A new Chinese crew has arrived at the Tiangong space station. A Long March 2F rocket lifted off at 4:27 pm EDT (2027 GMT) Tuesday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and placed the Shenzhou-19 spacecraft into orbit. Shenzhou-19 docked with Tiangong about six and a half hours later. The launch kicked off a six-month mission for Shenzhou-19 commander Cai Xuzhe and crewmates Song Lingdong, an air force pilot, and Wang Haoze, the country's first woman space engineer. They will relieve the Shenzhou-18 crew of Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, who are scheduled to return to Earth on Sunday.
