Zhu Yangzhu

Zhu Yangzhu is a member of the crew for the Shenzhou-23 mission, a spaceflight to the Tiangong space station. Zhu Yangzhu was present at the send-off ceremony in Jiuquan, Gansu province, alongside fellow astronauts Lai Ka-ying and Zhang Zhiyuan. The mission is particularly noteworthy as it includes Hong Kong's first astronaut, Lai Ka-ying, a police chief inspector and tech expert. Lai Ka-ying will serve as a payload specialist on this mission, marking a significant moment for Hong Kong's participation in space exploration. The presence of Zhu Yangzhu as part of this crew underscores the collaborative nature of China's space program and the ongoing operations of the Tiangong space station.
