Tianzhou-7 Cargo Spacecraft Docking | China Space Station

The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft autonomously docked to the rear docking port of the Tianhe Core Module, arriving at the China Space Station on January 17, 2024, at 17:46 UTC (January 18, at 01:46am China Standard Time). Tianzhou-7 is the sixth cargo mission to the China Space Station.

The Shenzhou-17 crew aboard China's Tiangong Space Station has been conducting a series of scientific experiments and technology verification objectives, as well as additional extravehicular activities and payload missions.

The taikonauts have been stationed at the space station for over a third of their six-month space mission. They completed the crew rotation with the Shenzhou-16 astronauts and have conducted tasks, including space station maintenance, life and health support, spacesuit inspection and testing, a Tianzhou-6 cargo ship equipment inspection and preparation for upcoming spacewalks, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

Shenzhou-17 is the sixth crew of three astronauts on a mission to the China Space Station. Shenzhou-17 is also the twelfth crewed and seventeenth flight overall of China's Shenzhou spaceflight program. Shenzhou-17 also features the youngest crew of any Chinese space mission to date.
