Start ma nastąpić w 11.2025.
Statek dostarczy zaopatrzenie do stacji Tiangong, a w 2026 powróci na Ziemię z załogą, która wystartowała na pokładzie Shenzhou-21.
Start został przyspieszony z powodu nieplanowanego wcześniej szybszego powrotu na Ziemię Shenzhou-21 (https://www.forum.kosmonauta.net/index.php?topic=6716.msg202753#msg202753) z załogą, która wystartowała na pokładzie Shenzhou-20 (https://www.forum.kosmonauta.net/index.php?topic=6336.msg202455#msg202455).
China begins preparations for Shenzhou XXII launch
By ZHAO LEI | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2025-11-15 21:52
The preparation work for the launch of the unmanned Shenzhou XXII spacecraft has begun, a senior engineer said.
Zhou Yaqiang of the China Manned Space Agency's General Technical Bureau told China Central Television on Saturday that all systems involved in the mission "are busy making ready for it, testing the rocket and the spaceship and preparing the payloads."
He said the Shenzhou XXII craft will carry astronauts' food and essential equipment, without offering further details.
According to the agency, the Shenzhou XXII spacecraft will be launched in due course to dock with the Tiangong space station.
The craft had originally been designated to transport the Shenzhou XXII crew to Tiangong in 2026. However, after the Shenzhou XXI spacecraft was used by the Shenzhou XX crew for their return trip when their own vehicle was possibly damaged by space debris, Shenzhou XXII is now needed as the station's standby crew ship.

Dzięki za ten wątek! Bardzo ważny, bo to dość nietypowa sytuacja.
Daty nie podano, ale w artykule jest wyraźnie wskazane
Shenzhou XXII spacecraft will be launched in due course to dock with the Tiangong space station
co rzeczywiście sugeruje, że niebawem nastąpi start.

Kwestia tego, kiedy nieoficjalnie podjęto taką decyzję.
Możliwy start byłby możliwy także na początku grudnia.
09.2024 produkcja RN March 2F Y22 dla S-22 została zakończona produkcję i weszła w fazę ostatecznego montażu i testów w Centrum Kosmicznym Jiuquan.
11.2024 Peng Huakang z China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation oświadczył, że statek kosmiczny zakończył testy i jest gotowy do pełnienia funkcji zapasowego statku ratunkowego dla misji Shenzhou-21.

The launch of Shenzhou-22 spacecraft has been scheduled for ~04:10 UTC on November 25

start (Jiuquan LC-43/91) 25.11.2025 ~04:11

https://nocneniebo.pl/misje-kosmiczne/long-march-2f-shenzhou-22/
https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/8040/
Załogowa misja startowa statku kosmicznego Shenzhou-22 rozpoczęła się, choć dokładna godzina startu nie została jeszcze ogłoszona. Na podstawie powiadomień o strefach zakazu lotów wydanych przez Centrum Kosmicne Jiuquan oraz korekt orbitalnych stacji kosmicznej, możemy z grubsza wnioskować, że start nastąpi pod koniec listopada. Niektórzy internauci uważają, że start nastąpi 25 listopada, ale dokładna data zostanie potwierdzona dopiero później. (...)
Nie wiadomo tylko, czy start będzie transmitowany na żywo, ponieważ będzie on bezzałogowy, a ładunek zostanie dostarczony na chińską stację kosmiczną. (...)
Oczywiście Shenzhou-22, jako statek załogowy, nie przenosi tak dużej ilości ładunku jak seria Tianzhou, ale nadal może przewieźć co najmniej 600 kilogramów ładunku, co jest znaczną wartością w porównaniu z czasami, gdy był załogowy.
Te setki kilogramów zapasów, oprócz łatwo dostępnej żywności kosmicznej o wysokiej gęstości odżywczej, obejmują również części zamienne do urządzeń i wyposażenia stacji kosmicznej, materiały eksploatacyjne do eksperymentów oraz sprzęt związany z pozapojazdowymi czynnościami związanymi ze śluzą powietrzną. Umożliwi to późniejszą konserwację i eksperymenty naukowe na orbicie, a także pomoże odciążyć statek transportowy Tianzhou-10.
Ponieważ start nastąpi z pełnym ładunkiem, podróż powrotna naturalnie będzie wiązała się z zabraniem członków załogi. Załoga Shenzhou-21, obecnie na orbicie, właśnie rozpoczęła swoją misję i zgodnie z planem powróci na Ziemię w kwietniu 2026 roku.
Oczywiście, chociaż trójka astronautów nie spieszy się z powrotem na Ziemię, konieczne jest jak najszybsze wystrzelenie załogowego statku kosmicznego Shenzhou-22. Wynika to z konieczności przestrzegania zasady bezpieczeństwa, która mówi, że „dopóki na orbicie znajduje się personel, co najmniej jeden załogowy statek kosmiczny musi być utrzymany”, aby zapewnić astronautom szybką drogę ewakuacji w razie awarii. (...)
Od ukończenia budowy chińskiej stacji kosmicznej, poprzez cztery kolejne misje załogowe, od Shenzhou-17 do Shenzhou-21, zgromadziła ona ponad 600 dni ciągłej obecności załogowej, przeprowadzając 76 eksperymentów naukowych i w pełni weryfikując stabilność i niezawodność jej mechanizmów operacyjnych. (...)

