WENCHANG, Hainan Province, July 15 (Xinhua) — China launched the Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft early Tuesday morning to deliver supplies to the Tiangong orbital space station, the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA) said.
The Long March-7 Y10 carrier rocket carrying the Tianzhou-9 cargo ship lifted off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in southern China's Hainan Province at 05:34 Beijing time.
About 10 minutes after liftoff, Tianzhou 9 separated from the launch vehicle and entered the designated orbit. Its solar panels soon unfolded. CMSA declared the launch a complete success.
The cargo ship will approach and dock with the space station, thus creating a new combination.
The Tianzhou-9 cargo ship carries necessary supplies, including consumables for the crew in orbit, fuel, and equipment for experiments and tests.
The current mission is the fourth resupply cargo flight for China's manned space program since the space station entered the operation and development phase. It is also the 584th flight for the Long March series carrier rocket. -0-
