China's second manned spacecraft was Shenzhou II. It was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on January 10, 2001. After flying in space for 6 days and 18 hours and circling the Earth 108 times, it landed in central Inner Mongolia on January 16, 2001. The spacecraft was composed of three sections: the orbital module, the return module, and the propulsion module. During the autonomous flight, a variety of experiments were conducted, including material crystal growth experiments, biological molecular space crystal growth experiments, biological space effect experiments, and cosmic gamma-rays and space environment detection. The successful launch and return of Shenzhou II laid a solid foundation for China's eventual realization of manned flight. It also marked the beginning of a new phase in China's space science research and space resource development. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

After the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft entered orbit, it successfully docked at the forward port of the space station and the core module at 11:00 on October 30,2024. The entire docking process lasted about 6.5 hours. This docking demonstrated the high precision and reliability of China's aerospace technology. The Shenzhou 18 astronauts were ready to welcome the Shenzhou 19 astronauts. The following three astronauts would enter the space station and the core module from the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft. This achievement was a major breakthrough in China's aerospace technology and an important milestone in the development of China's aerospace industry. It enhanced the national pride and demonstrated the strength and potential of China's aerospace industry to the international community. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

The Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft mission was the first time the Shenzhou series spacecraft carried out a round-trip space station astronauts transportation mission. The main purpose of this mission was to verify the key technologies for the construction and operation of the space station, such as long-term astronauts, regenerative life support, space material replenishment, extraterrestrial activities, extraterrestrial operations, and on-orbit maintenance. At the same time, it was also to accumulate experience for subsequent missions. The Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft successfully docked with the space station's core module and allowed astronauts to enter the space station assembly to work and live. Finally, the spacecraft would return to the ground safely, and the mission was considered a complete success.

The Shenzhou series of manned spaceships had been successfully launched many times. The Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft was launched at 9:22 on June 17,2021. The flight crew consisted of Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo. The Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 4:27 on October 30,2024, carrying three astronauts, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze. The launch marked the entry of China's manned space project into the space station application and development stage. After the Shenzhou 19 spacecraft entered orbit, it would carry out autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking with the space station combination according to the predetermined procedures.

Shenzhou-8 did not have a manned spacecraft. Its main mission was to verify the rendezvous, docking, and separation technology with the Tiangong-1. It had been verified twice. For the first time, it achieved independent docking and separation in space. It then caught up with the Tiangong-1 in orbit and docked and separated again. The entire combination returned to Earth after flying in space for a period of time. The main purpose was to verify the reliability of the automatic rendezvous, docking, and separation technology.
