STORYLINE:
China's Long March-5B Y4 carrier rocket, carrying space station lab module Mengtian, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in Hainan Province on Monday.
Mengtian is the second lab module of China's Tiangong space station. Consisting of a work cabin, a cargo airlock cabin, a payload cabin and a resource cabin, it is the heaviest single-cabin active spacecraft in orbit in the world right now.
It will join the combination of core module Tianhe and lab module Wentian in space to form the planned T-shape layout at the space station's completion.
The building of Tiangong into a national space laboratory with three modules marks a milestone in China's three-decade effort to advance its manned space program.
