China is preparing astronauts for long-term missions so that they can “carry out manned explorations of deep space in the future”, an official said.

A five-year programme to ready Chinese astronauts for long-term missions in space has been approved and will begin later this year, Director of the Astronaut Centre of China Chen Shanguang said on Monday.

Mr. Chen told the China Daily that the programme aims to establish astronauts’ operational and decision-making abilities in space, along with any psychological and physical changes they undergo living in cramped compartments in weightless conditions.
