Recently, the Shenzhou 10 space shuttle and its carrier rocket made their debut in the aviation assembly building of China's Jiuquan satellite launch base. From the disclosed pictures, we can know that the work of the spacecraft is ready.
Shenzhou 10's appearance on the launch pad answers the uncertainty surrounding China's next space launch. This is the best sign that all work is on track.
At the same time of writing this article, China has not determined the launch date of Shenzhou 10, but we can predict it. Given the time it takes to prepare the rocket for launch, the most likely launch date for Shenzhou 10 is June 11.
Soon, we will feel the tension in the preparations for the launch, and hope we can see more media involved in reporting on the mission.
The analyst has written low-level news reports related to Shenzhou 10 earlier recently, which is even more tedious than the Chinese stereotype of closed news. In fact, it's still unclear why this happened, but this silence can be related to China's recent regime restructuring.
The shenzhou-10 spacecraft will carry three astronauts to join the Tiangong-1 space station for docking and related experiments.