Według doniesień, statek kosmiczny Shenzhou-22 był bezzałogowy i przewoził żywność kosmiczną, leki kosmiczne, świeże owoce i warzywa oraz urządzenie do naprawy pęknięć w iluminatorach statku kosmicznego Shenzhou-20. Później będzie służył jako statek powrotny dla załogi Shenzhou-21.
„Shenzhou-22, jako pierwszy statek kosmiczny w nowej serii, przeszedł liczne udoskonalenia technologiczne, w tym udoskonalenia systemu instrumentów, przestrzeni montażowej ładunku oraz podzespołów” – powiedział Diao Weihe z China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Po wejściu na orbitę, statek kosmiczny Shenzhou-22 autonomicznie i szybko połączy się z kompleksem stacji kosmicznej i zadokuje zgodnie z ustaloną procedurą. Ta misja to 610. lot rakiet nośnych serii Długi Marsz.

BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Shenzhou-21 astronauts Zhang Lu and Wu Fei completed the first series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) of their mission on Tuesday, donning newly delivered extravehicular spacesuits for their inaugural use in space.
The mission marked the debut of the space station's D and E extravehicular spacesuits, which were delivered by the Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft on July 15 as part of the second-generation Feitian spacesuit series. While maintaining white as the primary color, one suit features a red trim and the other a blue trim.
"The EVAs fully demonstrated the critical role of human capabilities in extravehicular operations, with the suits providing robust safety assurance for astronauts," said Zhai Zhihong from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
The operational lifespan of the suits has been upgraded from the previous standard of 15 EVAs over three years to 20 EVAs within four years, according to the center.
The second-generation Feitian extravehicular spacesuits have reliably supported all EVAs conducted during both the construction and operational phases of China's space station. ■

Shenzhou-21 astronauts complete second series of extravehicular activities
Source: Xinhua Editor: huaxia 2026-03-16 21:50:15
BEIJING, March 16 (Xinhua) -- The Shenzhou-21 crew aboard China's orbiting space station completed their mission's second series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) on Monday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The astronaut trio -- Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang -- worked for roughly seven hours and completed their tasks at 7:35 p.m. (Beijing Time), assisted by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth.
Zhang Lu has so far carried out six EVAs, making him one of the Chinese astronauts with the most spacewalks to date.
The trio completed the installation of a space debris protection device for the space station along with other tasks. Zhang Lu and Wu Fei, who have conducted spacewalk operations, returned to the Wentian lab module safely, according to the CMSA.
Since completing the first series of EVAs on Dec. 9, 2025, the Shenzhou-21 crew has carried out equipment inspection and maintenance, environmental monitoring, and health management aboard the space station. The crew members have also conducted in-orbit training exercises, including rendezvous and docking, medical rescue, and emergency lifesaving.
The scientific experiment and test projects they undertook, covering space life science and human research, microgravity physics, and new space technologies, have been progressing steadily. They also celebrated the Spring Festival in Year of the Horse while in orbit.
The CMSA said the three astronauts have been working in orbit for more than four months. According to the mission plan, additional EVAs will be carried out by the crew during the Shenzhou-21 mission, with relevant scientific experiments and technical tests continuing as scheduled.

