Shenzhou 10 was the tenth manned spacecraft testing mission in the Chinese space program . The crew consisted of three Taikonauts and spent 12 days on board the Tiangong 1 space station . For this mission, the Tianlian network, completed on July 25, 2012, was used for the first time , a system of then three relay satellites in geostationary orbits that can transmit data to each other and to the ground and thus enable communication with spacecraft that have no direct contact have a ground station.
crew
The crew was selected in March 2013 (it was the former reserve team for Shenzhou 9 ) and publicly announced on June 10, 2013:
- Nie Haisheng (Commander, 2nd space flight)
- Zhang Xiaoguang (1st space flight)
- Wang Yaping , (1st space flight, second Chinese woman in space)
The names of the members of the substitute team have not been published. Unofficially, the Taikonauts Commander Liu Boming and the Operators Deng Qingming and Pan Zhanchun were the reserve crew .
Mission history
The mission started on June 11, 2013. During the two-day approach to the space station, the three space travelers celebrated the dragon boat festival on board with traditional Zongzi rice balls. The coupling with the space station took place on June 13th at 05:11 UTC, the changeover at 06:17 UTC.
On June 20, Wang Yaping held a space lesson for Chinese students, during which she performed various physical experiments and thus demonstrated the influence of weightlessness. 330 pupils in Beijing were connected directly via video conference, and the live broadcast was followed on television in more than 80,000 Chinese schools.
On June 23, the three spacemen boarded the Shenzhou spaceship, disconnected from Tiangong 1, and moved 140 m away from the space station. The new approach was hand-controlled by Nie Haisheng. After Shenzhou 10 had docked again at Tiangong 1, the crew again transferred to the space station.
On June 26, the spacecraft landed unscathed in Inner Mongolia.
