Completion of In-orbit Rendezvous and Docking of Wentian Lab Module with Tianhe Core Module Combination
2022-07-25
 After entering the orbit, the Wentian lab module successfully completed the state setting. At 3:13 on July 25, 2022 (Beijing time), it successfully docked with the front port of Tianhe core module. The whole process of rendezvous and docking lasted about 13 hours. This is the first time for China to accomplish the rendezvous and docking of two 20t-level spacecraft in orbit, and also the first space rendezvous and docking during astronauts' in-orbit stay at the space station.
 
As planned, the three Shenzhou-14 astronauts will enter the Wentian lab module later.
