China today sent three astronauts to its Tiangong space station, putting a civilian into orbit for the first time as it pursues plans to send a crewed mission to the Moon by the end of the decade.

The Shenzhou-16 manned spaceship, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on 9:31 am Beijing Time on Tuesday.

The launch was a "complete success" and the "astronauts are in good condition", said Zou Lipeng, director of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Leading the crew is commander Jing Haipeng on his fourth mission, as well as engineer Zhu Yangzhu and Beihang University professor Gui Haichao, the first Chinese civilian in space.

The crew will witness the dockings of the Tianzhou-5 cargo craft and the Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship, as well as the departures of the Shenzhou-15 manned spaceship and Tianzhou-5.

The Shenzhou-16 astronauts will conduct large-scale in-orbit tests and experiments in various fields as planned. They are expected to make high-level scientific achievements in the study of novel quantum phenomena, high-precision space time-frequency systems, the verification of general relativity, and the origin of life.

China was the third country to put humans in orbit, and Tiangong is the crown jewel of its space program, which has also landed robotic rovers on Mars and the Moon.

Shenzhou-16 is the first mission to Tiangong since it entered its "application and development" stage, authorities said.

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，北京时间2023年5月30日9时31分，搭载神舟十六号载人飞船的长征二号F遥十六运载火箭在酒泉卫星发射中心点火发射，约10分钟后，神舟十六号载人飞船与火箭成功分离，进入预定轨道，航天员乘组状态良好，发射取得圆满成功。

此次任务是我国载人航天工程进入空间站应用与发展阶段的首次载人飞行任务，是工程立项实施以来的第29次发射任务，也是长征系列运载火箭的第475次飞行。

目前，空间站组合体已进入交会对接轨道，工作状态良好，满足与神舟十六号载人飞船交会对接和航天员进驻条件。

据中国载人航天工程办公室介绍，飞船入轨后，将按照预定程序与空间站组合体进行自主快速交会对接，神舟十六号航天员乘组将与神舟十五号航天员乘组进行在轨轮换。在空间站工作生活期间，神舟十六号航天员乘组将进行出舱活动，开展空间科学实（试）验，完成舱内外设备安装、调试、维护维修等各项任务。

29日神舟十六号载人飞行任务新闻发布会上，中国载人航天工程新闻发言人、载人航天工程办公室副主任林西强介绍，神舟十六号乘组的特点可以用“全、新、多”三个字来概括。一是“全”，首次包含了“航天驾驶员、航天飞行工程师、载荷专家”3个类型的航天员；二是“新”，第三批航天员首次执行飞行任务，同时，也是航天飞行工程师和载荷专家首次执行飞行任务；三是“多”，航天员景海鹏是第四次执行飞行任务，将是中国目前为止“飞天”次数最多的航天员。

按计划，神舟十六号载人飞船入轨后，将采用自主快速交会对接模式，对接于天和核心舱径向端口，形成三舱三船组合体。在轨驻留期间，将完成与神舟十五号乘组在轨轮换，驻留约5个月，开展空间科学与应用载荷在轨实（试）验，实施航天员出舱活动及货物气闸舱出舱，进行舱外载荷安装及空间站维护维修等任务，计划于今年11月返回东风着陆场。

目前，神舟十五号乘组正在紧张有序开展神舟十六号乘组进驻和神舟十五号飞船返回前的各项准备工作。神舟十六号乘组在轨期间，将迎来两次对接和撤离返回，即神舟十五号载人飞船返回、天舟五号货运飞船的再对接和撤离以及神舟十七号载人飞船对接。

Chinese authorities have issued a plan to explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and other technologies to improve experimental teaching, among a series of measures aimed at strengthening scientific education for primary and secondary school students, said a document jointly issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and other 17 central government departments on Monday. The guideline suggests providing facilities, equipment, books and software to assist in the construction of science education settings for areas and schools with less developed infrastructure, in addition to exploring the use of AI, VR and other technologies to help enhance experimental teaching and make up for the shortage of quality education and teaching resources. Schools should also fully launch science courses in accordance with prescribed curriculum plans, revise and improve the curriculum standards and teaching materials.

Biz Word of the Day

财经词汇划重点

A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a brain–machine interface (BMI) or smartbrain, is a direct communication pathway between the brain's electrical activity and an external device, most commonly a computer or robotic limb. The BCI system employs the user’s brain activity signals as a medium for communication between the person and the computer, translated into the required output. It enables users to operate external devices that are not controlled by peripheral nerves or muscles via brain activity. 

脑机接口，是在人或动物脑（或者脑细胞的培养物）与外部设备间创建的直接连接通路。脑机接口信号来自中枢神经系统，传播中不依赖于外周的神经与肌肉系统。常用于辅助、增强、修复人体的感觉–运动功能或提升人机交互能力。
