飞行任务时间表出炉！ (http://www.shaoxing.com.cn/p/2930037.html)
The mission schedule is out!
Launched the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft in May;
In June, the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was launched, and 3 astronauts were stationed in the core module and stayed in orbit for 6 months;
In July, the Wentian experimental module of the space station was launched and docked with the Tianhe core module;
In October, the Mengtian experimental module was launched to dock with the core module, and then the three modules of the space station formed the basic configuration of the "T" shape, completing the orbital construction of the Chinese space station;
The Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft and the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft will be launched later. The Shenzhou 15 flight crew consists of 3 astronauts. After rotating in orbit with the Shenzhou 14 astronauts, 6 will stay in orbit. moon.
I think Tianzhou-5 might be in November, and Shenzhou-15 must be in December.
-
I guess Shenzhou-15 wil be launched in November 28 base on calculation.
Shenzhou-13 from 2021-11-16 to 2022-05-16, stayed 182 days.
Shenzhou-14 from 2022-06-05 to 2022-12-05 will stay 183 days.
Shenshou-15 will stay with Shenzhou-14 for 7 days, so it should from 2022-11-28 to 2023-05-28, and stay 181 days.
Of course, if Shenshou-14 not stay until same day of launch or common stay days not 7, the launch date will be different.
-
This might be launched on November 28.
-
The Shenzhou-15 might be launched November 26, and they will stay with Shenzhou-14 for 9 days if my guess it right:)

2022 载人航天“最后一弹”：旅宣显示神舟十五号将于 11 月 29 日左右发射，与神十四乘组会师中国空间站 (https://www.ithome.com/0/655/199.htm)
The "last bomb" of 2022 manned spaceflight: The travel announcement shows that Shenzhou 15 will be launched around November 29, and will join the Chinese Space Station with the Shenzhou 14 crew
News from IT House on November 20, at 10:44 on June 5, 2022, Beijing time, the Long March 2F Yao 14 carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was ignited and lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It has been 168 days. The three astronauts have now completed the welcome mission of the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft, and will follow up with the astronauts of the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft in space, and work and live with them in orbit for 5 to 10 days.
Shenzhou 15 is scheduled to be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in November 2022, and will dock with the front port of Tianhe Core Module of Tiangong Space Station. With Shenzhou 14, it will be the first time that two Shenzhou spacecraft will dock at Tiangong Space Station at the same time. Two batches of six people Astronaut rotation tasks in orbit. By then, China's space station will form a combination of "three major compartments" + "three spaceships" with a total weight of more than 100 tons. We are also looking forward to the historic moment when six Chinese astronauts gather together in space.
The tourism promotion department now states that the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft will be launched on the Long March 2 F Yao 15 rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province in the evening of November 29! The new "space travel team" is ready to go.

It took the Chinese a whooping exactly 23 years & just 9 crew missions since Shenzhou 1 for them to reach their capstone moment of their human spaceflight program, but the moment is finally nearing.
Shenzhou 15 is launching to the CSS on November 29.

Which three taikonauts will go to Tiangong space station?
These are the unassigned taikonauts as of today. "Days ago" means time from his last return from space.
My guess:
One of the seats seems clear: OP2= ZHANG Lu the last unflown taikonaut from group 2.
Group 3 taikonauts must there been finishing their ASCAN training, so they're not eligible for this mission.
For OP1 I'd like to see flying DENG Quingming, the only unflown taikonaut from Group 1.
And for CDR I see two candidates: LIU Wang and ZHANG Xiaoguan. I'd choose ZHANG Xiaoguan because his old than his mate.

It’s still unclear what’s happening in Xichang, but elsewhere it’s been confirmed w/ air space closures that Shenzhou 15 is launching to the CSS on November 29 at ~15:08 UTC, marking the first “operational expedition” to the Tiangong Space Station.

Another NOTAM over Spratly Islands in South China Sea indicates a CZ3(B?) launch from Xichang. Not GTO, not SSO, then it will very likely be a launch of Beidou to MEO. Windows open 04:00~10:00UTC daily from DEC.30 to JAN.02. Last of 2022, or first of 2023? Which do you bet on?
Airspace closures for safety of #Shenzhou15 have been posted, affirming the crewed mission to @TiangongStation at ~15:05UTC on NOV.29, while the NOTAM near Fiji of a potential CZ11 launch from Xichang has been postponed to NET DEC.11 & that of a CZ2D launch today has been removed

