Between running experiments, daily exercise, maintenance, and cleaning… the #Shenzhou23 crew is settling into a busy routine aboard China's Tiangong space station.
Stunning shots! - China launched a Zhuque-2E Y6 rocket, successfully placing the Spacesail DTC 01 and China Mobile 02 satellites into orbit. The mission marked the 8th flight of LandSpace’s Zhuque-2 series, a cryogenic liquid rocket capable of carrying up to 6 tonnes to low-Earth orbit.

If you're wondering...Some Chinese rockets use external foam or thermal insulation tiles to protect cryogenic propellant tanks. During ascent, vibration, aerodynamic forces, and rapid temperature changes can loosen sections, causing them to detach. The shedding is by design. Saving weight to orbit.
