China Launches Emergency Rescue Craft for Stranded Astronauts

China has successfully launched an uncrewed Shenzhou-22 vehicle and docked it to its Tiangong space station, providing a potential rescue craft for three astronauts stranded due to “tiny cracks” in their return capsule’s window. The crew had to switch to the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft after discovering damage from a suspected space debris strike. China’s progress in space exploration is highlighted by this impressive turnaround time, which comes just 11 days after the initial discovery.
