China DailyA Long March 5B carrier rocket which will launch the core capsule of China's space station is moved to the launch tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in the southernmost island province of Hainan, April 23, 2021. The Long March 5B carrier rocket which will launch the core capsule of China's space station was moved on Friday morning to the launch tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in the southernmost island province of Hainan, according to the China Manned Space Agency. China's most sophisticated space endeavor, the multimodule space station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, will be mainly composed of three components-a core capsule attached to two space laboratories-with a combined weight of more than 90 metric tons. Tiangong's two space labs will then be launched in separate Long March 5B missions and two more manned missions and two robotic cargo flights will be made to continue construction of the station.
