Shenzhou 14 (Chinese: 神舟十四号; pinyin: Shénzhōu Shísì-hào; lit. 'Divine Boat Number 14') is a Chinese spaceflight that launched on 5 June 2022. The flight marks the ninth crewed Chinese spaceflight and the fourteenth flight of the Shenzhou program. The spacecraft carries three People's Liberation Army Astronaut Corps (PLAAC) taikonauts on the third flight to the Tianhe core module, the first module of the Tiangong space station.
Mission
The mission will visit the Tianhe core module following the launch and docking of Tianzhou 4, the third resupply mission to the station. The crew are expected to assist with the assembly of the Wentian and Mengtian laboratories, which are scheduled to arrive at Tiangong in July and October respectively. The Shenzhou 15 crew is scheduled to arrive 10 days before Shenzhou 14 departs which will make the space station permanently manned starting with Shenzhou 14 mission as it is planned.
Spacecraft
Shenzhou 14 spacecraft is based heavily on Soyuz MS technology. Shenzhou was approved in 1992 as part of the Chinese space program Project 921, and has a design similar to the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
In the front of the spacecraft, there is the orbital module which contains an androgynous docking ring based on APAS technology, which is used to dock to the Tianhe core module. In the middle is the reentry module containing the crew which is a scaled-up version of the Soyuz descent module. The rear of the spacecraft is the service module which is equipped with engines, fuel tanks, and solar panels.
Crew
The crew was publicly announced in a press conference on 4 June 2022.
Senior Colonel Chen Dong is a veteran of Shenzhou 11. Senior Colonel Liu Yang, who became the second woman to visit the Tiangong Space Station, previously flew on Shenzhou 9. Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe makes his first flight to space.
