Ten candidates, including eight space pilots and two payload specialists, have been selected for China's fourth batch of astronauts, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced on Tuesday.
Of the two payload specialists, one is from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the other is from the Macao Special Administrative Region, said the CMSA. It added this is first time it has selected payload specialists in Hong Kong and Macao, a move which has garnered strong support and enthusiastic participation from local communities.
These candidates will undergo comprehensive and systematic training at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
据中国载人航天工程办公室消息,我国载人航天工程第四批预备航天员选拔工作日前结束,共有10名预备航天员最终入选,包括8名航天驾驶员和2名载荷专家(香港地区、澳门地区各1名载荷专家)。后续,他们将进入中国航天员科研训练中心接受全面系统的训练。
The selection of the fourth batch of Chinese astronaut candidates began in the second half of 2022.
我国载人航天工程第四批预备航天员选拔工作自2022年下半年全面启动,经过了初选、复选、定选3个阶段。
The CMSA said that China's astronaut selection and training system has become more sophisticated and well-established. As international cooperation in crewed space exploration deepens, foreign astronauts will be invited to participate in the selection and training process, and subsequently carry out missions in China's space station.
目前,我国航天员选拔训练体系更加成熟完善,随着载人航天国际合作的深入推进,还将有国外航天员参与选拔训练并执行中国空间站飞行任务。
