The Mengtian Lab Module is Successfully Transposed to Form the Basic T-shape Structure in Orbit
2022-11-03

At 9:32 on November 3, 2022 (Beijing time), the space station Mengtian lab module successfully completed its transposition.

 

During the transposition, the Mengtian lab module finished the relevant state setting and was separated from the space station assembly for about 1-hour plane transposition before docking with the lateral port of the node module of the Tianhe core module again. This afternoon, the Shenzhou-14 crew will enter the Mengtian lab module.

 

The successful transposition of the Mengtian lab module marks the smooth on-orbit assembly of the basic T-shape structure of the China  space station and a key step towards the goal of completing the space station. As planned, the basic functional tests and evaluations of the space station assembly will be conducted later.
