Details:
Shehnzhou-15 docked to the Chinese Space Station Tiangongon 29 November 2022, at 21:42 UTC. History made with 6 Chinese astronauts now onboard Tiangong. I had the rare opportunity just 3 days after docking to record this HISTORY over my home. You need to see the video from Zheng Zhi et al > Called > Shenzhou-15 second stage Main Engine Cut Off This is that link > https://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=190614 He wrote: Shenzhou-15 carrying astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu, atop the Long March-2F Y15 carrier rocket, blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Tuesday 19th December 2022 at 23:08 BJT (Beijing Time).
After only 6.5 hours, the spacecraft made a fast automated rendezvous and docked with the front port of the space station's Tianhe module on Wednesday at 5:42 BJT (Beijing Time).
Shenzhou-15 passing below Jupiter and a couple of Jovian Moons, just before the spectacular second stage's Main Engine Cut Off was captured on video by many space astrophotographers in Northern China. I imaged the Chinese Space Station ( Tiangong ) on 12-02-22 Max 80° 5:55pm EST in average seeing conditions from my Manorville NY Observatory. My imaging configuration was an Edge HD 14" telescope with and Red Chroma 1.25" filter on a ZWO ASI174MM camera and Baader 2x Barlow Lens. All on a modified Orion Atlas EQ-G mount setup in Alt-Az configuration. Kind regards to all 🙂
