The members of the International Space Station’s new long-term investigation team include Japanese astronaut Furukawa Cong, Russian astronaut Sergei Volkov and American astronaut Mike Fossum.
China News Service, June 7, according to the British "Daily Mail" report, the new long-term mission of the International Space Station member Japanese astronaut Furukawa Cong, Russian astronaut Sergei Volkov and American astronaut Mike Fusu On the 7th, Mu will travel to the space station on the "Union TMA-02M" manned spacecraft and begin a six-month space trip. It is understood that Furukawa will plant cucumbers on the International Space Station and Sergey Volkov will grow potatoes.
Furukawa is a doctor. He said that during the next six months, he will plant cucumbers to study how future space exploration will complete food self-sufficiency. "But we can't eat these cucumbers," he said.
Sergey Volkov said that he will plant potatoes on the space station. He even jokes that he hopes to allow astronauts to make salads on the station. Last year, Japanese astronaut Noguchi Noguchi made sushi on the space station.
At present, the three astronauts are still in isolation and are undergoing final preparations to prevent infection. They can only be interviewed after the sealed glass door.
The American astronaut Mike Fushut, 53, is currently the oldest space astronaut. He has participated in the design and construction of the International Space Station.
In July, the United States’ Atlantis space shuttle will fly to the space station for the final time and will retire. For this reason, Fustum will face a heavy workload, but he said "I am ready."
"It takes time to adapt to the environment when we are in space, but we have to run and land. This is a must," he said.
The three astronauts are expected to return in mid-November.
