BGThe crew of China's Shenzhou-23 mission—Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhijuan, and Li Jiaxin—celebrated their first month aboard the Tiangong space station by baking pumpkin in a specialized zero-gravity oven, according to Xinhua, citing China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The astronauts conducted various scientific experiments during their stay, including using ultrasound equipment to study physiological changes in their necks, wrists, and abdominal areas to understand blood flow and muscle adaptation in microgravity. They also tested robotic systems on the station through tactile-based tasks, aiming to improve robot movement planning in orbit. Additional research focused on brain activity under zero gravity, using EEG devices to analyze visual-motor coordination and behavioral responses to different lighting conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods were employed to monitor the crew’s health and collect physiological data relevant to long-duration space missions. Launched on May 24, the Shenzhou-23 mission aims to provide valuable insights for future long-term piloted spaceflights.
