China's youngest space crew to date embarked on a mission to the Tiangong space station aboard the Shenzhou 17 spacecraft today. The mission took off aboard a Long March 2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center located in the Gobi Desert at about 8:45am IST. The China National Space Administration called the launch "a complete success" following the spacecraft's separation from the Long March 2F rocket, which occurred 10 minutes into the flight.
