Shenzhou 13 was the crewed Shenzhou spacecraft launched from Jiuquan on October 16, 2021 Beijing time for China's second crewed construction-stage mission to the Tiangong space station. It carried Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu, docked with the Tianhe core module, supported the first Chinese crewed stay planned for about six months, enabled two EVAs and Tiangong Classroom outreach, and returned the crew safely on April 16, 2022.
