00:00The Shenzhou-19 spacecraft and its Long March-2F carrier rocket has been transported to the launch area here at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
00:11And this means the Shenzhou-19 mission is going to take off in the coming days.
00:18Now, space engineers here say the rocket is now in good condition.
00:22It will go through more checkups and launch drills in the coming days.
00:28That's before the Shenzhou-19 mission actually starts.
00:31And when the Shenzhou-19 crew takes off from here, they're going to meet up and sort of go through a change of guard process with the current Shenzhou-18 crew who are now in the Tiangong space station.
00:47We expect a modest change of guard ceremony taking place in orbit in the coming days, too.
00:54Now, the Shenzhou-18 crew, they had started their space journey here at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center around six months ago.
01:04And by now, the Shenzhou-18 crew's commander, Ye Guangfu, he has now clocked over 360 days in space.
01:13And he is expected and set to become China's first taikonaut to spend over a year in space.
