China will be sending a three-person crew to its space station, which is nearing completion, and also announced today plans for a manned mission to the Moon amid intensifying competition with the US.

China on Sunday launched a new three-person mission to complete assembly work on its permanent orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 14 crew will spend six months on the Tiangong station, during which they will oversee the addition of two laboratory modules to join the main Tianhe living space that was launched in April 2021.

China will be sending three astronauts to its Tiangong Space station in June aboard the Shenzhou 14 capsule. The crew will spend six months in the space station as they add two new modules.

Chinese astronauts returned to Earth safely on Friday after their 90-day visit to an unfinished space station in the country's first crewed mission since 2016.

China's Shenzhou 11 space capsule landed in the northern region of Inner Mongolia on Friday with two astronauts aboard, state television said, completing the country's longest manned space mission to date.

China's experimental space lab Tiangong-2 orbiting the Earth with two astronauts on board has successfully launched a micro-satellite, roughly the size of a desktop printer.

China has invited scientists from Pakistan, Germany, France, Italy, Russia and the European Union (EU) to watch the launch of its manned space flight to send two astronauts to join a space lab which has been put into orbit, a media report said today. China has been helping Pakistan's space programme.

China has launched its second space station in a sign of the growing sophistication of its military-backed program that intends to send a mission to Mars in the coming years.

China plans to launch its Shenzhou 10 spacecraft in early June 2013, one of the senior officials in charge of the manned space programme said on Saturday, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
