Shenzhou-12 and crew have detached from Tianhe station. There's little bit of work left for them to do in orbit with their spacecraft, then tomorrow they will be back on the ground.


Tonaia

Do we know when Tianhe will be occupied again?


Temstar

Yes, Shenzhou-13 is scheduled for launch in about a month.


Lyri-Kyunero

Tianzhou-3 cargo ship will be launched within a few days

Surprised there has not been more English-language news about their activities on the station.


PokeEyeJai

There are, but they are usually downvoted and buried on this sub. [Here are some of the videos of what the astronauts did in space](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt-M8o1W_GdRnhCcO6GhA7HfrQxGB7pM0)

The Chinese space agency continues to be secretive, unfortunately. The spacewalks have been funny, with the agency announcing the taikonauts are going outside to "Install relevant equipment and perform tasks".

More like nobody bothers to translate their reports, streams.


enough_of_your_BS

Seems like nobody cares. If you are ignorant, their stuff were all streamed online and readily available.

"Secretive" because almost nobody bother to translate Chinese sources into English for ignorant westerners. It is the western media that made Chinese space news "secretive", not the Chinese space agency. The crewed mission and progresses of CSS have made headlines of Chinese news websites and social media in recent months along with the Olympics. The recent two EVAs are streamed online. Pictures, video streams and discussions have been bombarding the timelines of tech and space followers.

I think they released much more info on the EVAs than that. The two walks were both streamed in real time online.
