  Beijing (AFP) July 25, 2022 Astronauts entered the new lab module of China's space station for the first time Monday, in a major step towards completing the orbital outpost by the end of the year. The station is one of the crown jewels of Beijing's ambitious space programme, which has landed robotic rovers on Mars and the Moon, and made China only the third nation to put humans in orbit. Once completed, Tiangong - or "heavenly palace" - will be constantly crewed by rotating teams of three astronauts, who will conduct sci ... read more |
