AGP Executive Report
Last update: 35 minutes agoSpace Milestone: China has unveiled the Shenzhou-23 crew for a Sunday night launch to Tiangong, with Hong Kong’s first astronaut, Li Jiaying (Lai Ka-ying), joining commander Zhu Yangzhu and pilot Zhang Zhiyuan as a payload specialist—an event Hong Kong and Macao leaders are celebrating as a historic “bridge” into national space missions. Local Pride, Human Story: Lai’s path to orbit wasn’t a straight line—she has spoken about motion sickness, hot-weather struggles, and even struggling in centrifuge tests, but said she kept a “let’s give it a try” attitude through training. Science on Board: Her role includes operating a locally developed Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory to track Earth’s CO2 and methane emissions from the Tiangong space station. Tech & Innovation Glimpse: In east China’s Anhui, international journalists toured NEV and AI-linked production and demoed iFLYTEK’s AI glasses for real-time translation and summaries.
