China Manned Space Agency Office launched a program on Saturday to solicit designs of logos for the country's manned space flight missions in 2026 from the general public.
The mission logos collected should fully embody Chinese elements, characteristics of China's manned spaceflight missions with distinct technological and artistic implications. Due consideration should also be given to the systematization, coordination, and continuity with previous mission logos.
The submission deadline for the design program is 12:00 on December 15, 2025. Details regarding entry requirements and conditions can be found on the China Manned Space Engineering website.
The program is intended to solicit logo designs for the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft mission, the Shenzhou-22 manned spaceflight mission, the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight mission, and the Mengzhou-1 spacecraft mission.
For these missions, both the Shenzhou-22 and Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight missions will maintain the three-person crew format. One astronaut from the Shenzhou-22 mission will conduct a long-term stay experiment of over one year.
In 2026, the Mengzhou-1 will make its maiden flight. The Mengzhou manned spacecraft is a new generation spacecraft comprehensively upgraded from the Shenzhou spacecraft, featuring modular design consisting of a return capsule and service module, used for space station transportation.
This mission will mark the first use of the Long March-10A carrier rocket to launch the Mengzhou-1. The maiden flight will be an unmanned test primarily verifying the Mengzhou spacecraft's overall system performance, carrying environmental assessment equipment, technical verification products, station supplies, and experimental modules. After launch, Mengzhou-1 will dock with the radial port of the core module.
