Associated space launch
Shenzhou 22 (Chinese: 神舟二十二号) will be the 22nd flight of the Shenzhou program. The spacecraft will be launched without crew to replace Shenzhou 20 that was damaged by orbital debris on the descent module porthole window, and thus deemed unsuitable for crew re-entry. The spacecraft will later return three Chinese astronauts on the 10th flight to the Chinese Space Station back to Earth, after launching on Shenzhou 21.
CZ-2F R/B was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Long March 2F/G | Shenzhou 22’, on board a Long March 2 space rocket.
The launch took place on Nov. 25, 2025, 4:11 a.m. from Launch Area 4 (SLS-1 / 921).
