Four small mice "move in" to the space station! They are in good condition.

According to the China Academy of Space Technology Center for Space Application Engineering and Technology, after the successful autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking of the Shenzhou 21 manned spacecraft with the space station module, at 6:45 on November 1, 2025 Beijing time, with close cooperation of the astronauts, the experimental unit containing 4 mice was transferred and installed from the Shenzhou spacecraft to the Tianqin experiment module on the space station. The temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, and other key environmental indicators of the experimental unit are normal, and all 4 mice can eat and drink normally, with no significant differences in activity and behavior compared to the ground control group. Preliminary observation results indicate that the mice exhibit good adaptation to the microgravity environment, and follow-up experiments will be carried out as planned.
