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.
