中国太空任务还送回了一只雌性老鼠 这只母鼠生了六个健康的幼崽 证明哺乳动物可以在太空繁殖
A Chinese space mission returned a female mouse that gave birth to six healthy pups, proving mammals can reproduce in space.
一只乘坐中国沈州21号飞行任务的雌鼠于2025年11月返回地球,诞生了九只健康的幼崽,其中六只幸存下来,这是中国首次全周期哺乳动物空间实验。
A female mouse that flew aboard China's Shenzhou-21 mission returned to Earth in November 2025 and gave birth to nine healthy pups, six of whom survived, marking China’s first full-cycle mammalian space experiment.
这只老鼠属于四人小组的一部分,在天贡空间站花了大约两周时间,研究人员证实短期空间旅行并不影响其生育能力。
The mouse, part of a group of four, spent about two weeks on the Tiangong space station, with researchers confirming that short-term space travel did not impair her reproductive ability.
尽管由于任务时间表的改变造成粮食短缺,但地面小组使用大豆牛奶作为临时饲料替代品,并通过一个专用港口供水,而AI系统则监测小鼠的行为。
Despite a food shortage caused by a mission schedule change, ground teams used soybean milk as a temporary feed substitute and delivered water via a dedicated port, while an AI system monitored the mice’s behavior.
后代正在正常发育,母亲哺乳有效。
The offspring are developing normally, with the mother nursing effectively.
科学家将继续研究其成长和未来生殖潜力,以评估空间暴露的长期和多代影响,推进对微重力哺乳动物繁殖的研究。
Scientists will continue studying their growth and future reproductive potential to assess long-term and multigenerational effects of space exposure, advancing research on mammalian reproduction in microgravity.
