China launched the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-23 on Sunday, sending three astronauts to its Tiangong space station in orbit. The ship, atop a Long March-2F rocket, lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China. The Shenzhou-23 crew is composed of mission commander Zhu Yangzhu, along with astronauts Zhang Zhiyuan and Lai Ka-ying.
The spacecraft is expected to dock with the Tiangong space station approximately 3.5 hours after liftoff.
