China's space agency is starting a human research program to study the effects of microgravity on the human body. The program will focus on the impacts of long-term spaceflight on bones, muscles, heart, and blood vessels. It will also study metabolism, cognition, and aging. China is targeting a crewed lunar landing by 2030 and plans to receive two crews on its space station this year. One astronaut will stay in orbit for over a year. The research will help advance public health on Earth and support China's efforts to become an aerospace power.
