Video shows Tianzhou-3 cargo spacecraft auto-docked with China’s space station

This came only 6.5 hours after its launching on Sept 20 at least one hour faster than Tianzhou-2’s journey

All thanks to the cargo spacecraft system’s updates

As a key preparation step for the upcoming Shenzhou-13 crewed mission, Tianzhou-3 carries living supplies for the astronauts, EVA space suits and equipment

Even female astronaut’s cosmetics are taken into consideration

Besides space station materials, payloads and propellants have also been delivered

Astronauts can easily figure out the contents inside by the color of the package

The whole cargo, weighing six tons, can ensure three astronauts stay in orbit for six months

Shenzhou-13 manned spaceship is scheduled to be launched on Oct. 3…
the 3rd day of China’s week-long National Day holiday

With multiple launches, China is set to complete the construction of its space station within two years

Six more missions will come in 2022, including the launch of the Wentian and Mengtian lab modules two cargo spacecraft and two crewed spaceships
