A Long March 5B heavy-lift rocket will launch the roughly 22-ton Wentian experiment module around 02:20 a.m. ET (0620 UTC) on 2022-07-24 according to area clearance notices.
China will launch the Wentian experiment module to its under-construction space station from the Wenchang spaceport later 2022-08.
Tianhe performed orbital adjustments earlier 2022-08 to prepare for the arrival of Wentian.
The Long March 5B launched on 2022-07-24 and delivered the Wentian space station module into orbit.
The Wentian and Mengtian modules will be transpositioned from Tianhe’s forward docking port to lateral docking ports using a 10-meter-long robotic arm that launched with Tianhe.
China launched the Wentian space station module on 2022-07-24.
The Wentian experiment module used its own propulsion system to match orbit with Tianhe and completed rendezvous and docking with a forward docking port at 3:13 p.m. Eastern on 2022-07-24.
Both Wentian and Mengtian will be transposed to lateral docking ports to complete the planned T-shaped Tiangong space station.
The Wentian experiment module launched atop a Long March 5B rocket at 2:22 a.m. Eastern from the Wenchang spaceport on Hainan.
Wentian will deploy 30-meter-long solar arrays to increase the power available to the Tiangong space station.
A Long March 5B heavy-lift rocket will launch the Wentian experiment module from Wenchang spaceport around 02:20 a.m. ET (0620 UTC) on 2022-07-24.
Wentian includes a small robotic arm designed to work with the larger robotic arm on Tianhe.
The Wentian and Mengtian space station modules, each weighing more than 20 metric tons, are expected to launch in the second half of 2022.
The Tiangong station’s Wentian module is expected to launch around June 2022.
Experiment modules Wentian and Mengtian are planned to launch in 2022 following completion of Shenzhou-14 and the launch of Tianzhou-4.
The Wentian experiment module is planned to launch in May–June 2022 and the Mengtian experiment module is planned to launch in August–September 2022.
The two experiment modules Wentian and Mengtian were planned for launch in May–June 2022 and August–September 2022 respectively in the construction schedule.
Tianhe will be joined in orbit by two experiment-hosting modules named Mengtian and Wentian in 2022.
Experiment modules named Wentian and Mengtian are expected to launch in 2022.
Experiment modules Wentian and Mengtian are expected to launch in 2022 and each module will weigh about 22,000 kg.
