The Shenzhou-21 crew, consisting of Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang, is currently systematically carrying out various tasks. What is the latest news on the three taikonauts' work?
Cherry tomatoes grown in an aeroponic setup are successfully growing on the space station. Taikonauts photograph the ripe tomatoes, harvest them, and hermetically seal both the tomatoes and the plants. Future plans include conducting aeroponic experiments with wheat, carrots, and medicinal and food plants to test key technologies and expand the capabilities of space cultivation.
The footage shows the crew inspecting and maintaining equipment for the regeneration and life support systems. They must regularly monitor the microbial population inside the station and assess its growth to ensure prevention and control.
