Zhai was commander of the six-month Shenzhou XIII mission while Wang and Ye were crew members. They are part of the People's Liberation Army Astronaut Division headquartered in northwestern Beijing.

在为期6个月的神舟十三号载人飞行任务中，飞行乘组由航天员翟志刚、王亚平和叶光富组成，翟志刚担任指令长。他们隶属于总部位于北京的中国人民解放军航天员大队。

Zhai and his crewmates have spent 183 days in orbit about 400 kilometers above the Earth since their Shenzhou XIII spacecraft was launched on Oct 16 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, making it China's longest-ever spaceflight.

During their space journey, the astronauts have carried out two spacewalks that totaled more than 12 hours. They've mounted components on the station's robotic arm and used it to practice extravehicular maneuvers. They've also examined the safety and performance of support devices for spacewalks and tested the functions of their extravehicular suits.

在神舟十三号航天员乘组的太空之旅中，航天员出舱进行了两次太空漫步，总时长超过12小时。他们在空间站的机械臂上安装了组件，并用其练习出舱活动。他们测试了太空行走支撑装置的安全性和性能，并检验舱外航天服的功能。

In addition, the trio had carried out two science lectures for Chinese students from the orbiting station.
