Four mice in good condition after arrival at China’s space station

The four mice transported to China’s Tiangong space station aboard the Shenzhou-21 crewed spacecraft are in good condition and have adapted well to the microgravity environment, the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said on Saturday. 

Monitoring data indicates that all four mice are eating and drinking normally. Initial observations show no significant differences in their activity levels and behavioral patterns compared to the ground control group, suggesting that the animals have adapted well to the microgravity environment.
