China to send youngest-ever crew to space station
The Shenzhou-17 module carrying the three space travelers is scheduled to blast off at 11:14 a.m. (0314 GMT) on Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023, from the Jiuquan launch site in China's arid northwest. The all-male trio will be led by Tang Hongbo -- in his forties -- on his first return mission to the Tiangong space station. He will be accompanied by Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, both in their mid-thirties and each making their maiden space voyages on the Shenzhou-17 mission.
