Xichang Satellite Launch Center, also known as Xichang Satellite City, was founded in 1970. After 37 years of development, the center has thousands of sets of excellent equipment. It is known as the “Oriental Houston（东方休斯顿）”.
Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center was founded in 1967. The center has launched China’s first weather satellite “Fengyun-1”, making nine firsts in the history of China’s satellite launches.
Wenchang Space Launch Center（founded in 2009）is now the fourth satellite launch center of China. Because it is only 19 degrees away from the equator（赤道）, more rocket loads（负载）are possible,
making it the center of China’s space development in the future. (2022毕节改编)

On the afternoon of March 23rd, 2022, Chinese astronauts on board China’s Tiangong space station gave a science lesson 400 kilometers above the earth. It was a great success. Do you still remember the first space lesson hosted by Wang Yaping in 2013 Helped by the other two astronauts, she gave the lesson to more than 60 million school children all over the country.
While watching the science lesson from the Tiangong-1 on the morning of June 20th, 2013, Wang Lutian, a 10-year-old disabled student at a special school in downtown Beijing, was drawing a colorful rocket with crayons in his classroom. “Moon … stars … a rocket to the sky,” the boy explained his work in a cheerful voice. At that time, he and more than 100 other disabled students were enjoying the lesson given by
Wang Yaping, who talked about movements in micro-gravity（微重力）environments. “Zero gravity!” Qian Shaohong, another student at the school, shouted when he saw astronaut Nie Haisheng making a show of crossing his legs in mid-air. “Scientific knowledge has helped open a window for the children to know about the world,” said Zhang Yini, a teacher at the school.
The lesson also increased interest in space science among teenagers living on the “roof (屋脊) of the world”. “I was most interested in the presentation of the ‘water ball’ in a gravity-free environment. It’s really amazing,” said Rigzin Jigme Doje, a high school student in Lhasa, Tibet. Describing himself as a lover of physics, Doje said the lesson helped him stay true to his dream of becoming a physicist.
The lesson also encouraged other Tibetan school children to relate the mysterious world of outer space to their hometown. (2022福建改编)

China successfully sent the Shenzhou-14 manned mission to its Tiangong space station on June 5th. The three space flyers—Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe—are expected to spend six months aboard the space station’s Tianhe core module, China’s Manned Space Agency said.
The 43-year-old Chen Dong joined the Shenzhou-11 mission in 2016. This is his second mission and his first time to be a commander (指挥官). He is very excited about this. Liu Yang, 43, became China’s first woman in space aboard Shenzhou-9 in 2012. She is also making her second flight. Cai Xuzhe, 46, is making his first trip to space.
Six space missions have been planned for this year, including another crewed mission, two lab modules(实验舱) and two cargo (货物) missions.
The team aboard Shenzhou-14 spaceship will continue to build Tiangong space station. Their task will include the docking(对接), setting up and testing of the two lab modules, Wentian and Mengtian. They are set to be sent to the space station in July and October.
At the end of the Shenzhou-14 mission, another three astronauts are expected to live with the team for five to ten days. It will bring the number of Chinese astronauts in space at the same time to a record six.
This is the third manned mission during the construction of the Tiangong space station. China plans to have the space station fully ready for use by December 2022.
