TANEGASHIMA, Japan - Japan's fourth H-2A rocket lifts off on Dec. 14 from the Tanegashima Space Center of the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) in Kagoshima Prefecture. The rocket later released into orbit the ADEOS2 satellite, which weighs about 3.7 tons and is the heaviest one ever carried by a Japanese-built rocket. (Kyodo)

The three taikonauts aboard China's Shenzhou-18 spaceship have entered the country's space station and met with another taikonaut trio on Friday, starting a new round of in-orbit crew handover. A unique task for the taikonauts of Shenzhou-18 is to create an "aquarium" and raise fish in zero gravity. They will create a simplified version of an aquatic ecosystem using zebrafish and algae to study how the space environment affects their growth and system balance. (Xinhua/Jin Liwang)
