Shenzhou 14 (Chinese: 神舟十四号; pinyin: Shénzhōu Shísì-hào; literally: 'Divine Boat Number 14') is a Chinese spaceflight scheduled to launch in May 2022. The flight will mark the ninth crewed Chinese spaceflight and the fourteenth flight of the Shenzhou program. The spacecraft will carry three People's Liberation Army Astronaut Corps (PLAAC) taikonauts on the third flight to the Tianhe core module, the first module of the Chinese Space Station.

The mission will visit the Tianhe core module following the launch and docking of Tianzhou 4, the fourth flight of China's Tianzhou cargo resupply craft. The crew are expected to assist with the assembly of the Wentian and Mengtian laboratories, which are scheduled to arrive at Tiangong in May and August respectively.[2]
