Tiangong astronauts live aboard for months at a time
Chinese taikonauts arrive at Tiangong on Shenzhou spacecraft and typically stay for about six-month expeditions, matching the long-duration rhythm of modern station life.
They maintain systems, run biology and materials experiments, and sometimes perform spacewalks to upgrade the outpost. Ground teams in China schedule every orbit.
Another crew calls low Earth orbit home for a season. Tiangong proves long stays are not limited to one station design.
