TEHRAN, Oct. 29 (MNA) – China is scheduled to launch its Shenzhou-19 manned spaceflight mission at 4.27 a.m. local time Wednesday (2027GMT Tuesday), according to the Chinese media.

The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday that veteran taikonaut Cai Xuzhe, who flew on the Shenzhou-14 mission in 2022, will command the mission.

The indigenously built Long March-2F rocket will carry the astronauts into space.

The Shenzhou-19 crew members will take control of space operations from the Shenzhou-18 taikonauts who are preparing to return home after conducting six months of research in space.

Beijing launched the three-member crew to its space station on April 25.
