China on July 24, 2022 successfully launched the first lab module for its under-construction space station, the latest step in the country's ambitious programme to complete it by year's end.
The giant Long March-5B Y3 carrier rocket, carrying Wentian, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of the southern island province of Hainan.
The new module will function both as a backup of the core module, Tianhe, and as a powerful scientific experiment platform in the space station currently being built by the country.
The construction of China's space station called Tiangong is expected to be completed this year.
Currently, Tiangong consists of the Tianhe module, the Tianzhou 4 cargo ship and the Shenzhou XIV spacecraft.
