The two astronauts from Hong Kong and Macau are in good health and have successfully completed a series of rigorous training sessions, the China Manned Space Agency announced on Thursday.

They have quickly integrated into the astronaut team, and all aspects of their work are progressing smoothly, agency spokesperson Zhang Jingbo said at a press conference.

They have completed their studies in space-related theory and foundational training in physical fitness, psychology and adaptation to the space environment as scheduled, Zhang said, adding that they are now undertaking specialised spaceflight training.

The two astronauts have completed challenging training items such as desert survival and launch site emergency evacuation. Their mission skills have steadily improved, and their overall mental and physical capabilities have been significantly strengthened, Zhang added.

Subsequent training will focus on mission-specific tasks to ensure they meet all spaceflight requirements. "We look forward to their remarkable debut," he said. (Xinhua)
