China’s Shenzhou 16 spacecraft left Earth at 9.31am on Tuesday, sending three astronauts to the Tiangong space station on a five-month mission.
Among the crew, Gui Haichao, a professor at China’s prestigious aeronautics institution Beihang University who pursued his postdoctoral studies in Canada, is the first Chinese civilian to be on a spaceflight. #china # Shenzhou16 # spacecraft # Tiangong # spaceflight #fyp #jiayou
