The three astronauts of the Shenzhou-20 crewed spaceflight mission have boarded the spaceship which is slated to be launched from northwest China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to the Tiangong space station at 17:17 Thursday (Beijing Time).
Chen Dong, the mission commander, and his crew mates Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie got aboard the spaceship with the help of technicians.
The Shenzhou-20 astronauts will complete in-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou-19 crew and stay at the space station for approximately six months.
During the mission, the new crew will witness the arrival of the Tianzhou-9 cargo craft and Shenzhou-21 crewed spaceship.
They will undertake a range of tasks, including space science experiments, application tests, extravehicular activities, and cargo handling. Their mission also involves installing protective devices against space debris, and deploying and retrieving extravehicular payloads and equipment.
They will also participate in science education, public outreach, and other onboard experimental activities.
The Shenzhou-19 astronauts are scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on April 29.
