The Long March-5B Y4 carrier rocket that
is commissioned to ferry the China Space Station Mengtian laboratory
module into orbit, has safely arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Site
in South China's Hainan Province.
The Long March-5B Y4 rocket
will carry out general assembly work at the launch pad and other testing
work together with the Mengtian module that arrived earlier.
China
is gearing up to complete the building of the country's first space
station with the Mengtian - third and last part for the basic
three-module T structure and the second lab module following Wentian
module - to be launched and connected to the current space station
combination in October this year.
Compared with the Wentian
module that was launched in July and hosting experiments with focus on
the study of space life sciences, the Mengtian module will be oriented
to microgravity scientific research and is equipped with experimental
cabinets for fluid physics, materials science, combustion science, basic
physics and space technology experiments.
Mengtian also has a
payload airlock, allowing the station's small robotic arm to take
science payloads and install them on an experiment platform on the
module's exterior.
The Mengtian will also carry the world's first
Space-Based Cold Atomic Clock system consisting of a hydrogen clock, a
rubidium clock and an optical clock. If successful, this Clock will not
lose even a single second in space time travel.

This shall be the pride of China in a long time yo come. Especially when the ISS is now already five years overdue for extinction. It's about time the ISS stiops extending its life span. Simply close it down and stiop endangering the lives of the American cosmonauts.
The wicked Americans are gambling with the lives of their astronauts knowing how risky it is to be in an expired container in space. Their lives can be lost at any moment.
The Mengtian shall be the only Space Station existing for many years to come.
This is a demonstration of scientific and technological advancement.
Within just a short period of time, China is now able to show to the World her scientific and technological knowledge.
But China must not rest on its laurel. Striving for better tomorrow must always be in the minds of all Chinese people. This should be the way forward.
Don't pray pray hor. China may have it's space station, but the USA have the space force.
You just can see the difference. One is for peaceful research and advancing space technology. The other is always thinking of confrontation and expanding it's war mongering mentality even into space. A space force does not sound like a peceful move.
And that extends to patrol boats. Using the cover of curtailing illegal fishing as it's purpose, the real reason is far more sinister that that.
