BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) — The Shenzhou 21 crew aboard China's Tiangong space station recently successfully completed a series of important in-orbit training and advanced scientific experiments, laying a solid foundation for future missions and scientific discoveries.
A video report from China Media Group (CMG) released Sunday evening showed astronauts participating in comprehensive training exercises, including telematic rendezvous and docking, medical assistance, and emergency evacuation drills, conducted last week.
According to the report, these activities are aimed at improving the crew's operational skills and ability to respond to emergencies during their long stay in orbit.
According to the report, during telematic docking and rendezvous training, the cosmonauts practiced using handheld controls to simulate the delicate process of operating spacecraft. During medical training, the crew further familiarized themselves with the location and use of medical equipment and focused on rehearsing procedures to ensure preparedness for potential health emergencies.
In particular, the crew members also conducted exercises on evacuation from the module in emergency situations under conditions of a simulated fire on the space station.
In addition to training, the crew made significant progress in several research projects. In the field of space medicine, the cosmonauts used VR goggles and an electroencephalograph to study eye-brain coordination.
This study aims to analyze patterns and changes in astronauts' brain control signals in zero-gravity conditions, which may contribute to the development of future brain-computer interaction technologies.
At the same time, research into the electrochemistry of lithium-ion batteries using optical methods is progressing successfully on the station. The results are expected to provide important theoretical support for the development and highly reliable use of lithium-ion batteries for future space missions.
The Shenzhou-21 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on October 31, 2025. Following launch, the Shenzhou-21 and Shenzhou-20 crews completed China's seventh orbital crew rotation. On December 9, the Shenzhou-21 crew completed the first series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) for their mission.
