 China's space station has 4 new furry crew members! Two male & two female mice arrived aboard the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft, launched on Oct 31.

They are part of a 5-7 day mission to study how mammals adapt to space. This is China's first mouse experiment in orbit, a big step for space life science. The goal is to see if they can live healthily in space, helping prepare for future human deep space exploration.

Wishing these tiny pioneers a successful mission!
