Since 2016, China has celebrated China Space Day every year on April 24. This day marks the anniversary of the launch of the first Chinese satellite Dongfanghong-1 („The East is Red-1“), which was sent into space on April 24, 1970. State television livestreamed the current Shenzhou 15 mission. In addition, space events were held in many cities on Monday – activities for children included. At the Yangzhou Science and Technology Museum, for example, tomorrow’s taikonauts were allowed to slip into space suits for the photo – in keeping with the motto: „You’ll grow into it“.
