At 1:17 Beijing time on April 25, 2025, the Shenzhou 19 astronaut crew, which was performing missions in orbit, successfully opened its "home" and welcomed the Shenzhou 20 astronaut crew from afar to settle in the Chinese space station. This is the 6th "space meeting" in China's aerospace history, and it is also the two commanders who gathered in the "Tiangong" again after three years. Subsequently, the two astronauts took a "family portrait" and jointly reported their safety to the people of the whole country who care about them.
