Shenzhou-18 crew members aboard China’s Tiangong Orbital Outpost provide a rare glimpse into their daily routine. This modular space station was assembled in orbit from pieces launched separately. This design can greatly improve reliability, reduce costs, shorten development cycles, and meet diversified task requirements.
Currently, the team is planning to add a single multi-functional module with six docking ports instead of expanding to six modules by duplicating the initial three. One thing you may not know about the Tiangong station, is that it features five robotic arms, with longest one being 10-meter-long.

Considering past achievements and the bright future, we feel the manned space program should have a more vivid symbol, and that the future space station should carry a resounding and encouraging name. We now feel that the public should be involved in the names and symbols, as this major project will enhance national prestige and strengthen the national sense of cohesion and pride,” said Wang Wenbao, director of the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
