And now, another tick on the list: their first lecture from space to be broadcast to millions of students across China. YUAN XUDONG, Communication Dispatcher, Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center “Shenzhou-14 crew to broadcast , This is the first space class for the Shenzhou-14 crew. It’s also the first class held from the Wentian lab module and the first in the space station’s ‘L’ configuration. We’re also using the main classroom on the ground for the first time, as well as a new relay-tracking mode so the class goes smoothly.

For this class, we’ve already rehearsed ground and space-to-earth exercises. Preparations for the lecture are looking good.” SUN YU, Communication Engineer, Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center “We have two methods for video and sound transmission for the class in space. There are also two back-up channels. We also have a third router, all to ensure quality and reliability.”Shenzhou-14 crew to broadcast , The Shenzhou-14 mission has also been gearing up for bigger things to come. “This month, we will welcome the Mengtian lab module, and we will witness the completion of China’s space station in orbit.” As space station construction is set to wrap up within the year, China is now on the look-out for its next generation of space travelers. It’s a search the Shenzhou-14 crew chipped in with earlier this month.
