The scale of China's space station has refreshed! The Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft has completed its rendezvous and docking with the space station assembly for cargo transportation | spacecraft | space station
The Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft, which had previously evacuated the space station assembly and had been flying independently in orbit for 33 days, completed its rendezvous and docking with the space station assembly again at 3:10 am Beijing time on June 6, 2023. This is the first time after the completion of China's space station that it has been combined with one Shenzhou manned spacecraft and two Tianzhou cargo spacecraft simultaneously.

The various compartments, manned spacecraft, cargo spacecraft, relay satellites used in China's space station engineering, as well as the Long March series carrier rockets used for launching these spacecraft, are all developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. Other subsystems of the engineering also involve relevant units affiliated with the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.

Previously, the maximum configuration of China's space station consisted of Tianhe core module, Wentian experimental module, Mengtian experimental module, two manned spacecraft, and one cargo spacecraft.

After the separation of the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft from the space station assembly and the re docking of the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft with the assembly, the space station assembly consists of the Tianhe core module, two experimental modules, one manned spacecraft, and two cargo spacecraft, with a larger scale than before.

At present, the space station assembly is in good condition and will continue to carry out various work as planned in the future.