神舟十五号任务进行最后一次全区合练 发射场做好应对低温天气准备 (http://www.news.cn/politics/2022-11/27/c_1129164623.htm)
The Shenzhou 15 mission conducts the last joint training in the whole region, and the launch site is ready to deal with the low temperature weather
Xinhua News Agency, Jiuquan, November 27th (Li Guoli, Feng Qingling) The manned flight mission of Shenzhou 15 carried out the last joint training of the whole region and the airtightness check of the whole system on the 27th. At present, the systems of the rocket, spacecraft and launch site are in good condition, and all preparations for rocket filling have been completed.
On that day, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center ushered in low temperature weather with mixed wind and snow, and the highest temperature dropped below zero. This is the second time that Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center has carried out a spacecraft launch mission in severe winter weather after the Shenzhou-4 launch mission.
The low temperature environment will have an adverse effect on the performance of outdoor refueling gas supply and non-standard tower support equipment, which will increase the difficulty of air conditioning guarantee for flying products such as spacecraft and rockets, and also face severe challenges for energy supply systems such as power supply and distribution at the launch site . To this end, the launch site conducts in-depth analysis and identification of hidden risks from the aspects of technology, management, quality, and operation, formulates prevention and control measures and emergency plans, and conducts special equipment review, operation inspection, and emergency response drills.
Liu Yang, the platform commander, led the post personnel to block the windows and platforms on the launch tower, prevent rain, keep warm, and a series of tasks that are conducive to the heating of the air-conditioning system, so as to ensure the rocket's requirements for the ambient temperature. The staff of the Meteorological Office of the Central Center also took various measures to step up meteorological monitoring and meteorological consultations through meteorological equipment such as Fengyun satellites, sounding balloons, and Doppler radars, so as to ensure timely and accurate weather forecasts for the scientific decision-making of the mission command.
"We have made special technical preparations for the meteorological factors that can affect the launch in the past 40 years, and summarized the surface winds greater than 10 meters, high-altitude winds greater than 60 meters, and low temperature weather below minus 20 degrees Celsius one by one. " said Li Xingdong, chief weather forecaster at the launch site.
After the Shenzhou 15 ship-rocket assembly arrived at the launch area, the spacecraft and rocket function checks and matching checks have been completed, and a system-wide launch drill has been organized. The rocket propellant filling and launch will be carried out in accordance with the procedures.
"According to the characteristics of this low-temperature launch, various systems at the launch site continue to carry out review of the status of facilities and equipment. We are prepared, confident, and capable of completing the launch mission." Wang Xuewu, deputy director of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, said.

China launches Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft.
China launches Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft to Tiangong station.
11/29/2022 6:22 pm (updated: 11/29/2022 6:32 pm)
BEIJING, November 29 - RIA Novosti. China's Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft was launched on Tuesday from the Jiuquan Space Center in northwestern China's Gansu Province, carrying a crew of three to the Tiangong Orbital Station, and the launch is broadcast by China Central Television.
The Long March 2F launch vehicle was launched as scheduled at 23.08 Beijing time (18.08 Moscow time).
The crew included three cosmonauts. Fei Junlong, 57, has been appointed as the Shenzhou-15 crew commander. For him, the flight was the second in his career - in 2005 he was the commander of the Shenzhou-6 manned spacecraft, he spent four days and almost 20 hours in space.
Fei Junlong is a native of China's eastern province of Jiangsu , graduated from an aviation school in the city of Chanchun in Jilin province , during his career as a fighter pilot, he has flown almost 1.8 thousand hours. Since 1985, he has been a member of the Chinese Communist Party. In 1998, he successfully passed the selection for the first cosmonaut corps of China, in the same year he was trained at the Cosmonaut Training Center. Yu. A. Gagarin in Russia . He currently holds the rank of Major General of the Strategic Support Force of the People's Liberation Army of China. The asteroid "9512 Feijunlong" is named after him, and in 2005 the Chinese government awarded him the title "Hero of Space".
The crew also included 56-year-old Deng Qingming, for whom the current flight into space was the first. Deng Qingming is a native of Jiangxi Province and has been a member of the Chinese Communist Party since 1988 and holds a master's degree. In 1984, he joined the army, where he was an Air Force fighter pilot, and in 1998, he was selected for China's first cosmonaut corps. He was part of the backup crew on the Shenzhou-9, Shenzhou-10 and Shenzhou-11 manned missions three times. He holds the rank of senior colonel.
The third member of the Shenzhou-15 crew was 46-year-old Zhang Lu, for whom the flight was also the first in his career. Zhang Lu, a native of Hunan Province , joined the PLA in 1996 , was an Air Force pilot, and in May 2010 joined the second cosmonaut corps of the PRC. Currently, he holds the rank of Senior Colonel.
During the Shenzhou-15 mission, the final stage of construction of the Chinese orbital station will be completed and the stage of its use and development will officially begin.
After the manned spacecraft arrives at the station, the first rotation of crews in orbit will take place in its history, the Shenzhou-14 crew will go to Earth after a six-month mission , and the Shenzhou-15 crew will remain working at the station until May next year.
China began construction of the Tiangong National Orbital Station on April 29, 2021, when the Tianhe main module was successfully launched into orbit, the assembly of the station's main configuration was completed on November 3, 2022. The basic configuration of the Tiangong T-shaped station now consists of the main compartment of the Tianhe and two laboratory modules docked with it, Wentian and Mengtian, the three objects together weigh approximately 69 tons.
The total living space of the station reaches approximately 110 cubic meters, it can simultaneously accommodate three astronauts or six people during a crew change. The designed operational resource of the station is designed for 15 years - until 2038. In addition, at the end of 2023, it is planned to launch the Xuntian Autonomous Astrophysical Module with an optical telescope, which will periodically dock with the station for maintenance.
At the moment, the station has a crew of three manned spacecraft Shenzhou-14, which arrived at the Tiangong in July, this is the third crew on board the Chinese orbital station.

That's really cool. In zero-g there is not enough gravitational force to cause a ball to arc downward when hit so seeing it arcing caught me by suprise. Then I noticed how he was handling the paddle and it appears he was putting a spin on the ball, which would cause an air pressure differential top vs bottom, as it moved, causing the ball to arc by a pressure difference. I love playing ping pong and would love to see two crew actually having a game in zero-g.

When your spacecraft lands back to earth, always remember to cover the fast-response Gamma ray height detector with a heavy metal shield first, as exposure could potentially harm ground personnel. Pic: Shenzhou 15 return capsule. Source: buff.ly/3qtTmb6

#Parachute plays a key role in #Shenzhou15 crew‘s landing.
It takes about 20 workers to fold the big parachute. A total of 96 ropes, each is nearly 50-meter-long, must be packed precisely so they don't get tangled.
Watch how the 1,200-square-meter parachute was packed!
