The Tiangong Space Station is a Chinese space station that is fully operational. It is being developed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) as a part of China's ambitious space program. The name “Tiangong“ translates to “Heavenly Palace“ in English. The Tiangong Space Station consists of multiple modules that will serve various purposes, including living quarters for astronauts, scientific research laboratories, and facilities for conducting experiments in microgravity. It is designed to be a long-term, modular space station similar to the International Space Station (ISS), but with a smaller scale. The construction of the Tiangong Space Station is planned to occur in several phases: Tiangong-1: This was China's first space station module, launched in 2011. It served as a prototype and tested various technologies and docking procedures. Tiangong-2: Launched in 2016, this module was used to conduct additional docking and rendezvous tests. Tiangong Modules (Tianhe, Wentian, Mengtian): The core module, named Tianhe (meaning “Harmony of the Heavens“), was launched in April 2021. It serves as the main living and working area for astronauts. It has docking ports for additional modules, which will be added in subsequent launches. Wentian and Mengtian are two experiment modules that will attach to Tianhe. The Tiangong Space Station will host a variety of scientific experiments in fields such as astronomy, biology, materials science, and more. It will also serve as a platform for international collaboration, with countries being able to send astronauts and participate in research projects aboard the station. The completion of the Tiangong Space Station represents a significant milestone in China's space program, showcasing the country's growing capabilities in space exploration, technology, and scientific research. “China's Tiangong Space Station“ () by thaweverything is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (). #tiangong
