This mission of Shenzhou 17 is the 30th mission since the implementation of manned spaceflight project, and it is also the 12 manned mission. Carry out on-orbit real (trial) inspection of space science and application loads, carry out astronaut extravehicular activities and loads, carry out extravehicular load installation and space station maintenance, continuously evaluate the functional performance of the space station assembly, and obtain valuable data and experience accumulated in the operation of the space station.
Check the coordination of the ground support center in carrying out the operation and management tasks of the space station, and further improve the operation efficiency and fault handling ability of the space station. The Shenzhou 17 mission will carry out experimental maintenance work outside the space station for the first time. According to the plan, after the Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft is put into orbit, it will adopt the autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking mode, and dock with the front port of Tianhe core cabin about 6.5 hours later, forming a three-cabin Minlang elegy combination.
