Tianzhou No.3 Mission
The main mission of the Tianzhou-3 cargo spacecraft was as follows: 1. Transportation and storage of goods: About five tons and more than 200 packages of materials were sent to the space station, including astronauts 'living supplies (such as space drinking water, gas supplies, hygiene supplies, emergency reserves, etc.), extraterrestrial spacesuits and extraterrestrial consumables, space station platform materials, some payloads, maintenance spare parts, and experimental payloads. These materials could support three astronauts for six months in orbit and provide support for many technical verifications of the space station. 2. Transportation and replenishment of propellants: Carrying supplies such as replenishment of propellants to replenish the space station. 3. Waste disposal: Collect, store, and finally bring back to the atmosphere for destruction. 4. Power supply support: It has grid-connected power supply capability during docking, which can provide power supply support for the space station. Tianzhou-3 was the fifth mission in the key technology verification and construction phase of the China space station. After completing the rendezvous and docking with the Tianhe core module and Tianzhou-2 combination, it was transferred to the three-module (ship) combination flight state. It also carried out flying around tests, forward rendezvous and docking, and other missions, laying the foundation for the follow-up mission of the space station in orbit.

What is the main mission of Tianzhou 8?
The main tasks of Tianzhou 8 included transporting supplies for Shenzhou 19; transporting the "lunar soil bricks" to the China Space Station for exposure experiments; and providing supplies for the space station assembly in orbit. The materials loaded included consumables, propellants, application (test) devices, etc. The equipment, test products, and daily supplies (such as clothing, food, etc.) needed by astronauts in orbit would also be delivered to the space station.

Shenzhou, Tianzhou, Tiangong
The Shenzhou spacecraft was developed by China itself. It had completely independent intellectual property rights and was comparable to or better than the international third-generation manned spacecraft technology. The Shenzhou spacecraft was mainly used for manned space missions to send astronauts into space and return safely to Earth. Tianzhou was a cargo spacecraft independently developed by China. Its main mission was to transport supplies for the Chinese space station, including astronauts 'living supplies, experimental equipment, fuel, etc., to ensure the long-term orbit operation of the space station. The Heavenly Palace was a space station project in China's manned spaceflight project. The Tiangong space station provided space for astronauts to live and work in orbit and supported a variety of scientific experiments and technical verification missions. It was an important achievement of China's aerospace development and also reflected China's growing ability in space exploration and utilization.

The latest news on Tianzhou No. 7
At 22:27 on January 17,2024, Tianzhou 7 was launched into the sky with the Long March 7 Yao-8 launch vehicle at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. After the launch, it successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. The launch was a complete success. At 1:46 on January 18, Tianzhou 7 successfully docked at the backward port of the space station's sky and core module. After the rendezvous and docking was completed, it entered the combined flight segment. At 16:30 on November 10 of the same year, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully evacuated from the space station assembly and entered the independent flight phase. In the near future, it would choose a controlled re-entry into the atmosphere. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Tianzhou-8 spacecraft successfully launched
Yes, the launch of Tianzhou 8 was a success. At 23:13 on November 15,2024, the Long March 7 Yao 9 launch vehicle carrying the Tianzhou 8 cargo spacecraft was ignited and launched at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. About 10 minutes later, the Tianzhou 8 cargo spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. After that, the spacecraft's solar panels were successfully unfolded and the launch was a complete success. At 2:32 on November 16, about three hours after the launch, the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft successfully docked at the backward port of the space station's sky and core module.

Tianzhou, Tianhe Divine Boat
The Tianzhou series of cargo spacecraft was an important part of China's manned space project series. It was powered by the Long March series of rockets and was mainly responsible for transporting supplies and loads for the manned space station or the manned space laboratory, replenishing propellants, on-orbit storage, and descending waste materials. For example, the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft was launched in the middle of the night on November 15,2024. Its cargo capacity increased compared to before, and its cargo capacity was stronger. The cargo capacity increased by more than 200 liters, and the total amount of supplies sent was about 6 tons. There were 36 experiments (materials) from the ground "express delivery" to space, more than 80 products, with a total weight of about 458 kilograms. It also brought new members such as fruit flies to carry out space experiments and research, realizing the guarantee of fresh fruits and vegetables within 24 hours. The Shenzhou series was a manned spacecraft. For example, Shenzhou 19 was launched in the early morning of October 30,2024. Its astronauts carried out many missions in space, including large-scale experimental missions, such as space extravasation and space experiment layout.(For example, placing lunar soil bricks in the extraterrestrial laboratory for exposure experiments, etc.), installation of space debris protection devices on the space station, installation and recycling of extraterrestrial loads and extraterrestrial equipment, scientific education and public welfare activities, and space launch experiments. They also had to welcome the Shenzhou-20 crew. Tianhe was the core module, and the Tianzhou series of spaceships carried out rendezvous and docking operations with Tianhe's core module, providing various support for the space station's on-orbit operation. For example, Tianzhou-3 was loaded with astronauts 'living supplies, extraterrestrial spacesuits and extraterrestrial consumables, space station platform supplies, part of the load and propellants, etc. After docking with the Tianhe core module and Tianzhou-2 combination, it was transferred to the three-cabin (ship) combination flight state, laying the foundation for the subsequent flight mission of the space station in orbit.

Tianzhou 8 delayed launch time
Tianzhou-8 was originally planned to be launched in October this year, but due to the impact of the super typhoon Capricorn in September, the launch time was postponed to mid-November for safety reasons. The current launch time was confirmed to be November 15th from 23:03 to 23:20. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The reason for the delay in the launch of Tianzhou-2
The reason for the first delay in the launch of Tianzhou-2 was that there was a problem with the spray system of the launch pad. However, the reason for the second delay in launch had not been announced yet. The specific situation needed to wait for official explanation.

Tianzhou 7 crashed into the South Pacific Ocean
After Tianzhou VII completed the material transportation mission with the Tiangong Space Station, it would choose to enter the Earth's atmosphere under control and eventually crash into the South Pacific Ocean. Most of the cargo spacecraft's components would be destroyed during re-entry, and only a small amount of debris would fall into the South Pacific. This process was the normal ending after completing the mission, marking the end of the entire mission. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.
