China launched its Shenzhou-20 mission on Thursday, carrying astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie to the Tiangong space station. The mission involves crew rotation, scientific experiments, equipment installation, and space debris mitigation. Zebrafish, planarians, and streptomyces will be used in life science experiments. The crew's return is expected in late October, with a resupply mission planned.
