"Chinese Astronauts Confront Growing Threat of Space Debris in Orbit"

Chinese astronauts are increasingly facing the threat of space debris in orbit, highlighting the urgent need for improved safety measures for spacecraft and the space station above Earth.

• In a recent mission, Chinese astronauts aboard their spacecraft reported a significant rise in space debris, prompting concerns for the safety of their space station operations.
• The crew, consisting of three astronauts, successfully conducted repairs on the space station, but they acknowledged the growing risks posed by space debris in low Earth orbit.
• Chinas space agency is now prioritizing strategies to mitigate the hazards of space debris, as the frequency of near-misses with their spacecraft has increased over the past year.
