A third module has arrived at China’s space station, completing the construction of the country’s crewed orbital outpost. A Long March 5B rocket lifted off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center at 3:37 a.m. Eastern Oct. 31. Launch success was announced inside 25 minutes of launch with the Mengtian module in low Earth orbit. Mengtian used its own propulsion to match orbit and rendezvous with the Tiangong space station—currently in a roughly 380 by 387-kilometer orbit—and connected with a forward port on Tiangong’s docking hub just under 13 hours after launch at 4:27 p.m. Eastern, China’s human spaceflight agency, CMSA, confirmed.
