Mission significance

The success of the Shenzhou XI mission marks the decisive and important achievement of the China Space Laboratory mission, which has laid a solid foundation for the construction and operation of the China Space Station and the long-term stay of astronauts.

Specifically, for the construction and operation tasks of the space station, the life support technology and man-machine cooperation on-orbit maintenance technology for the astronauts' medium-term stay were verified, and the related key technologies such as orbital rendezvous and docking of the space station, combined operation, manned spacecraft return, and long-term mission support on the ground were assessed, which accumulated relevant experience in long-term mission management and organizing and implementing large-scale space application experiments.
