China will send three astronauts to the so-called “Celestial Palace in a landmark space mission.”

Three Chinese astronauts were launched into space aboard a Chinese
spacecraft for the first crew rotation in orbit, beginning operations at
China’s space station and making it the world’s second permanently
inhabited outpost in low Earth orbit after NASA’s International Space
Station.
At 11:08 p.m. (1508 GMT) on Tuesday, amid sub-freezing temperatures in the
Gobi Desert in northwest China, the spacecraft Shenzhou-15, or “Divine
Vessel,” and its three passengers launched out atop a Long March-2F rocket
from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre.
