Chinese astronauts reach new space station for three-month mission
Shenzhou-12 carrying three astronauts docks with Tiangong space station after seven-hour flight
Astronauts on board China’s first crewed spacecraft in nearly five years have reached the new Tiangong space station after blasting off from the Gobi desert.
A Long March-2F rocket launched the three astronauts in the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft, which docked with Tianhe – the main section of the Tiangong station – just over seven hours later.
