Shenzhou-22

Shenzhou 22 is an ongoing Chinese spaceflight to the Tiangong space station. The mission was launched uncrewed on 25 November 2025, six months earlier than planned, to restore emergency return capability for the station’s crew following damage to the docked Shenzhou 20 spacecraft. The vehicle docked with Tiangong the same day and is expected to remain in orbit until April or May 2026, when it will return the Shenzhou 21 crew to Earth.
