china's recent rapid development in the aerospace sector, the successful completion of a series of continuous launch missions, marks a new stage in china's related fields of technological development. the breakthrough of manned rocket and international space also shows the strong vitality of china's space science and technology. a series of achievements such as landing on the moon, spacewalking and exploring mars mark a new stage in china's spaceflight.

at the same time, air china has announced a series of future work plans. according to media reports, china will implement a series of launch plans next year. in october, another manned rocket is about to launch, shenzhou xi xin. after entering space, the three astronauts will fly for about half a year.

which three astronauts is expected to be selected for shenzhou 13?

from the current list, the three astronauts most likely to become shenzhou xii are zhai zhigang, wang yaping and ye guangfu. they also had high hopes when shenzhou xii was launched, and although they did not become one of them, they became the first substitutes.

more worryingly, the shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft will have female astronauts on a series of missions on the chinese space station. as one of china's female astronauts in space, wang yaping is arguably the first female astronaut most likely to enter the chinese space station. in addition, the two male astronauts are among the best in china's first and second batch.

for example, zhai zhigang, he is most likely commander of shenzhou xi xi xiis. as we all know, the first person to go into space in china was yang liwei, who went into space in 2003. zhai zhigang was also the most likely astronaut to go into space. although he later became a substitute, he carried out the shenzhou vii mission in 2008 and, at the time of the mission, became the first person to walk in chinese space and served as commander of the spacecraft.

as can be seen, zhai zhigang has a wealth of experience, especially this time, three astronauts will live in space for six months, and will carry out a number of spacewalk missions. therefore, the selection of experienced "china's spacewalk first person" zhai zhigang, is tantamount to the smooth progress of the mission added a guarantee.
