Shenzhou-23 Space Mission Developments: The crew of China’s Shenzhou-23 spacecraft, aboard the Tiangong space station, has successfully conducted a range of scientific experiments, including cytological research aiming to understand liver cell metabolism in microgravity, which could aid in preventing fatty liver disease during long missions. They also installed a device for studying cosmic radiation’s impact on biological samples in space and carried out their first emergency pressure drill. Routine maintenance tasks were completed, alongside environmental monitoring.
China’s Railway Cargo Growth: From January to May 2026, China’s railway network transported 1.67 billion tons of cargo, marking a 1.8% increase from the previous year, with record daily loading volumes noted. This growth is bolstered by effective logistics for transporting key materials, including an 11.9% rise in grain transport and significant coal delivery to address electricity demands during the summer.
