Abstract

NewsChina’s Tiangong space station has been photographed in its complete form for the first time. This vertiginous image was taken from the Shenzhou spacecraft as it made its way back to Earth after delivering three crew members to the space station. The Tianhe module, at the centre of the structure, contains astronauts’ living quarters. The China Manned Space Agency has approved more than 1000 experiments to be performed in microgravity on the space station, including studying how plants grow and how fluids flow there.PHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
