China's third-generation space tracking ship Yuanwang-5 departed from a port on Monday for spacecraft monitoring missions.

This is the third ocean voyage of the ship in 2022, during which it has spent more than 110 days at sea.

The Yuanwang-5 mainly undertakes maritime tracking, monitoring and communication tasks concerning rockets, satellites in orbit, spaceships and the Chinese space station.

Before the voyage, crew members improved equipment maintenance and inspections to ensure the success of future missions, said Vice-Captain Liu Mingyue.
