Tianzhou-1 launched in April 2017 to test technologies crucial to establishing and maintaining a space station.
Tianzhou-1 was launched in April 2017 to test technologies crucial to establishing and maintaining a space station.
The Tianzhou-1 mission tested and verified technologies for fuel transfer in microgravity, a capability necessary for maintaining the orbit of the Chinese space station.
China launched the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft in 2017 to dock with the Tiangong-2 space lab.
The Long March 7 second mission in 2017 sent Tianzhou-1 to dock with the Tiangong-2 space lab and tested technologies for fuel transfer in microgravity.
Tianzhou-1 was launched in April 2017 to test rendezvous and docking maneuvers and to verify automated refueling in microgravity with the Tiangong-2 space lab.
The Long March 7 second launch in 2017 sent the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft into low Earth orbit to test docking and refueling with the Tiangong-2 space lab.
The Long March 7 has not flown since carrying Tianzhou-1 in 2017.
The Long March 7 debuted in 2016 and carried the Tianzhou-1 resupply spacecraft in 2017 and has not flown since.
The uncrewed Tianzhou-1 cargo mission launched in April 2017 to test faster rendezvous and docking procedures and refueling in microgravity.
Tiangong-2 successfully completed its engineering and science objectives in 2017 following refueling tests with the Tianzhou-1 cargo craft.
Tiangong-2 was launched in September 2016 to test advanced life support and refueling and resupply capabilities via Shenzhou-11 and Tianzhou-1 missions in preparation for a large modular space station.
Tiangong-2 is an 8.6-ton space lab that tested advanced life support with the two-crew Shenzhou-11 mission in 2016 and on-orbit refueling and resupply with the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft in 2017.
Tianzhou-1 visited Tiangong-2 in 2017 to test and verify on-orbit refueling capabilities.
Tianzhou-1 conducted an uncrewed cargo mission to Tiangong-2 to test refueling capabilities in microgravity.
