JIUQUAN, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) — The Shenzhou-21 crewed spaceship will be launched at an appropriate time in the near future, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The combination of the spaceship and a Long March-2F carrier rocket has been transferred to the launching area, according to the CMSA.<\/p>\n

All facilities and equipment at the launch site are in good condition, while various pre-launch function checks and joint tests will be carried out as planned.<\/p>\n

After transferring the spaceship-carrier rocket combination to the launch area, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center will conduct functional checks on both the rocket and the spaceship, as well as organize full-system launch drills and joint exercises. Subsequently, the center will proceed with rocket propellant filling and conduct the launch mission as scheduled, according to the launch center.<\/p>\n

The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is now China’s only launch site for manned space missions. To date, all Shenzhou series spacecraft have been launched from this center.<\/p>\n

At present, all systems of the upcoming mission at the launch center are in good condition.<\/p>\n

Meteorological, emergency support, fire control, medical and other support departments have carried out multiple rounds of drills, ready for providing timely, reliable and all-round support for the Shenzhou-21 mission, according to the launch center. \u25a0<\/p>\n
