00:00China has just launched the Tianzhou-8 cargo ship from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province.
00:08Now, it is now on the way to China Space Station.
00:11The Tianzhou-8 cargo ship is expected to arrive at China Space Station in just a few hours.
00:17Now, this is the first resupply mission for China Space Station in 10 months.
00:24The cargo ship is bringing things for both the Taikonauts and the work on the space station.
00:30For the Chinese Taikonauts, the Shenzhou-19 crew, they are getting their life necessities,
00:35including food, medical check-up supplies, and there are also items to help them facilitate their spacewalk in the future.
00:44Also, with the cargo ship, there are tools and maintenance equipment to help maintain the space station.
00:52And there are a lot of scientific projects, experiments going with the Tianzhou-8 cargo ship.
01:00That's including some of the projects that already made bus, including fruit flies in a sub-magnetic facility.
01:10Now, scientists have told us by studying the fruit flies in that condition,
01:16those observations will help people to better prepare for future Mars and moon explorations.
01:24Also, perhaps you have heard there are mock moon soil bricks going up to China Space Station with the Tianzhou-8 cargo ship.
01:34And people are going to study how those bricks work and perform outside to the China Space Station
01:43and how they would weather the environment there.
01:46Also, going up to China Space Station, there are projects that could lead to the making of new materials.
01:54So really, this mission is the start of a lot of new space explorations.
02:00And we are here until it's arrived up to the China Space Station.
