BEIJING -- The three astronauts of China's Shenzhou XIX spaceflight mission have entered the Tiangong space station and met with another astronaut trio on Wednesday, starting a new round of in-orbit crew handover.

The Shenzhou XVIII crew opened the hatch at 12:51 pm (Beijing Time) and greeted the new arrivals, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

The six crew members then took group pictures for the fifth space get-together in China's aerospace history.

They will live and work together for about five days to complete planned tasks and handover work, the CMSA said.

The Shenzhou XVIII crew is scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site in North China on Nov 4.
