  • The China Manned Space Agency has released a new video diary offering a detailed look at the daily work

  • of the three Shenzhou-21 astronauts.

  • Aboard the Tiangong space station with a focus on a series of advanced aerospace medical experiments conducted 160 days

  • into their mission according to the agency the astronaut trio has completed a series of cognitive function

  • and emergency decision-making tests as part of ongoing efforts to monitor how long-term spaceflight

  • affects human performance in isolation and microgravity.

  • In the video, a key highlight is the crew's use of a space Raman spectrometer

  • to analyze the metabolic components of urine samples.

  • The data collected will help refine metabolic indicator systems and evaluation criteria

  • for astronaut health during long duration spaceflight.

  • The three astronauts also collected and froze saliva samples,

  • which will be analysed on the ground to help researchers study gut flora and digestive function.

  • In the field of microgravity physical sciences the crew replaced samples in the fluid physics experiment cabinet

  • exchanged burners and gas cylinders in the combustion science cabinet and cleaned samples

  • from the containerless experiment chamber the shenzhou 21 manned spacecraft was launched from the Zhou Chen Satellite
