China is set to launch its Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft after a successful joint trial exercise on Sunday. All systems are go, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s ambitious space exploration plans.
The comprehensive exercise was conducted under the unified command of the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. Teams from the Wenchang Space Launch Site, Xi’an Satellite Control Center, and other control stations across China collaborated in the simulation.
The trial covered every aspect of the mission, simulating technical states and operational procedures during preparation, launch, and flight phases. This ensured all systems work seamlessly together for the real launch.
This was the most extensive simulation for the Tianzhou-9 mission, just a step below the actual launch itself.
In orbit, the China Space Station is operating smoothly. The astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-20 mission have been training to receive Tianzhou-9, honing their skills in manual remote operations.
The upcoming launch of Tianzhou-9 is a significant step in China’s growing presence in space exploration, showcasing advancements that inspire young minds around the world.
