Summary
China's Shenzhou-23 astronauts completed their first in-orbit medical emergency drill since entering orbit, adapting rescue procedures and force application to microgravity aboard the space station.
The three-member crew also ran experiments on microbiome and nutritional metabolism, using a space-based Raman spectrometer to analyze urine metabolites during long-duration spaceflight.
Other studies examined visual motion processing, intuitive physics, emotional recognition and emergency decision-making to track how extended time in space affects perception, mood and response ability.
At more than 400 kilometers above Earth, the crew also handled station upkeep, including sample replacement, infrared thermal imaging installation, life-support checks, cabin environment monitoring and health exams.
