More than 80 days in orbit — and the work continues. The #ShenzhouXXIII# crew is keeping a busy pace aboard the @CNSpaceStation, conducting space science experiments, in-orbit training and emergency drills as they advance their mission. [📹/CMS]

🩺How does traditional Chinese medicine help astronauts in space? 🖥️60 days into their mission, the #ShenzhouXXIII# crew is using a TCM diagnostic device to continuously monitor their health in orbit. It collects health information through observation, listening, questioning and pulse-taking, which is then analyzed by medical experts on Earth. [📹/CMS]

Can you touch your nose without looking?👃 Sounds easy — until you're 400 kilometers above Earth, floating in microgravity. #ShenzhouXXIII# astronaut Lai Ka-ying is taking on this seemingly simple test to explore how accurately the human body senses position and force in space without visual feedback. The data will help scientists better understand how our bodies adapt to life in orbit. 👍[📹/CMS]

🚀The three astronauts from China's #Shenzhou# XXI crewed mission made their first public appearance after returning to Earth in May this year. 👨‍🚀Astronauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang are in good physical and mental condition, with muscle strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness largely restored to pre-flight levels.
