Three astronauts will be on a roughly six-month mission to carry out experiments and install protective equipment against space debris. China strives to become a leading celestial power.

China on Thursday sent three astronauts to its permanent space station Tiangong to replace the crew stationed there since last October.

The Shenzhou-20 spaceship took off at 5:17 p.m. local time (0917 GMT) from Gobi Desert in northwestern China, according to state media.
