T+12 minutes, 18 seconds. Solar panel deployment has started. These panels have a total surface area of 24.48 square meters and provide 1000 watts of power to Shenzhou 11.
This offically marks the end of a nominal ascent to Low Earth Orbit. Congrats to the China National Space Administration on an awesome launch. We hope to see the crew back on the ground in about 33 days.
