Various entities in China's space sector joined in on the celebrations for the New Year.
This post may be too long to fully display if you are reading it in your email inbox due to the number of images attached.
Ahead of most of the world, thanks to its UTC+08:00 timezone, China celebrated the New Year nationwide. The New Year also moves forward the Chinese Zodiac (生肖), with 2025 being the year of the snake (蛇).
During the celebrations, the various space companies and agencies of China shared posters online to join in celebrating. Some of the country’s media entities also shared aerospace-related posters too. Like with the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) and 75th National Day (国庆节), almost all of these posters were solely shared on Chinese social media platforms, such as Weibo and WeChat/Weixin. Due to this, I’ve compiled them all here with links back to the original posts, or where they were found. (If you have found one that I didn’t include please do reach out).
The China Manned Space Agency also shared a short message from the Shenzhou-19 crew, Cai Xuzhe (蔡旭哲), Wang Haoze (王浩泽), and Song Lingdong (宋令东). In their message the crew said:
“Let's look forward to the year 2025, when China will make further progress in the field of space. May we all light up the stars and make our wishes come true in the new year.“
If there are any problems with this translation please reach out and correct me.
I'm sorry for not providing captions or alt text for any of the posters, I’m quite busy already with other obligations.
