China adds science laboratory to its orbiting space station

Associated Press  

BEIJING — China added a laboratory to its permanent orbiting space station Monday as it moves toward completing the structure in coming months. After 13 hours of flight, it successfully docked with the Tianhe living area of the Tiangong space station at 3:13 a.m. Monday, according to the China Manned Space Agency. Three astronauts who started their six-month mission aboard the space station last month oversaw the Wentian’s arrival and docking. A Long March 5B-Y3 rocket, China’s most powerful, carried the laboratory module in the third such launch since the Chinese space station entered its construction phase.
