"The black cube is the accompanying satellite. You can see the satellite is moving fast in the lower front of the complex. The white objects are mainly clouds. The satellite was released from Tiangong-2 when it was flying over Kashgar station. You can see the airspace and atmosphere over our land when the satellite moves in orbit from Kashigar to Sanya."

An accompanying satellite that was released from Tiangong-2 space lab on Sunday sent back over 300 photos of the spacecraft-and-space-lab complex.
"This picture was an infrared image of the complex captured by the accompanying satellite shortly after it was launched from the complex. It was about 29 meters away from the complex. You can see the upper part is Tiangong-2 and the lower part is Shenzhou-11 spacecraft," said Lyu Congmin, deputy chief designer of China's manned spaceflight project.
The satellite, which weighs 47 kilograms and is the size of a printer, was launched into space aboard Tiangong-2 on Sept. 15.
The Shenzhou-11 spacecraft carried two astronauts into space on Oct. 17 from northwest China's Gobi Desert. It docked with Tiangong-2 two days later.
Two astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong captured the satellite with a hand-held camera when it flew below Tiangong-2 after being launched from it at 07:31 Sunday.
"The black cube is the accompanying satellite. You can see the satellite is moving fast in the lower front of the complex. The white objects are mainly clouds. The satellite was released from Tiangong-2 when it was flying over Kashgar station. You can see the airspace and atmosphere over our land when the satellite moves in orbit from Kashigar to Sanya," Lyu said.
The satellite, which China Central TV has nicknamed "Selfie Stick", has a 25 megapixel visible light camera and an infrared camera that is temperature-sensitive, said Chen Hongyu, chief engineer of accompanying satellite program and a researcher with the Micro-satellite Innovation Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"The satellite has two cameras. One is a visible light camera with 25 megapixel, similar to a common digital camera, and the other one is an infrared camera that is temperature-sensitive," said Chen.
