“Chinese astronauts Ye Guangfu and Chen Dong will join Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy and Germany’s Matthias Maurer for a 10-day joint training program in Yantai, on the Bohai Strait, in late August.The objective of the cooperation with CMSA is to fly a European astronaut on the Chinese Space Station in 2022.”
Good to see CNSA let some of ESA's astronauts eventually fly aboard Shenzhou spacecrafts.Still a shame that NASA can't participate due to the espionage risk.
Reid Wiseman is now listed as a Management Astronaut.https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/management
Tikhonov losing his flight assignment (now expected NET 2019)

And it's official -- the Turtles!! (On fenceposts, in a Harvey flood) #NewAstronauts
