June 18th, Qiongzhou.
Liu Ming, accompanied by six astronauts, walked on the red carpet, waving to the crowd on either side.
The CZ-7 rocket was already on standby at the launch site, topped with the new generation manned spaceship "Ban Chao."
Since the last Shenzhou, Shenzhou XI, was launched at the beginning of 2016, the first type of manned spaceship had quietly completed its mission in an undisclosed state, and in the time that followed, the Space Agency caught a few rides on H1, using the Dawn Spaceship at the end of last year.
Because the command module of the Dawn Spaceship was reusable and not a one-time use like "Shenzhou," naming them with "XX number" became somewhat confusing. Except for retaining the convention in the Dawn program, the naming convention for regular launches had already been changed.
