The three astronauts who took part in China’s Shenzhou-13 mission held their first press conference since returning from space 74 days ago, in Beijing on Tuesday afternoon.
China’s Shenzhou-13 astronauts, or taikonauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, returned home safely on April 17 after a record-breaking 183-day mission in space.
Jing Haipeng, deputy director of astronaut system in China’s manned space program introduced the updates of the Shenzhou-13 crew and follow-up plans.
The crew has undergone several stages including quarantine, recovery and are currently under further observation after the return.
The taikonauts are in good physical and mental health and medical test results are fine. Their muscle strength, stamina and bone density have well recovered, achieving the expectation.
They will start their regular trainings and tasks once all recovery tasks are completed. – CGTN
