(220725) -- BEIJING, July 25, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Simulated image captured at Beijing Aerospace Control Center on July 25, 2022 shows that Wentian lab module carrying out rendezvous and docking with the front port of Tianhe core module combination. Wentian, the first lab module of China's space station, has successfully docked with the combination of the Tianhe core module, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The Wentian module, launched on Sunday afternoon, docked with the front port of Tianhe at 3:13 a.m. Monday (Beijing Time), after it entered the planned orbit and completed state setting. The whole process took approximately 13 hours, the CMSA said. It is the first time that China's two 20-tonne-level spacecrafts conducted rendezvous and docking in orbit, and also the first time that space rendezvous and docking were carried out during the astronauts' in-orbit stay in the space station, the CMSA said. Later, the Shenzhou-14 astronauts will enter Wentian as scheduled, the CMSA said.

The Shenzhou-18 crew opened the hatch at 12:51 p.m. (Beijing Time) and greeted the new arrivals, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The six crew members then took group pictures for the fifth space get-together in China's aerospace history. They will live and work together for about five days to complete planned tasks and handover work, the CMSA said. The Shenzhou-18 crew is scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site in north China on Nov. 4. Photo by Li Jie/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
