The taikonauts also underwent a series of medical checkups that included monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate and lung function. These checks are vital to assess the crew’s health status during their extended stay in space.
With more than half of its six-month mission completed, since its launch in late April, the Shenzhou-18 crew has performed two spacewalks and conducted various scientific experiments in orbit, consolidating its contribution to China’s space exploration breakthroughs.
