It will have capacity for seven astronauts, according to deputy chief engineering designer of manned space programme.
The successful completion of the Shenzhou 15 mission and the glitch-free launch of Shenzhou 16 underscore the strength and scope of China’s space programme. In recent years, it has become one of the few countries to reach Mars, build its own space station, and launch an increasingly large number of rockets in space
Shenzhou-16 mission: The mission comes against the background of a rivalry with the U.S. for reaching new milestones in space.
China is Tesla's second-largest market after the US, and the Shanghai plant is the electric car maker's largest production hub.
The Shenzhou 16 is expected to launch on Tuesday with a payload specialist from Beihang University among the crew.
