead of their expected return to Earth in April.

During the country's longest-ever crewed mission, the three taikonauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, have successfully completed two extravehicular activities, livestreamed two popular-science lectures and hosted the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Tiangong Dialogue, as well as carried out more than 20 scientific experiments based on the previous Shenzhou-12 mission.

They still have a number of key duties to perform before departing the Chinese space station Tiangong.

"Before leaving, there are a lot of materials that need to be sorted out, including those packages and products on Tianzhou-3. The crew of Shenzhou-14 will come up more than a month after the Shenzhou-13 crew's return, so these products and equipment should be put in place in advance. Another important thing is about the downward [cargo capacity], which refers to the important samples to be brought back from space. This also needs to be organized in advance. So these will be the focuses from next week," said Zhong Weiwei, an associate research fellow member at the Astronaut Center of China.

Currently the physical and psychological conditions of the three astronauts are better than expected given their long duration in space, meeting the conditions for returning to Earth, said experts with Astronaut Center of China. Video showed that the taikonauts have been stepping up their physical exercises as they look to strengthen their bodies before re-entering the Earth's gravity.

"In terms of exercise and medical examinations, ground control team has strengthened it specifically. Based on the data obtained from their physical in-orbit examination, we have made targeted adjustments to the entire protection plan before their return. In fact, the focus at this stage is on guaranteeing [the astronauts'] physical exercise to prepare for a safe landing and safe return," said Zhong.

The taikonauts delivered another livestream lecture to students on Wednesday afternoon, the second class conducted from China's space station.

The crew began their mission to the country's space station on Oct. 16.