New vlog of Shenzhou-21 crew details advanced in-orbit medical experiments
Source: Xinhua Editor: huaxia 2026-04-13 19:53:30
BEIJING, April 13 (Xinhua) -- The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) has released a new video diary offering a detailed look at the daily work of the three Shenzhou-21 astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station, with a focus on a series of advanced aerospace medical experiments conducted 160 days into their mission.
In the video released on Sunday, astronauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang can be seen conducting a variety of in-orbit tasks. Wearing blue short-sleeved polo shirts, they move with practiced ease between equipment racks, handling samples and inspecting hardware.
The crew members remain in good physical condition and continue to work with high coordination and motivation, the CMSA said.
The astronaut trio has completed a series of cognitive function and emergency decision-making tests, as part of ongoing efforts to monitor how long-term spaceflight affects human performance in isolation and microgravity, according to the CMSA.
In the video, a key highlight is the crew's use of a space Raman spectrometer to analyze the metabolic components of urine samples. The data collected will help refine metabolic indicator systems and evaluation criteria for astronaut health during long-duration spaceflight.
The three astronauts also collected and froze saliva samples, which will be analyzed on the ground to help researchers study gut flora and digestive function.
The astronauts completed blood sample collection according to experimental plans covering bone metabolism regulation, integrative omics and sleep rhythms in space. They used a centrifuge to process the samples before storing them for return to Earth.
In the field of microgravity physical sciences, the crew replaced samples in the fluid physics experiment cabinet, exchanged burners and gas cylinders in the combustion science cabinet, and cleaned samples from the containerless experiment chamber.
The astronauts were also seen maintaining their health by exercising on a treadmill and using resistance bands in the microgravity environment.
The Shenzhou-21 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Oct. 31, 2025. The Shenzhou-21 crew completed their mission's first series of extravehicular activities (EVAs) on Dec. 9 last year and the second on March 16. ■

The astronaut trio -- Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang -- worked for roughly 5.5 hours and completed their tasks at 1:36 a.m. (Beijing Time), assisted by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth. They completed the installation of space debris protection equipment and the inspection of extravehicular equipment.
Zhang Lu and Wu Fei, who conducted spacewalk operations, returned safely to the Wentian lab module.
To date, Zhang Lu has conducted 7 extravehicular activities, setting a new record for the most spacewalks by a Chinese astronaut.
The CMSA disclosed that since the second EVAs on March 16, the Shenzhou-21 astronauts have been steadily advancing their experimental missions in space life science, human body research, and microgravity physics.
They have continued to conduct station environmental monitoring, equipment inspection and maintenance, and supply organization. The crew has also completed full-system pressure emergency drills, in-orbit emergency rescue training, and EVAs preparations.
To date, the three astronauts have been in orbit for over five months, and are in good working and living conditions.
After a thorough analysis and evaluation, the CMSA plans to extend the in-orbit stay of the Shenzhou-21 crew by approximately one month, so as to further verify the technologies regarding the long-term stay of astronauts in orbit and fully use the supplies delivered by the Shenzhou-22 spacecraft in an emergency launch. ■

BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhua) -- The Tianzhou-9 cargo craft, tasked with carrying supplies for China's space station, undocked from the station combination at 4:34 p.m. Wednesday (Beijing Time) and switched to independent flight, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The cargo craft will re-enter the atmosphere in a controlled manner at an appropriate time. During the process, a small amount of debris that survives the ablation will fall into the designated safe waters, the CMSA said.
Tianzhou-9 was launched on July 15, 2025 from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan, and then docked with the orbiting Tiangong space station. It carried supplies including astronaut consumables for in-orbit stay, propellant and application experiment equipment. ■
