Storyline


China's cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-4, carrying supplies for the upcoming Shenzhou-14 crewed mission, will dock with the space station core module Tianhe Tuesday morning, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

The Long March-7 Y5 rocket, carrying Tianzhou-4, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on the southern island province of Hainan around 01:56 Beijing time, said the CMSA.

Like previous cargo flights, Tianzhou-4 carries three categories of supplies, including six-month living supplies for astronauts, spare parts for space station maintenance, and space research equipment.

The cargo can ensure sufficient food and drinking water for three astronauts to remain in orbit for six months.

Tianzhou-4 will use fast-docking technology, which will take only 6.5 hours to dock with the space station, said Li Zhihui, deputy commander of the cargo spacecraft system of the Fifth Research Institute under China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Li explained that after separating from the rocket, the cargo craft will move from the perigee orbit to the orbit of the space station by means of long-range autonomous guidance and near-range autonomous control, to achieve the fast-docking.

"The long-range autonomous guidance will be realized through an orbital change powered by jet engine, which enables the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft to move from a perigee orbit of 200 kilometers above the ground to a space station orbit of 393 kilometers. Then the cargo craft will enter the phase of autonomous control, where it will dock with the core module after passing through four anchoring points including five kilometers, 400 meters, 200 meters and 19 meters away from the space station. The whole process will take 6.5 hours," he said.
