BEIJING (XINHUA) – Taikonauts aboard China’s Tiangong space station will livestream a science lecture from the Wentian lab module for the first time, the China Manned Space Agency said yesterday.
The class is scheduled to begin at 3.45pm today (Beijing Time). The Shenzhou-14 taikonauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe will introduce the lab module, micro-gravity performances of sci-tech experiments, and presentation of in-orbit plant growth research.
The space teachers will also interact with students on Earth during the class to popularise the knowledge of manned space flights and encouraging young people to develop an interest in science, the agency said.
