Officials have discussed a possible crew mission to the moon. On Saturday, state television showed images from inside the capsule as it traveled 200 meters per second over Africa before entering the atmosphere. The trio was the second crew in Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace. Its core module, Tianhe, was released in April 2021. Plans call for construction to be completed this year with the addition of two more modules.

China is excluded from the International Space Station because of US concern that its space program is run by the ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army. China was the third country to launch an astronaut into space alone after the former Soviet Union and the United States. Tiangong is China’s third space station after its predecessors launched in 2011 and 2016. The government announced in 2020 that China’s first reusable spacecraft landed after a test flight, but no photos or details of the vehicle have been released.
