To celebrate the 29th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Space Theatre of the Hong Kong Space Museum will screen the Sky Show Shenzhou 13 – Space Travel for eight free sessions on 1 July 2026.
Have you ever wondered what Earth looks like when viewed by astronauts from the Tiangong Space Station, which is about 400 kilometres above ground?
The Sky Show Shenzhou 13 – Space Travel is China’s first space-filmed fulldome movie. You will be taken on board the Shenzhou-13 spacecraft on a journey to the Tiangong Space Station, during which you can pursue your dream of space exploration. Through the cameras operated by the Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, you will be stunned in the immersive journey as you pierce through the atmosphere, understand the daily life and work at the space station, be amazed by the shimmering sea of city lights through a glimpse of our magnificent blue planet from a unique perspective.
Enhanced by computer animation, the show presents the various stages of the in-orbit assembly of the Tiangong Space Station and recreates the docking process of the Shenzhou spacecraft with the Tianhe Core Module. You will also witness the historic moment of Wang Yaping becoming the first Chinese female astronaut to walk in space as she successfully completes her extravehicular mission.
Be part of this unique journey of space exploration at the Hong Kong Space Museum. Set off immediately and no training is required!
The Tiangong Space Station consists of the Tianhe Core Module, Wentian Lab Module and Mengtian Lab Module. It serves as both a comprehensive base for space science experiments and a safe, habitable "space home".
On 16 October, 2021, Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu went aboard Shenzhou-13 to the Tiangong Space Station, where they stationed and began their six-month space mission.
The Tianhe Core Module plays a crucial role in the command and control of space station operations. It also supports rendezvous and docking of various spacecraft.
The space station uses a water recycling system to efficiently recover astronauts’ perspiration and urine. It addresses the issue of water resources in space effectively.
The space station offers Chinese delicacies, such as dumplings and spicy duck, to meet both the taste and nutritional demands of the astronauts.
Among the Shenzhou-13 missions, two spacewalks were completed. The cameras captured the great moments of the three astronauts working together to successfully complete their extravehicular activities in succession.
The astronauts undertook a six-month mission at Tiangong Space Station and celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year in space for the first time.
To alleviate muscle atrophy and osteoporosis caused by long-term weightlessness, astronauts must maintain a regular exercise routine. They keep spending several hours every day on special fitness equipment, such as the space treadmill and space bike, to keep in good shape.
In the weightless and confined space of the spacecraft, astronauts have to overcome various psychological hurdles. Working side-by-side in close quarters, they become each other’s strongest support bonded by hardships and happiness.
