Taikonauts complete desert survival training
27 May 2018
Fifteen Chinese astronauts have just completed desert survival training deep in the Badain Jaran Desert near Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. Organised by the Astronaut Center of China (ACC), the program was designed to prepare astronauts with the capacity to survive in the wilderness in the event their re-entry capsule lands off target. This is the latest survival training activity for Chinese astronauts after their sea survival training in August 2017.
