China’s Tianzhou 6 Cargo Craft Set for Launch

China’s Tianzhou 6 cargo spacecraft is set to launch from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan. This will be China’s first spaceflight since its space station entered the application and development stage. The launch site has completed all preparations and a final rehearsal for the launch, which comprehensively covered all relevant systems, including fueling up the cargo craft and transferring the spacecraft-rocket combination to the launch area. The meteorological system at the launch site has strengthened meteorological monitoring to ensure an accurate weather forecast. The combination of the Tianzhou 6 cargo spacecraft and a Long March 7 Y7 carrier rocket was vertically transferred to the launching area on Sunday.
