SUMMARY:LAUNCH OF SHENZHOU-24 WITH PAKISTANI ASTRONAUT\, Nov 24\, 2026?\, Jiuquan\, China\, time TBA
DESCRIPTION:China is getting ready for its next crew rotation on the Tiangong space station. China traditionally does not officially announce launch dates until a day or so in advance\, but outside observers expect the launch of Shenzhou-24 on November 24\, 2026 Beijing Time. \nThis flight is expected to take the first non-Chinese astronaut to Tiangong\, a Pakistani astronaut. Two have been in training.  Which will make the flight and the identity of the two Chinese taikonauts likely will not be announced until a day or two before launch. \nThe Pakistani astronaut is expected to remain on Tiangong for about one week and return to Earth on Shenzhou-23 with two of the taikonauts currently aboard. The third Shenzhou-23 crew member will remain with the two new Chinese crew for an extra 6 months until the next crew rotation\, becoming the first Chinese to remain in space for a year.
